Chapter 12
Early Nightmare
Several weeks had passed since that incident in the kitchen. Kaiser had felt slight fatigue since then but it was nothing serious though and being as naïve as he was, he didn't tell anyone about it. Bulma and Vegeta had gotten closer and closer and it was expected that they'd get married soon. Kaiser was in the kitchen helping Bulma with the dishes.
"So Bulma, how are things going with you and Veggie?" Kaiser said as he was stacking plates inside the cupboard.
She glanced at him with a smile and said, "Things are going great Kaisy. Vegeta can be so adorable sometimes but sometimes he can be a total jerk." She said with a tone of anger. Bulma had started to call her son-like friend Kaisy because she thought it was cute.
"I told you to stop calling me that Bulma." He said with a pleading tone.
"But it sounds so cute though."
"Ugh whatever. Do what you must." He said with a defeated tone which made the blue haired woman giggle.
Suddenly Kaiser lost feeling of his legs and fell flat on his back, dropping the dishes on himself. Bulma jumped at the sound of the shattering dishes. She looked around to see Kaiser who was on the floor with broken pieces of glass around him. He looked up to her worriedly.
"Oh my Kami! Are you okay Kaisy? What happened?" She said as she started walking carefully to the young Saiyan while avoiding the sharp material on the floor.
"I slipped. Guess I must've dropped some water on the floor while I was washing the dishes." He lied hoping to fool his motherly friend. He stood up as he regained control over his legs.
"Be careful Kaisy. I don't want you to get hurt." She said as she recklessly brushed off the sharp pieces of his clothes, showing her motherly instincts.
"Don't worry Bulma, its just glass." He said while holding up his hand that felt the full impact of the sharp material. Bulma stared at him wide eyed which puzzled him even more.
"What is it?" He asked curiously.
"Y-Your arm." She said as she pointed her finger to his arm. Kaiser looked at it and what he saw shocked him. It was blood. It wasn't much but it was there. He couldn't believe it. He had been punched by people who could destroy planets with a single attack and not even that had made him bleed. Bulma quickly got the first aid kit and wiped the blood off the boy's arm and put a bandage on.
"Be careful Kaiser. This isn't normal even by your standards. Is everything okay?" She asked suspiciously.
"Everything is fine Bulma. I think I just fell the wrong way." He chuckled. "Anyway I should get going. Veggie wanted to spar with me as soon as I was done washing the dishes." He said as he ran towards the gravity room.
"Be careful Kaisy. Don't overdo it." She yelled out hoping her voice would reach him. She did have a concerned look on her face. She knew something was wrong and the boy just wasn't telling her.
In the gravity room…
Kaiser quickly entered the gravity room and noticed Vegeta training like a mad man.
"Sorry I am late Veggie. Got held up with Mrs. Vegeta." He said cheekily.
Vegeta grunted at his comment but it did put a smirk on his face. He noticed the bandage Kaiser had on.
"What happened to your arm?" He said as he stopped firing fists into the air.
"Oh nothing important. What's up with the gravity? Did you turn it up or something?" He said as he felt slightly heavy.
Vegeta raised an eyebrow and said, "No. It's the same as always boy. 1200x Earth's gravity." He said as he pointed his finger at the machine.
"W-What? It's the same? Why do I feel so heavy then?" The young Saiyan thought to himself. This wasn't a good sign. Vegeta studied the boy carefully trying to figure out what he was thinking.
"Well, I think I am feeling rather rusty today. It's your lucky day today Veggie, you might get the better of me." He said as he got into a fighting stance.
"Whatever boy. Let's start." He said as he dashed towards the boy.
Kaiser's smirk took an immediate 180 as he barely managed to block Vegeta's low kick. Vegeta continued to fire punches and kicks at the boy. Kaiser was barely keeping up with the Saiyan prince. Vegeta found an opening and delivered destructive roundhouse kick at the boy's ribcage.
Kaiser was sent flying and he stopped as he hit the walls of the room. He started to breath heavily and his vision was blurry.
"Damn Veggie *pant* you're getting better. I'll have to turn it up a notch." He said as he yelled out gathering his energy as an attempt to reach his maximum power.
"Your turn Veggie." Kaiser said trying his best to keep his power level constant. Vegeta noticed the boy struggling and got curious.
"Are you feeling okay boy? You don't look too well." He said with a serious expression. Kaiser grunted in response.
"I am fine. Now let's go." He said as he took his fighting stance.
Vegeta nodded in agreement and powered up to his maximum. As soon as he hit max power, he dashed quickly Kaiser faster than the boy could see and hit him with a right hook. He continued to deliver punches and kicks towards the boy who failed to block anything. Vegeta realized that this was pointless and halted his onslaught.
"Something is wrong with you boy. Let's call it a day. You're obviously in no condition to fight." Vegeta said as he tried to help the boy up. Kaiser looked at him angrily and slapped his hand away. He slowly stood up with his body trembling.
"I SAID I AM FINE!" He yelled out as he transformed into a Super Saiyan. He dashed towards Vegeta hoping to give him a good fight. Instead all of his attacks were countered, with slight difficulty, by Vegeta. This even surprised the prince.
"Now that's what I am talking about." The prince said as he tried his best to land a punch on the golden warrior. Kaiser said nothing in return but his expression was bewildered.
"What's going on? Why can't I hit him? I am much stronger than he is!" His thought was interrupted when he felt Vegeta's fist on his right cheek. He was sent flying again but he quickly regained his composure and managed to stand on his feet.
"I can't go on like this." He thought to himself as he felt his energy slipping away. Vegeta also felt this but he didn't pay much attention to this.
"Time to end this boy." He said as he powered up and charged towards Kaiser. Kaiser took a defensive position and waited for the impact. At the last minute, more than half of Kaiser's energy suddenly vanished leaving him weaker than ever. Vegeta's devastating blow hit him and it hit him hard. He could feel several bones of his breaking. The impact was so devastating that it sent Kaiser flying towards the walls of the room, breaking them, leaving a huge hole and finally sending him crashing into Dr. Briefs's car. Vegeta froze there for a second. He couldn't comprehend the situation. He didn't even hit him that hard. He regained control over his body and dashed towards the boy's broken body.
"SHIT! KAISER! ARE YOU OKAY? WHAT HAPPENED?" He demanded hoping to get answer out of the barely conscious Saiyan. However it was to no avail. Kaiser was breathing heavily and his energy was running out fast. He carefully picked him up and dashed towards the kitchen. He halted at the sight of the blue haired woman who he met in the hallway.
"VEGETA! WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT WAS THAT LOUD SOUND? WHAT HAPPENED TO KAISER? WHAT DID YOU DO?" She yelled with tears running down her face however she had to wait a little, there was no time to explain.
"THERE'S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! HE NEEDS SOME SENZU BEANS." He yelled as he dashed towards the kitchen. Bulma nodded and ran after them.
Vegeta quickly grabbed the jar and took out two senzu beans and force fed them to the little boy who was still in his arms. Bulma just watched in horror hoping and praying for the Saiyan to recover. Her prayers were answered as she saw all his cuts and bruises vanish, his bones restored and his breathing back to normal. However to her disappointment, he was still unconscious.
Vegeta carried the boy to his room and gently put him on the bed. He had concerned look on his way. He just couldn't get his head around the situation.
"We need to get him out of these clothes." She said as she examined the torn clothes the boy had on. Vegeta nodded in agreement and thus helped Bulma to get the boy to wear something that was not torn. Vegeta brought two chairs and put them next to the bed and helped his lover to sit down.
"What happened Vegeta? I know you would never hurt him like this." She said as she wiped the tears off her face.
"I don't know. I thought there was something wrong with him since he entered the gravity room. He thought I had upped the gravity when I didn't. He used his full power which was very easy to handle when on a normal day, its hell. He even transformed into a Super Saiyan but I still managed to stay on par with him and then in the end I was superior to him. My last blow sent him flying through the walls of the gravity room and straight into your father's car." He concluded as he continued to look at the boy.
Bulma couldn't believe it. Her strong son-like warrior was beaten, even in his Super Saiyan form.
"Oh my poor baby. What must he be going through?" She thought to herself as more tears formed in her eyes. Vegeta looked at her and hugged her tightly hoping to ease the pain. It wasn't easy for him either. The cheerful brat was in a weakened state. He practically looked at him like his own son and Kaiser looked at Vegeta like a father.
"Do you know anything about this?" He asked interrupting Bulma's thoughts. She remembered the incident in the kitchen. She moved away from Vegeta.
"Y-Yes. In the kitchen. He was helping me with the dished and then he suddenly fell over and got his arm cut a little when the he landed on the broken dishes. He said he slipped though." She said sadly.
"I see. Anything else?" He asked.
"No. Nothing." She said as she glanced at the young boy. She loved him so much. She didn't know why but she felt attached to him. She knew what she had to do.
"Vegeta, I know this is sudden but I was thinking of something." She said as she looked at the Saiyan Prince.
"What is it?" He asked not moving his eyes away from the boy.
"Well… I was thinking that we should… adopt him." She said quickly.
"Wait what? Why?" He demanded in a rather loud tone.
"Well. Look at him. He only had 2 years with his mother. He's the same age as Gohan but without parents. He never had a father and I am sure he needs parents right now. I think it's what he desires the most. He once told me that he looks at you like a father and me like a mother." She said hoping the Saiyan would agree.
"H-He said that?" He asked surprisingly.
"Yes Vegeta. He also said he feels at peace when the three of us are together." She said lovingly. The prince was left wide eyed.
"Is that how he feels?" He thought to himself. After a long pause, a faint smile formed on his face.
"Fine, you win. I'll be his father and you'll be his mother." He said as he looked into Bulma's blue eyes.
"Thank you so much Vegeta! I love you." She said as she kissed him on his cheek. Vegeta blushed a little but followed his new son's advice.
"I Love you too… Bulma." He said caringly as he kissed her on her cheek. The two of them hugged each other and waited patiently for the boy to wake up so they could break the news to him.
Several hours later…
Bulma and Vegeta had fallen asleep in each other's arms on the chairs they were sitting on. Kaiser was still sleeping but it was apparent that he was having a nightmare. He was moving around in his bed as if he was trying to dodge deadly attacks.
The Dream…
All that could be seen was darkness. From the darkness emerged the young Saiyan. The Saiyan appeared to be lying on the dark floor. Suddenly his eyes shot open. He quickly got up and started to look around. All he could see was darkness.
"Where am I? What is this place? I don't like it here." He said as he looked around hoping to found someone or something. He decided to keep walking hoping he'd find something.
He had walked for hours but it was to no avail. He couldn't find anything. Suddenly he spotted something from the corner of his eye. What he saw made him smile in disbelief and thus he dashed towards the source of his happiness.
The two most important people of his life; Bulma and Vegeta stood before him smiling down at him.
"How did you guys get here? Where are we?" He asked as he hugged the two. However his questions were not answered however two unknown cybernetic voices emerged.
Vegeta and Bulma stepped in front of him in order to protect him but before Kaiser could do anything, two energy blasts engulfed the most important people of his life, killing them. Kaiser stood there wide eyed. Suddenly his disbelief was interrupted by immense anger. He transformed into a Super Saiyan which brightened the place up a little more. He found his targets. There were two dark figures standing a couple of meters away from them.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! WHO ARE YOU?" Kaiser yelled out angrily.
"We are your death Saiyan. We are the androids. How do you feel Kaiser?" The cybernetic voices spoke in unison.
"Why don't you let my fists tell you." He hissed.
"Do you feel useless?"
"W-What?"
"Useless because you couldn't save them? Useless because you couldn't save anyone? Useless because you let Soba and your mother die? Useless because you let Bulma and Vegeta die?" The two said as they got closer to him.
"I-I didn't mean to. I tried my best! There was nothing I could. I was too-"
"WEAK! You were too weak. Someone like you shouldn't live. You are dying Kaiser. The heart virus has spread in your system." They said as they interrupted the young Saiyan.
Before Kaiser could speak, his heart started to ache badly. He could feel his heart trying to get out of his chest. He transformed back into his base form and fell on his knees, breathing heavily.
The androids suddenly appeared in front of him. They looked down him like he was trash.
"Now…DIE!" They said as they sent a blast at the young Saiyan.
"NOOOOO!" Kaiser yelled out as he was engulfed in the energy blast.
Back to reality…
Kaiser shot up from his bed while breathing as if his life depended on it. He was sweating profusely. He was relieved to find out that it was just a nightmare as he glanced towards Bulma and Vegeta who were sleeping in each other's arms.
"It seems as if the heart disease got to me but it doesn't make sense though, Goku was supposed to get it before me. I guess the guy from the future must have disturbed the time line or something. I should tell them when they wake up. All this has made me thirsty, I need a drink." He thought to himself as he made his way towards the kitchen.
He reached the kitchen. He still felt very fatigued, nowhere near his maximum. He took a glass from the shelf and filled it with water. He sat down on one of the chairs and started sipping on his drink. He felt a foreign taste in his drink. He moved the glass away to inspect his glass.
He saw a shade of red mixed in his glass… it was blood…his blood. In the next second he dropped the glass which broke as it fell on the hard kitchen floor.
Back in the room…
Vegeta heard the glass shatter. He looked at the bed where his new son was supposed to be but he wasn't there. Vegeta searched for his Ki and was relieved to find out that he was in the kitchen.
He gently moved Bulma away from him and made his way to the kitchen.
What he saw in the kitchen relieved him. He saw Kaiser sitting on the on one of the chairs showing his back to the Saiyan prince.
Vegeta took a sigh of relief. "How are you feeling boy?" He asked however to his surprise, there was no answer. Vegeta got closer and said, "Well answer me." He said but still got no answer. He moved towards the boy and touched him lightly on his shoulder but as soon as he touched the boy, the young Saiyan fell out of his chair and landed on his back with blood oozing from his mouth. He started breathing heavily and grabbed his shirt tightly.
Vegeta panicked at this sickening sight and panicked. "BULMA! COME HERE QUICK!" He yelled out hoping for the blue haired woman to arrive. He quickly picked up the boy waiting for her to come in. She appeared 10 seconds after he had called and what she saw didn't make her happy.
"WHAT HAPPENED? OH KAMI!" It suddenly hit her. He was holding his chest and he was breathing heavily too. "Vegeta! It's the heart virus!" She said as she ran towards the medicine drawer reaching for the antidote the fighter from the future gave to her and Goku.
"Of course! That explains his unstable ki!" He added.
"Quick! Take him back to his room. We need to lie him down." She said as she carried a bottle of water, some senzu beans and the antidote pills to Kaiser's room. Vegeta did as he was told and quickly took Kaiser's room. He put him down gently and made way for his lover.
She first took a senzu bean, had Vegeta crush it, and then sprinkle it in a glass of water. "Here Kaiser drink this." She said as she held up the glass on his lips. He barely managed to get it down but he did in the end.
"Good now swallow this." She said as she placed a pill on his tongue and had him drink some water.
His breathing had returned to normal, he stopped bleeding and shivering however it was still evident that he was in pain. Both of them took a sigh of relief.
"My poor baby… My Kaiser" She whimpered.
"He'll be alright." He reassured her. She buried her face in his chest. Vegeta suddenly remembered that his rival was also going to get the same heart virus. "Wait a minute. Wasn't Kakarot supposed to get the disease before him?" He questioned.
"I don't know. Wait! Maybe it's because the boy from the future changed history itself when he came back." She said sadly.
"Damn it all." Vegeta hissed.
"Don't be like that Vegeta, if it wasn't for him, our baby would've died."
"Whatever." He snorted.
"I should probably call Goku and tell him about our situation." She said as she reached for the phone. Vegeta grunted in response.
"It is 07 30. They should be awake." She said as she dialed the Son residence number.
At the Son residence…
Chi Chi was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the two Saiyan. Gohan was in the brushing his teeth and Goku was in the living room doing some stretches. Suddenly the phone rang and it caught Chi Chi's attention.
"GOKU! GET THE PHONE!" She yelled out from the kitchen.
"Sure Chi." Goku said in response and made his way to the phone.
He picked it up and answered the caller.
"Hello… Oh hi Bulma! How's it going on?... What about him?... WHAT? But that's not possible… Oh I see, that makes sense… He did mention that before… him coming back would change a few things… How's he now?... That's good… I'll be over in few minutes… Sit tight… Where's Vegeta?... Glad to see he's doing the right thing anyway, I'll see you soon." He said as he put the phone down.
Chi Chi overheard the entire conversation and was worried.
"Goku what happened?" She said as she approached her husband.
"It's Kaiser. The virus. He's sick." He said as he looked down.
"Oh my Kami! Poor boy."
"Yeah, I am going there now and see how he is." He said as he made his to the door but just then Gohan had made his way downstairs. He saw his father going out the door and wondered where he was going without eating anything.
"Hey dad. Where are you going?" He asked curiously.
"Gohan…" He took a pause and then continued, "Kaiser got hit by the Virus. He's sick and I am going to check on him." He said as he put his hand on his shocked son's head.
"W-What? I am coming with you!" He demanded. Goku looked at Chi Chi who nodded and then he looked back at his son.
"Very well let's go. Grab on." He said as he put two fingers on his forehead.
Gohan smiled and did as he was told and held on to his father's pants.
At Capsule Corps…
Bulma and Vegeta were sitting right next to Kaiser's bed waiting for the Son family to arrive. In the next instant the father and son had materialized into the room.
"Goku! I am glad you're here. Hello Gohan." She said as she walked towards the two Saiyans.
"Hey Bulma. Hello Vegeta." He said as he glanced over to the prince only to receive a grunt in response.
Gohan ignored everyone in the room and made his way to Kaiser. He watched his friend who was in pain. This made him sad and worried because he knew that soon, his dad would end up like that too.
"Poor kid. He looks terrible." Goku said sadly. "I'll be sure to bring some more senzu beans." He said as he looked over to the boy.
"That won't be necessary Goku, we have plenty." Bulma said as she walked towards Vegeta sitting down next to him.
"I see you two are doing well." Goku remarked with a goofy grin on his face. Bulma blushed but Vegeta just got pissed off.
"Silence you clown!" He hissed. This made everyone in the room chuckle. Suddenly Bulma remembered that she had to tell her childhood friend something very important.
"Oh by the way Goku. We have something important to tell you." Bulma said commanding everyone's attention.
"What is it?"
"Well you see. Me and Vegeta both got really close to Kaiser and well, we decided to adopt him." She said happily.
Goku tried to act surprised because he knew that it was coming. "That's great news you guys! I am so happy for you guys. Well done Vegeta." He said cheekily. Vegeta growled at his remarks and looked away.
Gohan felt happy too. "I am glad you guys decided to adopt him. He'll be much happier now." He said as he looked at his friend.
Bulma, Goku and even Vegeta let out a smile that brightened up the room and even Kaiser felt a little more at peace.
"I guess we'll be going into battle without him." Goku said as he thought about the upcoming fight with the androids.
"It doesn't matter. I'll take care of them." The prince remarked arrogantly.
"I hope everyone will make it out alive." Bulma said hoping for the best as she looked at her son.
"Get well soon…my son." Vegeta thought to himself as he put a proud smirk on his face.
