Vegeta wasted no time once he was in the air. His senses perked up and detected the Ki of the Amazon quickly. He was headed northward, and the Saiyan figured that was where he'd find Bulma. 'If they're doing anything to her, anything at all. If I find one scratch, one probe mark...' His thoughts drove him to move faster, pushing his speed to it's limit to catch his adversary. After a few moments, he had visual contact with the Amazon.

"Hey, freak! Get back here and fight me!" Vegeta powered up and fired a blast of energy at the Amazon, who easily dodged it and kept on going. This angered the Saiyan Prince, who fired again. "I said pull over, Amazon scumbag!" He fired two more blasts, trying to get the monster to turn and fight him. Deep down, though, he knew that he wanted the beast to get away. He wanted it to lead him to his goal. "You can run but you can't hide! Clichè, I know. But it still applies to you!" His Ki exploded in a blue flash and he sped forward, trying to physically catch his prey.

High above and slightly behind, Krillin and the two remaining Saiyans, Rico and Randall, were following as best as they could, watching the chase/battle the whole time.

"Hey Krillin. Is Vegeta always like this?" Rico's gaze never left Vegeta as he spoke to the human traveling with him.

"Vegeta? Oh yeah, he's a hothead, that's for sure. Always wants to fight. Even asked me to beat him up once so he could increase his power and take on Freiza. But deep down, he's a good guy, I guess. He's always edgy, but lately he's opened up a bit. He'll still always be Vegeta, though, no doubt about that." Krillin smiled for a moment. He'd actually spoken of Vegeta in something of a higher regard, not just out of fear. "Why do you guys wonder about Vegeta so much? Is it the dimensional differances in Saiyans?"

"You could say that. Rico here is rather attached to Vegeta." Randall smiled and looked over at his partner, who just blushed.

"What are you talking about? Rico, what the heck is he saying?" Krillin looked over at the Saiyan leader, totally overcome with curiosity.

"Alright Krillin. I'll tell you. At one time, Vegeta existed in our dimension. He and I were very close when we were young. But then the Amazons came and hunted the strongest among our children down. Vegeta was one of the ones they slaughtered. They killed him because he had the potential to rise up and beat them. That's why I got into the military. I wanted to hunt down the animal that killed him. They took him away from me. They took my brother away."

"Your... your borther?"

"Yes, Krillin. In our dimension, I am Vegeta's brother. I never saw him grow up to become what he is now. That's why I ask about him so much. The Vegeta I see is the same, yet his attitude is devoid of any love. That's why I'm so confused."

"Look at him, Rico. Does he look like a man devoid of love? He's down there chasing that Amazon down because he just might be in love. Bulma and him have gotten really close over the last few months. When they took her away from him, he was furious. I garuntee you that she's the only thing on his mind, the one thing that's making him fight this battle."

"Wow. You're right. I guess he isn't without feeling. I was worried that the temper would be the only similarity."

"Temper? Heh. Nah, I don't think Vegeta would be without that no mater what dimension he's in." At that moment, Krillin sensed another presence nearby. "Hold on, guys, there's someone else here." He tried to concentrate, unable to identify who it was. After a few seconds, he heard what sounded like a Capsule Car. He looked in the direction the sound was coming from and saw Yajirobi flying toward them, his head hanging out the window, arm waving frantically, and screaming at the top of his lungs. "Yajirobi!"

"He found them! Alright, you guys, Yajirobi found Krillin!" King Kai began to dance around, acting like a complete fool as usual. "Oh yeah! Now we stand a good chance against the Amazons!" He countinued to dance around until he saw Gregory and Bubbles staring at him oddly. This brought him to a screeching halt. After sweating for a moment in embarassment, he righted himself and smiled. "Well, you'll be glad to know that Yajirobi has met up with Kirllin and is delivering the Senzu Beans as we speak. Now the boys have an ace in the hole and should be able to defeat the Amazons."

The chimp and the grasshopper both shouted in delight, but kept their joy in check. They all knew that the job was far from over. "Now we just have to hope that Vegeta can stay straight on this one and not turn his back on Krillin and the others." Gregory sounded concerned.

"I understand, Gregory. But ever since this thing started, I've been able to sense a change in Vegeta. Something else is living inside of him now, boys, and it just might help him find the good in himself. It's almost as if Vegeta's cold heart is starting to warm up a little bit. He's still highly volitile, and I don't think he'll ever lose that part of himself completely. But we'll take any improvement we can get. It's those improvements that allow Vegeta to better both himself and the safety of Planet Earth..."

"Alright, you guys, here you go. I'm getting the heck outta here. I don't want Vegeta to even see me, especially when he's on the warpath. I don't think he'll ever forgive me for lopping off his tail." Yajirobi handed the bag of Senzu Beans to Krillin and climbed back into the cockpit of his Capsule Car. "Don't eat too many of those things at once. You'll get a tummy ache so bad it'll make the trip to Namek look like a case of nasty gas. See you guys later!" With that, the chubby senshi of sushi rocketed off into the distance, going back to Korin Tower to watch from the sidelines as usual.

"Alright. Now we have Senzu Beans. This way if the Amazons get the upper hand, we can come right back."

Randall looked at Krillin inquisitively. "What's a Senzu Bean?"

Krillin pulled one out of the bag and gave them the short version. "It's a bean with almost magical properties. Anyone who eats it gets their full strength back almost immediatly. Kroin keeps these for us and sends them along if we get stuck in the battlefield."

"Amazing. All that punch in one little legume." Randall looked at the little bean with awe. He couldn't believe that one little bean could give a fighter an edge in a battle like this one.

"OK. We have our reserve weapon, now let's catch back up with Vegeta and that Amazon. They're probably miles ahead by now." Rico, ever the business end of the team, was anxious to get going.

Krillin perked up his senses and tried to sense Vegeta's Ki. He searched for a bit, and finally found him, several miles to the north. And the strangest part of it all, was that they were slowing down. "You guys! Vegeta and that thing are a few miles north of here. And they're slowing down. What do ya make of that?"

"Two things," exclaimed Rico. "One, we must be getting close to their central base. If the Amazon is slowing down, then his confidence is growing. And two, it's a great chance for us to catch up." With that, he took off northward.

Randall looked at Krillin and smiled. "You can really tell they're brothers, can't you."

"Yeah, they're both headstrong and 'get-to-the-point'. They really are like family."

"That's fur sure. Well, let's go get us some of the action."

The two took off and followed after Rico, headed to what promised to be the final showdown. At least in their minds, they hoped it would be...

Vegeta had noticed the slowdown in the Amazon's pace, and moved to take advantage. He fired off a few blasts at his enemy, trying to get him to complete his slowing and turn to face him. "I've had just about enough of this little cat and ugly ass mouse game of yours. It's time you turned and fought me face to face." He released a few more energy waves, but to no avail. The Amazon was remarkably fast in the air, and dodged them easily.

"What's the matter, Vegeta? Am I too fast for you? Or maybe your aim isn't what it used to be. Maybe you're just not good enough to face off with us."

"What? Me, inferior to a bunch of hairy freaks? Now you're making me angry, Amazon. And trust me, that's something that you don't want to do."

"Why not?" The Amazon stopped long enough to turn and fire a blast of his own at Vegeta. "You have no idea what we have in store for you, monkey boy. If you think about it, you'll be helping our cause more than hindering it. So come and get me, Prince of Primates..." He turned again and took off, picking up the pace a little bit.

"Damn you, Amazon. You'll pay for those remarks. I'll see to that." Vegeta took off after the creature at full tilt. 'What the hell did he mean by doing more to help his cause? What the hell kind of idea could they have in their minds? I don't like the sound of this. But I don't like his taunting even more. None the less, I'll have to be on my gaurd. Hold on, Bulma, I'm coming...'
