"Vegeta?"
Bulma, strapped down to the table she had been before, suddenly
blurted out the name of the Saiyan Prince.
"Bulma?
What are you talking about?" Mizuke looked over at her companion
the best she could from her current position. "You just said
Vegeta..."
"It's
weird, Mizuki. It's almost like I can fe"el him. He's closer
now, much closer. I think he might be on his way here."
"Are
you sure? Or is that just anxiety playing with your mind?"
"It's
gotta be him, Mizuki. He's coming to rescue us. I'm sure Krillin's
with him, too, though I can't feel him. I just hope they get here
in time. These creeps still haven't said what they wanted with
us. Come on, Vegeta..."
Outside of - and a few miles from - the base, the chase continued.
Vegeta was in hot persuit of the third Amazon, and not far behind
were his comrades. The battle to this point had been interesting
at best. Though they had an advantage from the begining, the Z
Fighters and their allies had only managed to keep a one man up
situation going. The Amazons had managed to take out one of the
Saiyans, Ry, earlier on. For the most part, the battle remained
a stalemate, with the last two Amazons yet to fall.
On Korin
Tower, Dr. and Mrs. Breif had gathered with Korin and the returning
Yajirobi to get play by play from King Kai. Up on his planet in
the other world, King Kai himself kept a close eye on the action,
feeding information to Korin and the others. Bubbles and Gregory
were resigned to keeping the chubby bug man in good spirits and
preve"nting him from getting too worried. His worry had merrit,
though. He and the others were placing the hope and destiny of
the world on the shoulders of a violent rogue fighter named Vegeta.
Vegeta himself,
engaged in the chase, had thoughts running through his mind as
he persued the Amazon. At first, his time with Freiza flashed
through. The years of torment, learning the true fate of his father
and home planet. Being sent to Earth with Nappa to finish the
job Kakkarot never started. Being beaten, and then joining forces
with Gohan and Krillin on Namek. Searching for Kakkarot in space
all that time, coming home empty handed only to learn that Gohan
had taken out Garlic Jr., an immortal imp with world domination
on his mind. How he would have loved to take him on.
Then came
Freiza's second coming. The boy from the future took care of that
one, not to mention adding to his fury about becoming a Super
Saiyan. Kakkarot's return was up next. Both of them becoming Super
Saiyan at once. It angered him to no end. And then, to top it
all off... Her. That woman. With her aqua hair and big blue eyes,
her sweetness and her violent temper. The woman who had tamed
his wild Saiyan heart. Bulma Breif.
He remembered
the moment he'd first had words with her, shortly after being
wished back from Namek. She was so scared, but she still stood
up to him. And then, when he'd taken up residence at her home
to train in her father's gravity machine. How she'd opened up
to him, and gotten him to open up himself as well. How they'd
slowly come together. And now, how they were being forced to be
appart.
It was these
thoughts that generated the most anger within Vegeta. The thought
of having the one thing that made him happy taken away from him
sent him into a rage. The one time in his life he actually becomes
truely happy, and it's nearly destroyed. When you hurt Vegeta,
you feel the wrath of Vegeta. This was his unwritten rule.
And now,
his rage had flowed forward in an uncontro"lable rush. It
became his energy supply, his driving force. It became the feul
for his desire to liberate the woman he considered his mate. And
most of all, it made him want to destroy his enemy without mercy.
The Amazon
had managed to stay one step ahead of him during the chase, and
suddenly, shot downward towards the ground. Vegeta saw this, and
eagerly followed. 'Looks like he's finally ready to fight one
on one.'
The two landed
at the base of a huge mountain, which had a gigantic steel door
on the front of it. Vegeta looked it over, and looked back at
the Amazon. "So, this is your home base, eh? Isn't the 'base
inside a mountainside' idea a little bit clichè? I'm sure
you 'superior' creatures could have done better than this."
"Are
you kidding? We found this old wreck of a place here. We didn't
have the time to build a new one, not to mention go unnoticed
on an island like this. So we just used it. Some sort of Earth
army base if I'm right. But it doesn't matter now. This place,
Vegeta, is where you'll meet your fate."
"And
just what is this fate of mine that you keep blabbering on about?
It seems as if you have my destiny planned out rather well and
won't let me in on it. Not that it matters, because I'm going
to stop you anyway."
At that moment,
Randall, Rico and Krillin landed nearby, r"eady to join the
fight.
"Vegeta!
Looks like you found their base!" Krillin was somewhat happy
about this new development.
"Of
course I did, baldie. This moron led me right to it. And you're
just in time! This fool was about to tell me all about the fate
he and his friends had planned out for me. Given the circumstances
of this particular encounter, that should be a rather interesting
story. Now, out with it, Amazon! Tell me what plan of yours I'm
going to thwart. Then I can finish wiping the floor with your
ass, take out your little base here, and get on with my life!"
Suddenly,
a huge hologram appeared over the entrance to the base. The screen
showed static and snow, but then flickered into focus showing
the image of another Amazon, this one looking rather tough and
evil. "So, Vegeta," came the booming voice of the new
Amazon, "you want to know what we have planned for you? Well,
since you've been so kind to take out two of my team members,
I suppose I owe you at least that much. As you can see,"
he moved out of the camera's view for a moment, revealing Bulma
and Mizuki strapped to operating tables, "we hav"e your
little friends here too. They're all a part of the grand design
we have in store for you."
"Mizuki!"
Krillin shouted at the top of his lungs, reaching out to the hologram.
He was held back by Rico and Randall.
"I swear,
if you harm them in any way, I'll mash you into a bloody pulp
and blast you into space dust!"
"Oh,
I'm not going to harm them, Vegeta. Not when you and they are
going to help me acheive my goal."
"And
what goal is that? The only goal you've acheived is PISSING ME
OFF!"
"Oh
calm down, Vegeta. It's pointless to let your ego grow to that
size. If you must know, we captured them with the express purpose
of luring you here to this base. Your friends from our dimension
were a random neusance, but they won't affect plans much at all.
You see, Saiyans in our dimension are nowhere near as strong as
you are in this one. Though they can transform into Super Saiyans,
their power is much lower than yours. We scanned dimensions for
signs of strong Saiyan life, and found yours. What we found, though,
was something more than we ever imagined.
"The
one you call Kakkarot, he has a son named Gohan. We watched Gohan
for many years as his tremendous power exploded and then subsided.
When we learned that he was a half breed of both Saiyan and Human,
we did some research and found that the half breed is stronger.
We couldn't capture Gohan, he'd defeat us easily if provoked enough.
So we set our sights on you, Vegeta, The Prince of All Saiya BACKGROUND="bgimg.jpg"ns.
We'd had you killed in our dimension, but here you managed to
survive the complete anihilation of your race. You have the blood
of the Royal Saiyans in you, making you the strongest of the Saiyan
classes. We figured that if we could crossbreed you with a human
from this dimension, we could create our own half breed warrior
and dominate the war in our dimension."
"You're
insane! Why the hell did you come to our dimension to find Humans
for your little experiments?"
"In
our dimension, before we rose up and destroyed Freiza, he managed
to get to Earth first and destroy it completely. There are no
humans left in our dimension. So we came here to capture them
as well as you. Then we could create our own Saiyan-Human fighters
and raise them to obey us. The result would be the total destruction
of our Saiyan enemies and the end of a war that has lasted nearly
13 years."
"What?
You're mad! There's no way either Bulma or I would ever subject
ourselves to your crazy ideas! Now get out here and take the beating
that's coming to you! Come and get it now and I might let you
live to go back with these other Saiyans and rot in prison. If
not, well, then you take your chances in the next dimension, one
you won't find very hospitable."
The next
thing Vegeta knew, the Amazon outside with them had launched himself
at Randall. The others were still transfixed on the hologram and
didn't see it coming.
"Look
out you fools! He's charging you!" Vegeta tried to warn them,
but it was too late. The Amazon connected to Randall's jaw with
a punch that sent him flying. When he landed, the Amazon moved
over him quickly.
"Well,
Randall. We meet again. This time, though, you won't stop me.
There's no way I'm going to go back to that dank POW camp you
locked me up in. I owe you for that time, and I'm going to take
it out of your hide."
Randall looked
up at the Amazon and smiled. "Oh yeah? I had a hell of a
time catching you the last time. This time, I won't put you back
into prison, I'll finish the JOB!" He launched a flipping
kick from the ground, catching his nemesis square in the crotch
and sending him flying himself.
The Amazon
landed on his feet, clutching his groin in extreme pain. He spoke,
with a slightly higher voice thanks to his impormptu testicular
trauma. "Randall, you're going to pay for that! I'm not going
to stop until you're dead!" Ignoring the pain, he fired a
Ki blast at the Saiyan, who immediately turned Super Saiyan and
deflected it effortlessly. The battle had begun again, Saiyan
versus Amazon...
