Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Dragonball X ❯ Malice's Power ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter Two

It took Trunks twenty minutes to actually walk into his house. When he returned from his scheduled conference with CEOs of rival companies, he just stood outside Capsule and

looked toward the moon; his mind wandering about the other things he could be doing with his life.

Sighing, he finally decided to go in and begin taking the Brute Ray apart. Trunks kick his dress shoes off at the door of the

laboratory within the Briefs residence. This lab belonged to his grandfather Doctor Briefs when he was still alive. His

grandfather had remodeled it shortly after Vegeta began staying at Capsule Corp.; while training for the artificial humans 31

years ago. He had made it soundproof and chi-resistant proof so Vegeta wouldn't constantly bug him for new training

equipment when he was trying to get his own work done. In shorter words, you cannot sense chi inside it or from within. Now

it is Trunks' personal lab.

After Trunks removes his tie and jacket he sits down at the desk. On top of the very large desk, sits the Brute Ray. His father

wanted it dismantled. While under the influence of Bebi, Bulma had invented it. Thanks to this machine, it gave Bebi-Vegeta the

boost he needed to ascend to the Golden Oozaru level, a sub level below the fourth level of Super Saiya-jin. Now all Vegeta

has to do is create artificial moonlight, or use Earth's new moon to transform to the fourth level. Goku had used a 'full' Earth to

transform into the fourth level while standing on the new planet Bebi had wished for with the Dragon Balls.

Vegeta now wants the Brute Ray destroyed. Even though the machine gave him the boost he needed to catch up with Goku's

power level, he despises it. Why? Because it is artificial. This… machine, gave him the ability to reach power he had been

training years to achieve. And it gave it to him, and his tail back in a matter of seconds. He wanted to achieve that power on his

own.

He will not tolerate anything else.

Trunks sigh as he pulls out his toolbox. It would be easy to just blast it, but that would be foolish. "I hope I can finish this before

the party tonight, even though everybody is already late. I'm starving."

Marron had felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around expecting it to be Bra handing her some flush or some other type of

makeup. She nearly screams, whenever she sees the pale skinned monster before her.

But she never gets the chance to scream.

In a matter of seconds Marron is lying on the floor unconscious. Malice had applied a pressure point to her neck. She fell to the

floor, rather graceful. She fell to the floor, quietly.

Malice walks up behind Bra very quickly and quietly. Bra is applying the makeup to her face and humming a little song to

herself. She doesn't even have time to squeal once Malice's hand covers her mouth and his other wraps around her waist.

Bra's eyes widen with fear when she sees her assailants face in the mirror. Malice's grin widens with satisfaction. Fear. He

always loves to see fear in his victim's eyes. "Make a sound and I will snap your neck where you stand."

Bra can only nod. Malice lowers his hand and it travels down to the hem of her skirt. In one quick tug the skirt lands on the

ground in shreds and his other hand covers her mouth. He pushes her down to the floor. Bra begins to squirm around and she

begins kicking as fiercely as she can. Malice grins.

"Feisty. Just how I like them."

Goten knocks on the door of Capsule Corp. He shifts uncomfortably at the door. For the past twenty minutes he has been

feeling weird. Not himself exactly, but he has had a weird feeling and it has been getting stronger the closer he got to Capsule

Corp.

"Could this have been what Paris was talking about? I mean, been feeling uneasy myself the past twenty minutes... ?" Goten thinks to himself.

Paris herself is fidgeting where she is standing. She has only been to Capsule Corp. a few times and that was only been in the

past few months whenever Goten came to visit Trunks briefly. Even though she is a model, being in the presence of such

famous people, Trunks and Bulma, has always been exciting. She grabs Goten's hand and looks up in his eyes.

Goten looks down and smiles at her. "Maybe tonight, I'll ask her to marry me. It will probably make mother very happy

that I'm ready to settle down. Mom has always liked Paris." Goten says to himself.

A few seconds later the door opens but no one is there.

"AHH! A ghost!" screams Goten.

"Beep!" came a little robotic sound near the floor.

"Ohh how cute!" squeals Paris. "A little robot!" Paris squats down to get a better look at the tiny robot.

"Robot? Oh you mean Giru", replies Goten, smiling dumbly. He looks down at Giru and waves at the little robot. "Hey little

buddy! Has the party started yet?"

The little robot shakes his head.

"Cool! So we are early. Lets go in and see if Bulma will give me a taste test of the dinner before Trunks!" grins Goten earning a

chuckle from Paris. The two walk inside and Giru directs them to the kitchen where Bulma and a few specialized cooks are

continuing to make dinner.

_________________________________________________

Vegeta's head snaps up. He briefly felt a small power up. Small, but still chi power is still chi power.

Bra.

Vegeta runs over to the gravity machine and lowers the gravity. He wastes no time to open the door and flying up to the

window of Bra's room. What he sees makes him snap.

"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" screams Vegeta as he sends a chi blast through the window.

Malice looks up from his `prey' and sees the blast headed towards him. He doesn't have time to avoid the blast as it hits head

on and sends him through the opposite wall putting him in the hallway.

Vegeta flies through the hole he created and lands next to his naked daughter. From the corner of his eye he sees Krillin's

daughter Marron lying unconscious on the floor. She appears unharmed, and fully clothed, but he doesn't care.

It's Bra that he is thinking about.

He squats down to his daughter. He observes the damage done. He was too late. He picks his daughter up and hugs her to his

chest. Tears threaten to pour out his eyes. His little girl was raped and there was not a damn thing he could do. His rage pours

into overdrive.

"YOU BASTARD! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME!" screams Vegeta.

Malice steps out of the darkness from the hallway, with his clothing pulled up. Burned, but pulled up. He smirks at Vegeta. "So

you are the legendary Prince Vegeta. I've heard a lot about you. Doesn't matter, I'll kill you and then I'll take the Dragon

Radar robot and be on my way."

Vegeta clutches his fist. This monster nearly kills his daughter after raping her, and now he claims that he will kill him and take

the Dragon Radar inside of the robot Giru. No one does this to the Vegeta bloodline. No one insults him. No one touches his

daughter. Especially the same way this creature did.

No one.

Vegeta lays Bra upon the bed as gently as he could. He then turns to Malice and powers up to Super Saiyan 2. The veins

appear in his forehead and arms. His pink "Bad Man" shirt stretches until it rips at the shoulders due to the increase of his

muscles. His tail bristles up. "We take this outside, bastard."

Malice grins. "Gladly." Malice back flips out the hole and begins to float outside the window. By the time he turns around to

face Vegeta, Vegeta has already planted his fist on Malice's face.

"I will kill you for what you did to my baby girl! I'll rip the skin off your bone and I'll grind your bones to dust!" Vegeta

screams as he delivers powerful punches into Malice's chest plate.

As Vegeta continues his assault, the only thing on Malice's mind is he wonders how much power he'll gain after he absorbs

Vegeta's life away.

_________________________________________________

Bulma turned around to hand Goten the tasting spoon to only see him run up the stairs toward the living quarters. The look of

shock on his face could have only meant one thing.

Trouble.

"Mrs. Bulma, what is wrong?" Paris fears the worst. The only time Goten looked so determined was when Goten had

battled the monster Bebi one year ago when he first arrived on Earth.

"I don't know. Stay here; I'll follow him." replies Bulma as she removes her apron and runs toward the hall, where the stairs

led up to Trunks, Bra and her and Vegeta's living quarters.

"Like hell you will go by yourself. You may need help!" replies Paris as she stands up and follows Bulma up the stairs. When

they reach the top of the stairs they watch Goten turn the corner that leads to the living quarters. After they turn the corner, they

both run into Goten who had stopped abruptly.

"Bulma… don't look." replies Goten meekly.

Bulma doesn't listen to Goten as she walks around him. Bulma's mouth drops open as she rushes to her naked daughter on the

bed. Scratch marks and blood cover her small thirteen-year-old body. Bulma grasps her daughter and gently rocks her,

tears pouring down her face.

Bra begins to stir. "Mom… mommy…"

"Oh Bra! My baby? Are you all right? What happened?" cries Bulma.

Bra begins to cry and begins to fall into hysterics. "Oh mom it hurts. I… he… I…"

"Shh. Don't say anything. Why oh why…" sobs Bulma as she continues to hug her daughter and cradle her.

Goten's fists tighten when he realizes what has happened. The odd feeling he has had for a while makes more sense. "There is

an evil energy present and Vegeta is battling it outside."

Paris notices a bundle in the corner. It is Marron. Paris gasps. She wastes no time in seeing if Marron was hurt; or raped as

well. Goten follows Paris to help lift Marron on the bed to check her injuries. In a few moments Marron begins to stir. When

her eyes open she gasps in fear as she slowly remembers Malice's face. She half expected to see Malice in front of her

whenever she awoke.

"Wha… Goten! What's going on?" asks Marron, her sweet face full of fear.

Goten growls. He is just a few seconds away from blasting into Super Saiya-jin. Yet, he refrains himself because he doesn't

wish to harm any of the girls. He closes his eyes and feels Vegeta`s chi outside battling the mysterious, evil chi, detecting how

far they are from his current position. He opens his eyes and looks over at his girlfriend.

"Paris, tell Marron what happened and get them downstairs. I am going to help Vegeta kill this bastard."

Paris nods and helps Marron out the bed. They both go over to Bulma and Bra. Goten wastes no time in leaping into the air

and going after Vegeta and the evil chi. "Where the hell is Trunks!?" Goten screams.

______________________________________________

On the outskits of West Capital City Gohan parks the air car and blasts into the air. He, Videl, and Pan sensed the battle as

soon as it began. Goten and Vegeta's chi signals are both very high, but Vegeta is the one fighting. Gohan had pulled over and

told them that he will go on ahead and do what he could to help. He also told Pan not to try anything and stay behind with Videl

and Chichi. Pan looks up after her father and sighs. "How come when all the action starts, I'm always left behind?"

Videl looks over at her daughter from behind the steering wheel. "Oh get off it Pan. Haven't you had enough action this past year? I

mean there was the traveling, Bebi, the Super Andriod #17 battle and the evil Dragons. That had to be enough for you."

Pan pouts her bottom lip. For a fourteen-year-old girl she has seen more fighting and death in one year than anything. "Well they

might need my help."

Chichi sighs. "Pan dear, they are all Super Saiya-jin. I'm pretty sure that they can handle it."

Pan growls. Her grandmother had just to remind her that she is not a Super Saiya-jin, something she has been working nonstop

trying to achieve. "Thanks for reminding me grandma." growls Pan.

Chichi glares at her granddaughter from the front. "Watch your tone lady."

Pan snaps her head around. "I just can't sit here in the car while everyone is fighting. I'm going!" screams Pan as she rolls down

the window and hopes into the air, blasting after her father who is on his way to Capsule Corp.

Videl swerves to the side of the road. She jumps out the car and screams at Pan. "Young lady get your rear back here now!"

Pan hears her mother but completely ignores her plea. Irritated, Videl kicks the car tire. Chichi remains sitting in the passenger

seat. She sighs. After all these years, how come her family always has to fight? Is it their destiny to protect the Earth? And how

come none of the children ever listen to her.

________________________________________________

Malice succeeds in blocking every attack from the enraged Vegeta. His anger is consuming him, making his fighting style

sloppy. Pitiful for an elite, trained Prince of the Saiya-jin. Malice uses this as an excellent opportunity to boost his ego.

"My my… Prince Vegeta. You fight so sloppily. Maybe all of the legends and rumors about you are lies. Maybe you only won

all those battles on luck." Malice taunts.

Vegeta snarls as he prepares a `Final Flash'. "Keep talking you pale blue bastard. The more you talk, the angrier I become.

The more angry I become, the stronger I get!" screams Vegeta over the power up.

Vegeta screams as he fires the energy toward Malice. It fires head on, heading toward Malice. Malice lifts one hand and bats

the power energy blast away from his person, sending it directly toward Capsule Corp.

__________________________________________________

Trunks shrugs and then taps the screwdriver against his temple. Never has he ever seen a project of his mothers that he could not dismantle.

And he has dismantled quite a number of them; trying to increase his knowledge of his mother's inventions. Thanks to the

insulated chi proof room, he is ignorant to the battle occurring outside Capsule Corp.

Trunks sighs, and tosses the screwdriver to the floor and heads toward the door. He hasn't eaten since 4:00pm. Trunks looks

down on his watch and sighs again. It's a little after eight. Like all Saiya-jin, he is constantly hungry. As he walks over to the

door he begins to feel uneasy; the same way he felt whenever Bebi tried to possess him earlier this year.

Trunks ignores the feeling that has overcome him and continues on his way to the door. Once it is open; he immediately wished

that he didn't, as a large fireball hits him dead on, hurling him back into the room. He crashes into the `Brute Ray' causing it to

malfunction and explode upon impact with his body.

Trunks' scream could be heard throughout West Capital City.

Thanks to his superior Saiya-jin senses Gohan picks up Trunks' scream in no time. Gohan gasps as he senses Trunks' fading

chi. He stops in mid-air and grabs Pan before she can fly by him. Pan had heard Trunks' scream as well. Who couldn't? It was

extremely loud. Gohan knew of the fighting spirit Pan had and knew she would have rushed into the battle unprepared.

Pan gasps whenever her father grabbed her hand. Oh boy. Here comes the lecture…

However, Gohan says something else. "Pan, go to Karin's tower and get some senzu beans. That's the only hope to heal

Trunks in time."

With a nod Pan blasts into overdrive to Karin's tower to get senzu beans to help Trunks.

_________________________________________________

Vegeta's grunts and re-asserts himself. Trunks didn't even have a chance to block, much less move out the way. Vegeta may not show it,

but he does care for his family. Vegeta turns back with hatred in his eyes.

"Trunks was just careless, but I'm still gonna kill you for what you did to him and my daughter!"

"Such big words coming from somebody so small. Can you back up your words O' mighty Prince of the Saiya-jin!" yells

Malice. As soon as the words leave his mouth, Malice's eyes widen in fear.

Vegeta is glowing. His eyes have gone white, and his shirt has completely disappeared off his body. His face shows an

expression of pain, but one can tell that he is not in pain. His chi begins increasing dramatically as tiny red hairs appear all over

his back and arms and his short black hair begins to grow.

"He's ascending! He has another level? How is this possible?" Malice screams. When he absorbed the energy of the

elderly Pan in the future, her memories never showed this transformation from Vegeta. But then again, her memories have

disappeared the moment he entered this time, the result of time travel.

"The moon!" Malice screams as he looks up in the moon light sky. "Saiya-jin draw energy from the moon! That's how he is

doing it! I must destroy the moon!"

Malice pulls his hands back and charges up a blast. Before he can fire, two sets of fists make contact with his back sending him

toward the ground. The blows were not strong enough to hurt him, but it still caught him off guard. He turns around to see his

attackers.

SSJ2 Gohan and SSJ Goten land on the ground, side by side. Goten screams at Malice. "You monster! I saw what you did to

Bra! If it is the last thing I do, I'll make sure you pay! She was only a child! Only thirteen!"

Gohan turns to Goten with confusion written on his face. "What? What did he do to Bra?"

Goten growls. "The bastard raped Bra. He would have gotten Marron too if Vegeta didn't catch him."

This causes Gohan to become more enraged than ever before in his life. Angrier than when he first fought Cell many years ago.

He would have ascended, but thanks to the Mystic Power-up he received when he was 18 it put a barrier on his body;

stopped his body from ever achieving a level higher than two without some serious training to break the barrier. Even now, he

has lost the Mystic power up, for he hasn't actually trained in years. He had always seen Bra as a second child, always spending

the nights with Pan. And Marron is Krillin's daughter, Krillin, his best friend and best man to his and Videl's wedding. He

cannot let this go unpunished.

The two Son brothers drop into fighting stances and put their hands together. Together they summon up the energy for a double

Kamehameha attack.

Malice wastes no time in sending a blast toward the moon, resulting in it being blown up. This causes Vegeta's transformation

to stop as he slowly drifts back to Super Saiya-jin 2. Malice turns around in time to shield himself from the attack launched by

the two Son brothers.

Malice lifts up in the hair and begins twirling around in circles firing blasts everywhere. Many fly out over the city and strikes

building, sending many into a mass of destruction. People threw out the city scream in shock and fear, fearing that the cause of

the destruction is by meteors.

They are far from the truth.
