Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Intergalatic Affairs ❯ What it takes to be the legendary ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

 

In the next few weeks they developed a routine. Vegeta would train for most of the day while Alina went over the plans with Jamal and the guards and at night they would sneak into one another's rooms to be together.

 

Because of the saiyan male charm and seduction her guards were now more than willing to be part of the plan as long as they got to be with the saiyan warriors. When they were with them they felt like the most irresistible creatures in the universe, they felt like women. Under Helrit they had been just guards, little more then machines that took orders, now they could feel desire and other emotions they hadn't felt in a long time and they were loathe to give it up.

 

Nappa and Radditz didn't mind either. It was nice to have strong females who hung on their every word and longed for them. For one of the few times in their lives under Frieza they felt like real warriors, real men. Both sides wanted to keep their new found contentedness and would kill the tyrants to do it.

 

Vegeta was becoming frustrated. His training had yet to bear fruit and he was sure that soon the tyrants would get impatient and contact them before they had the chance to execute the plan. He tried everything; he even spent two whole days out on Ebonkyrsta training so that Alina couldn't be a tempting distraction.

 

Meanwhile Alina worried for him. She wanted to help him, but when it came to his training she couldn't help him. She only caused him more trouble, by distracting him. He had become more irritable because of not being able to reach legendary as easily as he wanted. On this particular day he was off training on a deserted part of Ebonkyrsta and Alina was having lunch with Lord Jamal.

 

She couldn't concentrate on the food or the conversation her thoughts were so full of how to help Vegeta.

 

Lord Jamal noticed her lack of attention. He smirked and continued to speak. “Well your behavior is understandable, what with Vegeta being off training. You must miss him.”

 

Alina's head shot up and her mouth hung open. “How did you know?” She asked astonished putting a hand to her chest in a gesture of surprise. They had kept their relationship secret she even wore scarves, shawls, and high neck clothes to hide his mating mark. How could he know?

 

Jamal gave a slight chuckle. “I'm not a fool Alina, the way you and Vegeta look at one another makes it obvious. I just can't see how you could fall in love with a man like him?”

 

Alina smiled softly. “I know he can be rather brutish and arrogant sometimes, but it's just a mask. I know the true Vegeta and that's why I love him.” She looked down into her lap and fiddled with her hands shyly.

 

Lord Jamal smiled. “The power of true love is really very amazing.” He said to himself. “Is there anything I can do to help?” He asked.

 

Alina gave a long sigh. “I don't know. Vegeta is trying to reach super saiyan, but he can't find out what the trigger is. I remember father telling me a story when I was young about how saiyans who could become super saiyans had something that none of the others did. Emotion, but I don't how to give Vegeta that.”

 

Lord Jamal scratched his chin in thought for a moment. “Does he show emotion around you?” Alina nodded. Lord Jamal's eyes narrowed in deep thought and he stood abruptly. “Follow me. “ He said hurriedly as he walked briskly out of the room. Alina followed him down the hall and up the stairs to a room with a black door. She felt the hair on the back of her neck as she stepped into the room behind Jamal.

 

It was an older looking room with lots of odd books and jars on dozens of shelves and other strange knick knacks lining the walls.

 

Jamal skimmed along a book shelf and quickly pulled out a book and plopped it down on a podium in the center of the room next to a large black cauldron. Alina reached out and ran her hand along the cold black rim of the cauldron. “What is all this?” She asked a little apprehensive.

 

Jamal didn't answer as he flipped through the pages of the book. “Ah ha!” He shouted when he found what he wanted. He read the page before hurrying around the room picking up different jars and bringing them to the cauldron.

 

“What are you doing?” Alina asked once again more insistently.

 

Jamal looked up as he started to put things into the cauldron. “I dabble in voodoo and witchcraft. I think I have a way to help Vegeta reach super saiyan.”

 

Alina was astounded, but excited that Jamal could help. She watched as he carefully mixed the potion and read over the spell in the book. “Now for the final ingredient I need a lock of your hair.” He said.

 

Alina was still apprehensive about this, but she pulled out a strand of her hair and gave it to him. “What will this do?” She whispered before he tossed the strands in the cauldron.

 

“It's called the illusion potion. It will make Vegeta see things. They won't be real, but he will think they are.” Jamal explained.

 

Alina was still slightly confused, but she watched carefully as Jamal dropped her hair into the cauldron and began to chant. She could suddenly see Vegeta in the cauldron he was out training hard as usual.

 

Vegeta had just thrown a punch destroying a large black crystal protrusion. He growled. This wasn't getting him anywhere. He was about to blow up a nearby rock formation when a wave of dizziness came over him and he felt a strange compulsion to look behind him. He turned around and he saw Alina watching him with an approving smile on her face.

 

He instantly smiled back. “Alina what are you doing out here?” Before she could answer Vegeta saw a tall well dressed man with short loose hanging black hair and large glasses. He was followed by several guards.

 

Alina saw him too, but when she did her smile disappeared and she sucked in her breath. She bowed before the man stiffly and formally. She looked as though she were about to speak, but the man spoke first. “I know what you've been up to Alina. Treason is punishable by long and painful death and you know it!” He said evenly, but with a sardonic tone that made him sound like an angry snake.

 

Alina's face fell and Vegeta saw the fear run through her eyes and her pale skin turn almost translucent.

 

Then Frieza walked up beside Helrit and smirked evilly at her. Vegeta growled. “Allow me Lord Helrit. Torture is a forte of mine.” Alina gasped and stepped back.

 

“No! Don't touch her!” Vegeta roared! He ran towards them only to see them move farther away. He was angry and confused.

 

He was forced to watch as Helrit's men took hold of Alina. She struggled as best she could, but Vegeta knew she was not physically strong. Helrit clicked his tongue chastising her.

 

“I never should have trusted her.” He said to Frieza.

 

Frieza gave a dark chuckle and snorted. “Helrit you really need to keep your advisors in check. I mean fraternizing with a saiyan. That's the lowest kind of rubbish.”

 

Vegeta growled and tried hard to reach Alina, but the closer he got the farther away they seemed to move.

 

“Well you should have killed him sooner before his treachery infected my advisor!” Helrit snapped.

 

Alina's eyes shot open and she stopped struggling. “No!” She shouted. “Vegeta! No!” She howled her knees buckling at the thought of losing her mate. As they did Frieza lit into her. Beating her into a pulp much the way he had beat Vegeta all those times.

 

“NO! STOP!” Vegeta called still trying desperately to reach them. He had to save Alina.

 

Vegeta was forced to watch his beloved being beaten to a bloody and broken pulp before his very eyes. His anger grew and grew as Frieza continued to assault her. Finally Vegeta heard a loud crack and Alina stopped moving and her head fell forward. Not even her chest rose and fell to show her breath. Frieza had killed her…

 

Vegeta's heart pounded so loud that it vibration was felt through every nook and cranny of his body. His eyes were wide with shock and pain stabbed through him like a thousand knives being thrust into him.

 

She couldn't be dead, she couldn't be. His mind stopped and his heart took over. He barely felt the power surge through him and with a scream his hair turned gold blonde and his eyes became turquoise. With his new power he was able to reach Alina, but when he did it all disappeared and Vegeta was left in super saiyan form and was very confused.

 

The haze lifted from his head and suddenly the world was completely clear.

 

Alina watched the whole episode in the cauldron and her eyes were brimmed with tears and she had pleaded with Jamal to make the torment stop for Vegeta, but when he turned super saiyan Alina was so touched she couldn't speak. He looked magnificent and he had reached super saiyan because he wanted to save her.

 

Vegeta looked up in the direction of the castle and was overcome with the urge to check on Alina. He flew at top speed to reach the castle and by the time he reached the castle Alina was standing on the outside balcony waiting for him. When Vegeta saw her his heart began to beat again and he rushed to pull her into his arms. He held her head to his heart and just felt her. He wanted to be sure she was alive. Alina smiled into his chest. She was so happy that he had reached legendary and she was eager to make his illusions and fears disappear.

 

He looked down at her and his fear still sparkled in his eyes, but as he held her it slowly began to dissipate. “Oh thank the gods you're alive! I had a vision of some kind and it was horrible!”

 

Alina smiled reassuring him that she was fine with a deep kiss. Then she pulled back and caressed his face lovingly. “Vegeta you are a super saiyan.” She whispered.

 

Vegeta had yet to realize it and he looked down at himself not really noticing the new golden aura that surrounded him. Alina giggled and reached up to touch his stiff golden hair. Vegeta grinned when he realized she was right and he pulled her into another kiss. “You! You are the secret to me becoming the legendary!” He said excitedly pulling her tightly to him. He wiped away the happy tears from her face and kissed her again. Alina giggled into the kiss.

 

“I love you so much, my strong and handsome Prince.” She whispered. “You'll never lose me.”

 

Vegeta leaned down to her ear and whispered. “I'll make sure of it. No one will hurt you ever again.” Then he licked her ear and picked her up bridal style carrying her to his room while still in super saiyan form.
