Chapter 2
Vegeta's Betrayal
Vosha stood in front of the water filled tank that held her mate inside. She didn't look very pleased about the whole situation. She stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at Radits. Her short brown hair went slightly in front of her brown eyes and her tail rapped around her slim waist. "How could you guys let this happen?"
"Hey don't look at me... I wasn't even here!" Bulma replied to her defense.
"You can't blame them Vosha, it wasn't their fault" Android 16 said to her.
"We need to find that wild monkey that's out on the streets before he causes more trouble" 17 said with a smug attitude.
"Watch it robot" Vosha scathed as she stepped up to him. "Keh" He huffed as he leaned on the wall.
Bulma checked on Radits's vital signs one last time before she headed for the door. "I need to go fix the 3rd and 4th power generators right now. I could use some help moving some things 18" she said as she left the room. Android 18 pushed some stray golden hairs behind her ear and followed Bulma out to the other half of the building, feeling like there was nothing else to do.
Once she got to the power generators, her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. "Repair? He can't be serious, not even I can repair this!" she exclaimed as she looked at the busted machines. "No, I suppose you're right, which is why I ordered new ones this afternoon" Dr. Briefs said as he entered the room.
"Oh hey dad, I really need to talk to you! 18 can you take these out back with all the other wasted machinery?" Bulma asked as she pointed at the useless power generators before turning back to her father. 18 hovered in the air, easily lifting both incredibly large machines, and flew off.
"Is something wrong?" Dr. Briefs asked as he looked at his daughter.
She dragged him off by his arm far away from any ears that could possibly listen in on them. "It's about Vegeta... I know where he is!" Dr. Briefs looked at his daughter in shock. "How could you possibly-"
"Long story short, I found him unconscious in the river by my house, he's in one of my guest beds at the moment. I just found out this morning who he was!" She paused a moment as she tapped her finger on her chin. "No wait, that's pretty much the whole story"
He looked at her very seriously. "He could still be dangerous Bulma, I don't think it's a good idea to keep him in your house"
"First of all, he's out cold, he's not going anywhere fast. I wouldn't be surprised if he had memory loss when he wakes up. Second of all, where else is there? We both know I'm the most suitable person in Capsle Corp. to take care of him medically. Also it's not like you can keep him here with you, we need to keep this on the low. Lucky for you I found him before someone else did! You know that they also announced that there is a price on his head? He's wanted Dead or Alive!"
"You're right dear, you're always right" Dr. Briefs sighed, knowing there was no arguing with her.
"I know" She smiled at him.
"We shouldn't talk about this here. Can we finish this conversation later tonight at your house?"
"That's fine with me" Bulma said as she walked away to check up on Goku and Turles. She mentally sighed, she knew she was going to be very busy for the next few weeks. Yet when she walked into the hospital wing where Goku and Turles were being held, she felt somewhat better. They were already up and about, looking like they could help fix the place up by tomorrow. Goku was up in his bed, struggling as Turles tried to hold him down so Chi-chi could give him a shot.
"Come now Kakarot! Your the strongest fighter in the world! Stop being a pansy and take the fucking shot already!" Turles yelled, having trouble holding his twin brother down. "Goku, if you just take the shot, Chi and I will take you out to eat later" Bulma said, causing him to turn his attention to her. "Now!"
Chi-chi slid the needle into his flesh and emptied the contents of the tube. "Ouch! Hey that wasn't very... oh pretty lights" Goku dazed before falling over on his pillow fast asleep. "It gets harder every time I swear!" Chichi sighed, setting the needle down and already preparing another one for him. "We are good here Bulma, I'll see you later for dinner" She said as she flicked the tube while squirting a bit of the contents on the floor.
"Thanks Chi-chi" Bulma said as she left to go help her father with some paper work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You've done allot today Bulma, go take the rest of the night off, we are fine here now" Dr. Briefs said as he entered the room she was doing paper work in. She looked past her piles of paper and to the clock which read 5:37pm. "Yeah, I promised Goku I would take him out to eat. I guess I'll see you tonight, say at 8:00?"
"That's fine with me. We have much to discuss"
"Yes... I suppose we do" (long awkward pause) "Well, I'm gonna go now. See you tonight" She gathered her things, gave her father a quick hug, and walked out of the door. She was walking down the dark, quiet hall when Goku popped out of no where. "Are you ready to go?"
Bulma shrieked, her hand clutching her chest. "Jesus Goku, you scared the hell out of me! I can't believe you're so... awake!"
"Yeah... ummm anyway, Let's go, Chi is waiting for us"
"Right... where would you like to go?"
"The all you can eat buffet of course! Chi-chi is waiting for us there"
"I'm fine with that, just remember this time that an all you can eat buffet DOES NOT mean you can eat it all!"
"Yeah, Yeah. Chi-chi has already scolded me enough for that. I don't need to hear it from you. I mean, if it's all you can eat and you HAPPEN to be able to eat it all... well then they need more food" They walked out the door and were surprised to see that most of the news reporters were still there. They immediately ran up to them and surrounded Goku with questions.
"Goku! Is it true that project 14 defeated you in battle?!"
"Some people think you let him leave. What do you have to say in response?
"Excuse me Goku! Is there a way that you can find project 14?"
"If you find him, are you certain you can beat him?"
"PEOPLE!!!! This is Goku! He's saved this planet and ALL your lives on MANY OCCASIONS! He's a Hero!" Bulma screamed at them, not believing the questions they were asking. She had absolutely no patients for news reporters right now.
"It's ok Bulma. Vegeta got me once but I wont let him get to me again. I did not let him leave, Radits, Turles and myself all tried to stop him. He was a pretty good fighter. I can't sense Vegeta's life force at the moment, I suppose he is pretty tired from the fight. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm hungry!" he said as he grabbed Bulma and flew to the restraunt to meet Chi-chi.
Once they got there and were shown their tables, Bulma quickly got her food and ate as fast as she could without looking sloppy. She just wanted to get home. Unlike Goku, who just ate really fast and sloppy cause, well, lets face it, that's Goku. Chi-chi was use to Goku eating like a pig, but she noticed how fast Bulma was gobbling up her food as well. "Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?" Chi-chi asked her with her eye brow perked up.
Bulma looked up to her from her plate and slurped up the noodles that were left hanging from her mouth. She gave her a goofy smile, "Heh, Yeah, ummm I gotta go as a matter of fact. Here's the money to pay for it, see you guys later" Bulma said as she left the money on the table and left the restraunt to get home.
"Well... that was strange"
"Mawfe kee haf a bate" Goku tried to speak through his mouth full of food.
"What?"
Goku swallowed all the food in his mouth with one hard gulp and cleared his throat. "I said maybe she had a date"
"Ehhh I don't think so... I mean she just broke up with Yamcha like a week ago. I think that's why her dad gave her that vacation"
When Goku had finally finished eating, Chi-chi left the money on the table and they headed out of the restraunt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Bulma got home, she went straight upstairs to check on Vegeta. She sighed happily when she got in his room and looked upon his sleeping face. She enjoyed his company even though he was just sleeping. She couldn't help but wonder what he was like. She found herself staring at him for a very long time before the sound of the doorbell snapped her out of her daze. "It can't be 8:00 already!" she exclaimed as she looked to her watch which read 7:45.
"Wow... how the time passes when your staring at beautiful men" she mentally laughed before greeting her father in the living room. "Hey dad"
He stood up and walked next to her. "Hey Bulma, I brought some medical equipment and sedations for Project 14.
"Can I see him?" he asked, getting right to the point.
"Sure, he's upstairs"
She lead him up the stairs and to Vegeta's room. He went right up to him, examining him carefully. "Wow, that fight with Goku really took it out of him" he said as he pulled out more supplies, checking his heart beat and pulse. Once he was finished examining him, he turned back to Bulma with a serious expression on his face.
"I think Goku should move in with you until we are sure Project 14 wont become hostile when he wakes up"
"Oh come on dad! It's not like-"
"I know, I know. Just... please? Do it for me if not for your own protection"
"I suppose it couldn't hurt. After all, Goku isn't such bad company"
"Thank you" he smiled at her, "He'll come back from Capsle corp. with you. I'm sure he wont mind"
"Well, it's getting late. I'll see you tomorrow"
"Good night Bulma" He said as he walked out of the house to drive home.
Bulma turned back to Vegeta as soon as her dad walked out the door, getting out an empty shot to draw blood. She had work of her own to do, to serve her own curiosity. She didn't need to use anything to make his veins show, they were pretty visible on his arm. She easily slid the needle in his arm and filled the tube with his blood. Once it was full, she took it out of him and went straight downstairs to study it in her lab.
So many questions were in her mind, such as, what chemical could possibly make him reject the treatment so harshly? She put a few drops under the telescope and studied it. At first, she couldn't see anything in it, except small traces of the chemical that Capsle Corp. had injected him with. She focused it more and more until she finally saw it. It was like nothing she had ever seen before (except maybe a few pictures of it while at work), defiantly something that wasn't originally in his blood or put there by Capsle Corp. It was doing strange things in the mix with his blood and the treatment, yet she noticed that it was fading, the chemical wasn't so strong as the pictures she had seen of it.
"This is good! The chemical is dying!" She called up her father's cell phone right away.
"Hello?"
"Hey dad, it's me"
"Oh hey, something you forgot to tell me?"
"No, I have something important to tell you"
"What is it?"
"The chemical in Vegeta's blood is dying out. Soon, it will be completely out of his system. I think Freeza used this to take us off track, like a bomb he knew we would take in. Anyways, what i'm saying is that when he wakes up, it wont be like last time. Yet, we don't know anything about him"
"He could be an aggressive Saiya-jin. Though, this is very good news Bulma. It means we can continue to give Project 14 the treatment once it is out of his system!"
That pushed a couple of Bulma's buttons. "Ok, first of all, can we drop the Project 14 crap?! He has a name you know! Also, are you really prepared to give him the treatment so soon?! I don't think that's a very smart idea" She huffed.
"Oh no, not soon. It will be a while before we can get the government to agree with that. Also, we can't tell anyone about this for a while"
"I agree with that, anyway I just thought that was something you would want to know"
"Yes, thank you very much Bulma. You should get some sleep now, it's really REALLY late" Dr. breifs said as he checked his watch which read 3:17am. "You're right. Good night father" She said before haning up the phone. She decided to check on Vegeta one last time before going to bed. As she stood in the doorway looking at him, she knew she was being ridiculous. There was no need to check on him so often, he probably wont wake up for a while.
There was no way to be sure of this of course, which she would tell herself as an excuse to see him. She had to admit to herself that he was extremely handsom, and he looked so... dark and mysterious.
She walked up to the bed and sat on the edge of it, staring down at his face. She wondered so much what he was like, why did Freeza not want him bad enough to do this to him, after all, he was a pretty good fighter. Maybe he turned against Freeza, maybe Freeza was just that much of an asshole. She'll only know for sure when he wakes up.
She brushed her hand on his face beside the cut above his eye that was already healing itself. Saiya-jins heal allot faster than humans as well, because they are stronger. She found herself once again staring at him before she snapped herself out of it and got up to bed, turning off the lights on her way out.

Flashback...
"My faithful warriors, the time has come! Time for a new age! The universe will be connected, and it will be mine!" Freeza shouted to his army.
Vegeta forced his way through the crowed of howling aliens from all over the galaxy, all of which were followers of his lord Freeza. Vegeta was sick of it all, sick of bowing to the likes of him. He was no god like he pretended to be, yet Vegeta still did his bidding because of his strength and power. He use to tell Nappa that the day would soon come where they wouldn't bow to Freeza anymore. He hadn't seen Nappa since Freeza sent him on the mission close to earth's solar system, which was at least a year ago. Earth seemed to be Freeza's cause of annoyances as of late. For all he knew, he WAS the last of his proud Saiya-jin race.
Freeza had told him that an asteroid hit the planet, destroying almost all of his kind while he was on another mission as a child. He knew better than that of course. He knew Freeza was behind it, and he swore he would get revenge someday. That day was today. This was his moment of triumph. He was going to kill Freeza in front of his entire army and then he planned to kill them all. He refused to be used as a tool for his war. He had been training for a very long time for this, and now it was time.
His eyes never left Freeza's small form as he approached the thrown that he sat upon. As he stood in front of Freeza, all the crowed seemed to shut up, they all knew that Vegeta was the second strongest... right next to Freeza.
"Is there something you have on your mind Vegeta?" He asked as he looked at Vegeta expectantly.
"Yeah, I got something to tell you! I have something to tell ALL OF YOU!" Vegeta said as he flew in the air with his hands above his head, getting everyone's attention.
"Lord Freeza is right!!!! THE TIME HAS COME! Today is the day!!" Freeza sat up straight in his seat, getting extremely excited of Vegeta's odd behavior, wondering what he could possibly be talking about.
"All of you, you serve Lord Freeza for what? Because you are weak!!! Because he is stronger than you!! Well, I have had enough! THE DAY HAS COME FOR YOU ALL TO DIE!!!!" he shouted as held one of his hands in the air, energy quickly forming in the palm of his hand. This energy ball grew as huge as a small moon as he threw it into the crowd, killing millions of screaming voices.
His rage grew to its peak when he heard Freeza laughing wickedly behind him. He turned around and decided that he wanted to shut him up for good. "Well, well, well, I always wondered when this day would come. It really is a shame though Vegeta, to lose such a strong warrior. We wont be the same without you" Freeza smirked.
"I'll be sure to write that on your gravestone!" Vegeta said as yet another blue ball of energy began to form in his hand. "The only place you will rule is hell!" he shouted as he threw the ball right at Freeza's face. Freeza laughed as he easily caught the small blue ball in his hand and made it disappear. He turned his head up to Vegeta and was surprised when thousands of small blue energy balls came rushing at him.
He screamed in power as a shield surrounded him, blocking him from all Vegeta's wrath. Vegeta breathed heavily after throwing the last one. He couldn't believe this guy still wasn't dead! He knew Freeza was strong, but this was ridiculous. All of Freeza's army continued to watch... there were still millions left alive in the crowd, Freeza had allot of followers.
Vegeta's eyes widened as Freeza disappeared in front of him and came out of no where, easily knocking him out from behind. Freeza hovered above Vegeta's unconscious body and talked to his crowd once again. "THIS is what happens to those who betray me! Let this be a lesson to those of you who feel the same way! Anyone who turns on me will be killed!" The crowd screamed and howled in victory, chanting "KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"
Freeza grinned at his children of war. "No, I will not kill him" (some of the crowd gave disappointed groans, clearly unhappy to hear that) "I have a better use for him. Some of you may know that the earth has been trying to use very few Saiya-jins and turn them into super beings to fight against me. Let us give them a taste of their own medicine. Dradoria!"
"Yes sire"
"Give him our new medication 218 and throw him on a space pod close to earth. Let them find him" Freeza laughed wickedly as the crowd shouted in happiness.
Dradoria approached Freeza and leaned close to him. "Your Majesty, we don't even know if that medication will work. Then they will end up getting one of our strongest fighters!"
"I have no doubt it will work, and then I will kill Vegeta myself if they do not. Now go, and do not question me again"
"Yes your majesty"
End Flashback...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bulma watched as Vegeta screwed his face in pain and struggled in his sleep. She was very interested, this was his first movement she had ever seen. She wondered what he could be dreaming about that would make him toss and turn like he was. She knew what this could mean. He could wake up soon, he could wake up any time now. It was possible now that he could wake up right there. Yet as she waited and waited, he didn't. She would spend hours in Vegeta's room doing work, but not leaving because she thought he would wake up. As the days passed on, he never did. Goku would come in and keep her company allot. She did allot of work at home for these days. Before she knew it, a week had passed by.
Goku let out a loud yawn, making Bulma snap back into reality from thinking so hard. "I'm going to bed B, You shouldn't worry so much about him, you'll get wrinkles" Goku snickered. "Urgh!" Bulma groaned as she threw a pillow from Vegeta's bed at him. He laughed as it hit him in the head. "Good night B"
"Heh, good night Goku"

"Thank you" he smiled at her, "He'll come back from Capsle corp. with you. I'm sure he wont mind"
"Well, it's getting late. I'll see you tomorrow"
"Good night Bulma" He said as he walked out of the house to drive home.

"No, I have something important to tell you"
"What is it?"
"The chemical in Vegeta's blood is dying out. Soon, it will be completely out of his system. I think Freeza used this to take us off track, like a bomb he knew we would take in. Anyways, what i'm saying is that when he wakes up, it wont be like last time. Yet, we don't know anything about him"
"He could be an aggressive Saiya-jin. Though, this is very good news Bulma. It means we can continue to give Project 14 the treatment once it is out of his system!"
That pushed a couple of Bulma's buttons. "Ok, first of all, can we drop the Project 14 crap?! He has a name you know! Also, are you really prepared to give him the treatment so soon?! I don't think that's a very smart idea" She huffed.
"Oh no, not soon. It will be a while before we can get the government to agree with that. Also, we can't tell anyone about this for a while"
"I agree with that, anyway I just thought that was something you would want to know"
"Yes, thank you very much Bulma. You should get some sleep now, it's really REALLY late" Dr. breifs said as he checked his watch which read 3:17am. "You're right. Good night father" She said before haning up the phone. She decided to check on Vegeta one last time before going to bed. As she stood in the doorway looking at him, she knew she was being ridiculous. There was no need to check on him so often, he probably wont wake up for a while.
There was no way to be sure of this of course, which she would tell herself as an excuse to see him. She had to admit to herself that he was extremely handsom, and he looked so... dark and mysterious.
She walked up to the bed and sat on the edge of it, staring down at his face. She wondered so much what he was like, why did Freeza not want him bad enough to do this to him, after all, he was a pretty good fighter. Maybe he turned against Freeza, maybe Freeza was just that much of an asshole. She'll only know for sure when he wakes up.
She brushed her hand on his face beside the cut above his eye that was already healing itself. Saiya-jins heal allot faster than humans as well, because they are stronger. She found herself once again staring at him before she snapped herself out of it and got up to bed, turning off the lights on her way out.

Flashback...
"My faithful warriors, the time has come! Time for a new age! The universe will be connected, and it will be mine!" Freeza shouted to his army.
Vegeta forced his way through the crowed of howling aliens from all over the galaxy, all of which were followers of his lord Freeza. Vegeta was sick of it all, sick of bowing to the likes of him. He was no god like he pretended to be, yet Vegeta still did his bidding because of his strength and power. He use to tell Nappa that the day would soon come where they wouldn't bow to Freeza anymore. He hadn't seen Nappa since Freeza sent him on the mission close to earth's solar system, which was at least a year ago. Earth seemed to be Freeza's cause of annoyances as of late. For all he knew, he WAS the last of his proud Saiya-jin race.
Freeza had told him that an asteroid hit the planet, destroying almost all of his kind while he was on another mission as a child. He knew better than that of course. He knew Freeza was behind it, and he swore he would get revenge someday. That day was today. This was his moment of triumph. He was going to kill Freeza in front of his entire army and then he planned to kill them all. He refused to be used as a tool for his war. He had been training for a very long time for this, and now it was time.
His eyes never left Freeza's small form as he approached the thrown that he sat upon. As he stood in front of Freeza, all the crowed seemed to shut up, they all knew that Vegeta was the second strongest... right next to Freeza.
"Is there something you have on your mind Vegeta?" He asked as he looked at Vegeta expectantly.
"Yeah, I got something to tell you! I have something to tell ALL OF YOU!" Vegeta said as he flew in the air with his hands above his head, getting everyone's attention.
"Lord Freeza is right!!!! THE TIME HAS COME! Today is the day!!" Freeza sat up straight in his seat, getting extremely excited of Vegeta's odd behavior, wondering what he could possibly be talking about.
"All of you, you serve Lord Freeza for what? Because you are weak!!! Because he is stronger than you!! Well, I have had enough! THE DAY HAS COME FOR YOU ALL TO DIE!!!!" he shouted as held one of his hands in the air, energy quickly forming in the palm of his hand. This energy ball grew as huge as a small moon as he threw it into the crowd, killing millions of screaming voices.
His rage grew to its peak when he heard Freeza laughing wickedly behind him. He turned around and decided that he wanted to shut him up for good. "Well, well, well, I always wondered when this day would come. It really is a shame though Vegeta, to lose such a strong warrior. We wont be the same without you" Freeza smirked.
"I'll be sure to write that on your gravestone!" Vegeta said as yet another blue ball of energy began to form in his hand. "The only place you will rule is hell!" he shouted as he threw the ball right at Freeza's face. Freeza laughed as he easily caught the small blue ball in his hand and made it disappear. He turned his head up to Vegeta and was surprised when thousands of small blue energy balls came rushing at him.
He screamed in power as a shield surrounded him, blocking him from all Vegeta's wrath. Vegeta breathed heavily after throwing the last one. He couldn't believe this guy still wasn't dead! He knew Freeza was strong, but this was ridiculous. All of Freeza's army continued to watch... there were still millions left alive in the crowd, Freeza had allot of followers.
Vegeta's eyes widened as Freeza disappeared in front of him and came out of no where, easily knocking him out from behind. Freeza hovered above Vegeta's unconscious body and talked to his crowd once again. "THIS is what happens to those who betray me! Let this be a lesson to those of you who feel the same way! Anyone who turns on me will be killed!" The crowd screamed and howled in victory, chanting "KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"
Freeza grinned at his children of war. "No, I will not kill him" (some of the crowd gave disappointed groans, clearly unhappy to hear that) "I have a better use for him. Some of you may know that the earth has been trying to use very few Saiya-jins and turn them into super beings to fight against me. Let us give them a taste of their own medicine. Dradoria!"
"Yes sire"
"Give him our new medication 218 and throw him on a space pod close to earth. Let them find him" Freeza laughed wickedly as the crowd shouted in happiness.
Dradoria approached Freeza and leaned close to him. "Your Majesty, we don't even know if that medication will work. Then they will end up getting one of our strongest fighters!"
"I have no doubt it will work, and then I will kill Vegeta myself if they do not. Now go, and do not question me again"
"Yes your majesty"
End Flashback...

Bulma watched as Vegeta screwed his face in pain and struggled in his sleep. She was very interested, this was his first movement she had ever seen. She wondered what he could be dreaming about that would make him toss and turn like he was. She knew what this could mean. He could wake up soon, he could wake up any time now. It was possible now that he could wake up right there. Yet as she waited and waited, he didn't. She would spend hours in Vegeta's room doing work, but not leaving because she thought he would wake up. As the days passed on, he never did. Goku would come in and keep her company allot. She did allot of work at home for these days. Before she knew it, a week had passed by.
Goku let out a loud yawn, making Bulma snap back into reality from thinking so hard. "I'm going to bed B, You shouldn't worry so much about him, you'll get wrinkles" Goku snickered. "Urgh!" Bulma groaned as she threw a pillow from Vegeta's bed at him. He laughed as it hit him in the head. "Good night B"
"Heh, good night Goku"
