Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Rebirth of Family ❯ Trouble at the Festival ( Chapter 9 )

Goku IT'ed himself down to the crowd, but there were too many people around to IT up to Vegeta. He could not find Vegeta's ki signature anywhere.

 

“I guess I have to do this the old fashioned way. Vegeta!” Goku began searching through the crowd, yelling Vegeta's name.

The commotion Goku was causing did not go unnoticed.

 

“What does Kakarot think he's doing? I think he knows something. Gagolla, Lommit, get over here now!”

 

Two orange-skinned aliens ran up beside her. “That oaf is going to ruin everything. Stop him,” she growled.

“Oh Vegeta, this is wonderful. I can't believe it. I'm a queen!”

 

“And I am your king. How much longer do we have to stay down here?” Vegeta had had just about enough of this civilian crowd business.

 

“Oh, come on Vegeta. It's not that bad.”

 

“Yes, it is. The only thing that would make this worse is if Kakarot was here.”

“Vegeta! Vegeta! Jesus Christ, where the hell is he?” Goku frantically searched the crowd. He had to get to Vegeta before something bad happened. “Vegeta! Vege…hey, who are you guys?”

 

Gagolla and Lommit showed up beside Goku. Gagolla was first to speak.

 

“Leiko has said that since you are now second in command, you must wear this amulet.” He handed Goku a gold chain. On this chain was a mesmerizing, crystal blue stone.

 

“Wow, this is beautiful. I can't take this, I'll probably break it.” He shoved it back into Gagolla's hands. “Excuse me, I have something important to do.”

 

Lommit jumped in. If Goku got away, Leiko would kill him. “Oh, sir, you must wear it. Here, let me put it on for you.” He grabbed Goku and violently hung it around his neck.

 

“But I…can't…have to…Vegeta…” Goku fell to the ground in a limp, lifeless heap.

 

“Good, he's out. Gotta love that amulet. Here Gagolla, help me get him to the dungeons.”

Soon, the crowd dwindled as the festival came to a close.

 

“Vegeta, we should get to bed. You have an army to form tomorrow.” Bulma was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

 

“You go on ahead Woman, I have to find Kakarot to make some plans for tomorrow.”

 

“Alright, but please don't stay up too late. I have something special planned for later.” She gave him a quick wink and was off.

 

Vegeta flew up to the balcony where Goku was supposed to be. Instead, he found Leiko.

 

“Leiko, where's Kakarot? We need to go over some things regarding the army.”

 

“I don't know Vegeta. I haven't seen him in a long time. He's probably tied up somewhere.” It took all of her self control to keep from laughing as the lie rolled off her tongue.

 

“Well, if you see the idiot, tell him he's pissed off the king and he will have to deal with it tomorrow. I'm going to bed.” Vegeta headed off down the hall to find out what Bulma had planned.

 

“Leiko watched Vegeta stride out of the room. “Now that Kakarot has been dealt with, there is nothing stopping the plan. Sleep tight Veggie-Weggie.”
