Chapter 2
Vegeta woke with a start, slightly frightened by a nightmare that had taken place in his mind. He remained in the same position as the night before Raditz sleeping soundly, and still holding him close.
Vegeta ran his fingers lightly across Raditz's face; he was so peaceful and defenseless in his sleep. Vegeta lifted his fingers, Getting ready to let them slide in one last stroke down the face of his mate, before Raditz's eyes opened. Vegeta was startled, taking a deep breath as Raditz gripped Vegeta's hand and smiled, “good morning your majesty!”
Vegeta grinned slightly “yah, good morning” he said with a tone that hinted just a bit of happiness. Raditz touched his lips to Vegeta's; the two able to feel each other's warm breath. Raditz pulled Vegeta close and gripped Vegeta's tail with his own. He could feel Raditz's presence strong, it surging through him with every beat of his powerful heart.
Vegeta lay back against a pillow thinking of what just happened, and if Frieza were ever to find out that he and Raditz were together. Vegeta looked to Raditz, before standing and stepping outside his door for some semi fresh air, seeing Nappa immerge from his own room.
“Morning sir, sleep well?”
Vegeta nodded, though he truly didn't. Zarbon, who was passing down the hall, looked at the two of them; “we're landing on one of Frieza's planets soon, why don't you get your useless asses dressed and go to the control room?”
Vegeta just wanted to deck him, but resisted the urge. When Zarbon continued down the hall, Nappa flipped him off behind his back. Walked outside as well, seeing Zarbon a ways down the hall, “what the hell did he want?”
“Apparently we're landing soon” Nappa replied. Raditz nodded, stepping into his bedroom to get dressed.
A few hours passed before Frieza's ship landed on one of the planets Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz had taken over. It was called `Klopax' and was actually very pretty. Vegeta and the others really had no concept of beauty, they didn't care about scenery, just about getting the job done fast.
Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz followed close behind Zarbon and Frieza, feeling the cool breeze blow against them. Frieza had a base built in the middle of what was once a radiant and beautiful forest. The trees on this planet were black, with red and orange shining leaves. The grass was white, and tons of black, pink, red, and purple wildflowers once grew here, but thanks to Frieza this was no more.
The people who once lived here peacefully were in slaved, all in a day's work for the three sayjins. They entered the giant base, the walls made of an alloy found on this planet which was stronger than titanium, and there were seven tall stories, making the two giant towers on the very top seem to touch the heavens.
Vegeta was still curious to know why they were here, why they'd made this unexpected stop. Raditz grinned slightly as he looked around, taking a deep breath of the crisp autumn air. He'd been wanting out of that damn humid ship for a while now.
The five of them walked past the giant metal doors that swung open before them. Apparently Frieza was just seeing how things were doing because he punched some little undeserving little slave kid in the back and smiled “I like what you guys have done with the place!”
All his soldiers fell to their knees before him, one rather tall one saying, “yes sir Frieza, we hoped you would.” He then reached in his pocket and pulled out an apple sized chunk of gold, holding it out to Frieza, “this, it's very valuable on a planet called `Earth', I hear you're going there.”
Frieza took the gold into one hand, smiling, and shoving it into Vegeta's stomach, knocking the wind out of him, “I'm not.” The soldier smiled, “how long will you be with us master Frieza?”
Frieza shrugged, “as long as I want.” The soldier nodded, standing and holding out his arm at his side, “as you wish sir.” Frieza walked past him, starring at the many things that were going on. Vegeta just picked a shaded corner and sat, closing his eyes tiredly. Nappa stood at Vegeta's left, and Raditz sat at Vegeta's right.
Zarbon was never far from Frieza; he was sort of Frieza's bodyguard and watched everyone around like a hawk. Raditz nudged Vegeta's cheek with his nose, “what's wrong your majesty?”
“Nothing Raditz.”
“Something's wrong! Or else you wouldn't look so sad, it's like-”
“Hold your tongue Raditz!” Vegeta growled, “I said nothing's wrong!” Raditz nodded, “forgive me mi-lord.” Nappa shook his head and smiled at Raditz's stupidity, knowing Raditz was pretty daring to question his prince. Even though they no longer lived on planet Vegeta but the two respected him like they did, he was the prince.
Nappa was a fairly silent person, he didn't usually speak unless he was spoken to, and it was just the way he was raised. Vegeta was different, the way he was raised, he could do whatever the hell he wanted whenever the hell he wanted and no one but his father could do anything about it.
That was one thing that made working for Frieza suck so bad, Frieza was now the one in control, and Vegeta had no say in anything. He was horribly homesick; he wanted nothing more than to return to his dark and powerful planet, not knowing that truly Frieza had destroyed it.
None of them knew that bitter truth. The view outside was bright, as it was mid afternoon, a strong breeze blowing against the white grass. Vegeta gritted his teeth, trying to ignore the chaotic mixture of loud machinery and slaves being beat.
