Chapter 4
 
The five of them had boarded Frieza's ship early the next morning. Apparently everything was in order, and Frieza had no further business here at the main Klopax base his soldiers had built for him. Raditz pulled a dark red shining leaf from a black stemmed bush and stepped onto the ship, Nappa and Vegeta behind him.
Again they would enter that damn ship, and travel in a viewless universe for months at a time. Nothing to really look forward to.
Vegeta was restless for some reason, he usually was calm and kept to himself, but right now he was pacing the halls. Frieza, Zarbon at his side, was mocking Vegeta as they passed him, purposely loud enough for him to hear. Vegeta whipped around and yelled, “shut the fuck up Frieza!”
Frieza turned around, eyes narrowing, “what was that?” Vegeta showed no fear in his black eyes, “I said shut your mouth you asshole!” Frieza walked toward Vegeta and could sense no fear; this pissed him off. Frieza socked Vegeta in the stomach, sending him to his knees. Vegeta leapt up, lunging at Frieza with his fist back.
Frieza didn't move out of the way, just swiftly grabbed Vegeta's neck with one hand, and Vegeta's fist with his other hand, throwing him to the ground and spraining his arm as he bent it painfully backward. Vegeta growled in pain and stupidly tried to attack Frieza once more.
Vegeta found himself on the ground for the third time, and he didn't even get a single hit. His arm throbbed in pain, but the worst hurt of all was his seriously damaged pride. But for what he'd just done, he sort of deserved this. Frieza laughed hysterically, Zarbon chiming in, and everyone else who'd been watching.
Frieza walked up to Vegeta, putting one foot on the back of Vegeta's head. It took every ounce of his being not to shed tears, he couldn't, not before this damn all ruling tyrant who would only take what shards of pride remained in Vegeta and destroy them if he did so.
Frieza took a few steps back, Zarbon continuing his painful ridicule, and the two of them walked away laughing. Vegeta gritted his teeth and stood with what little energy he had left. The soldiers in the control room got back to their work, Vegeta staggering to his room.
He slammed the door shut, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall the way he always did, his whole arm burning in pain. He didn't care how badly his arm hurt, slamming his head against the wall as tears flowed from his eyes. Why was it he, prince of sayjins who had to suffer this torture? Everything he endured such as this made him feel stronger, like, Frieza was trying to smash all happiness that ever dwelled in Vegeta's heart, to kill every feeling of content in him to a point that he'd never feel good again.
Vegeta stayed that way for almost an hour, thinking of how this `warrior' Frieza was turning him into would one-day turn on him, and kill him. He could only imagine grinding Frieza into the dust and getting revenge for all these years he'd suffered as Frieza's slave.
He could hear the voice of Raditz outside, and it struck him. Vegeta knew what he had to do. If he truly cared about Raditz, he needed to end what the two had, he was a totally unstable person and the last thing he needed right now was a relationship.
Vegeta wiped away his tears and calmed his breathing, stepping outside his door. Raditz and Zarbon were standing there, having one of their pathetic insult fights. “Your such a bitch! Your arm bans are pink!” Raditz said with a grin.
“Shut your damn mouth monkey!”
“Frieza's little bitch!”
Zarbon gritted his teeth; “I hate you!” Raditz's expression became angry, “I hate you more!”
“I hate you most!”
“I hate you infinity!”
“I hate you infinity times two!”
“You jerk! I-” Vegeta rolled his eyes and jerked Raditz into his room before he could finish what he was saying. Vegeta slammed the door shut and locked it, Zarbon sneaking up and putting his ear close to the door to listen.
Vegeta could still feel Zarbon's presence, punching through the door and knocking Zarbon out. Raditz smiled, “wow, wouldn't want to mess with you today!” Raditz bent down to kiss him. Vegeta turned his face away.
“Prince?”
Vegeta looked sorrowful, looking at Raditz from the corner of his eyes, “I, I can't do this, not anymore Raditz.” Raditz's eyes widened, “w, what do you mean your majesty?” Vegeta bit his lip, the faced Raditz, “please Raditz, you have to understand… I, there's too much going on for me, and, I just can't have a relationship right now! You'll only get hurt if I let this go any farther, and, I don't want that!”
Tears swelled in Raditz's eyes, he knew this was too good to be true “b, but your majesty!”
“Hold your tongue Raditz” Vegeta said quickly, he knew what Raditz was going to say, and he didn't want to hear it. There Raditz stood, unable to speak, only gaze into the eyes of the merciless Vegeta.
Vegeta leaned forward and took the sobbing Raditz into his embrace, “Raditz, please…” Vegeta choked out, holding back tears of his own. Zarbon woke, sitting up and thinking, `what the hell just happened?'
He then saw the hole in the metal door, “Frieza's gunna flip when he sees that!” Zarbon the looked into the hole, seeing the two sayjins crying like schoolgirls and tightly hugging one another. His eyes widened, `dude, I must have his my head really hard!' he thought as he staggered off.
Vegeta hugged Raditz tighter, feeling his energy and sorrow. He didn't want to do this, to make Raditz cry or to hurt him, but he knew he had to. Raditz rested his chin on Vegeta's shoulder, closing his eyes. Vegeta could strongly smell the salt in Raditz's tears as well as his own, for his senses as a sayjin were much stronger than a human's were.
Raditz curved his tail around Vegeta, “y, yes mi-lord, as y, y, you wish” he stuttered and took another deep staggering breath. Vegeta was starting to feel that he was being cruel when he told Raditz to hold his tongue, he'd completely ignored Raditz input on all this.
“When we're done on earth,” Vegeta whispered, “I'll find away out of this hell hole if it kills me! You, me, and Nappa, we'll all bust this joint!” Raditz nodded, Vegeta's tail swaying happily at the thought of that.
“You mean, you'll kill Frieza prince?”
Vegeta shook his head, “truth be told, I don't think I can, but, I don't have to. We'll escape though, while he sleeps, I know I can kill those soldiers of his!” Raditz grinned slightly though tears still fell from his eyes; “I don't doubt you for a second mi-lord!” Vegeta hugged Raditz tightly again, and for that moment, he didn't doubt himself either.
