Sacrificing Love

Chapter Fourteen: The End…?

He managed to dodge another one Frieza's punches. That was all he had been doing in the past few minutes, ever since Frieza figured out that ki wouldn't stop him. But the bastard was so close that Vegeta couldn't even fire any of his energy at him. The prince flinched for a moment when one of Frieza's fist landed in his stomach, then felt his head snap back when the other fist struck his cheek.

Frieza chuckled as he continued his onslaught against the prince. `The Legendary. How stupid of me to think that he would even be a challenge…' He smirked when he saw Vegeta's leg come up, trying to land a knee in his stomach. Frieza kicked his leg away with one of his own, forcing the prince to turn his back on him. The tyrant then took the chance to send a foot into Vegeta's back.

Vegeta stopped himself in midair. Forming a ball of ki in his palms, he turned back and released it. However, Frieza was nowhere in sight. The prince whirled around and sent a punch to where he sensed his opponent was hiding. Frieza appeared in front of him, holding his fist, then ramming a knee up his chin. He then dematerialized to his rear and kick his lower back and reappeared again in front of him to give him an uppercut with one fist and a blow to the stomach with his other.

The assault went on for a couple of minutes until Frieza disappeared and materialized above Vegeta. He made both of his hands into one fist and hit Vegeta on the head, sending him spiraling downwards.

Once Vegeta was heading for the marble, he sensed Frieza following him closely, and when he hit the floor, he narrowly rolled away from Frieza's decending foot and sent a ki blast upwards to him. His opponent shrugged it off and planted a foot on his chest anyway.

"So, monkey, do you find your end fitting enough?" The lizard asked him.

Grunting, Vegeta struggled beneath the heavy weight on him. Then, the weight was gone. The prince looked up to see Frieza slamming into the wall. He scanned the room and saw Kakarrot standing in the doorway, his hand still suspended from his blast.

"Are you okay, Ouji-sama?" Kakarrot asked, never taking his eyes off of Frieza.

"You dirty little fool." Frieza said as he examined his arm. "You'll pay for that."

"That," Vegeta said, getting up. "And plenty more." He turned to Kakrrot. "Get out of here, Kakarrot, and let me finish this."

"No," was all that Kakarrot said.

"What?"

"I'm not going anywhere, Ouji-sama."

"You will do as I say, Kakarrot! Leave! Now!" Vegeta yelled at him.

"No. This creature killed both my father and brother-and he threatened my mate and the rest of my race. I won't just stand back and do nothing, Prince Vegeta. I have to do this. Not for you, and not for Vegeta-sei." He lowered himself in a fighting stance. "This…is for me." He powered up into a Super-Saiyan and charged at Frieza.

Frieza was dumbfounded at the level of power that Kakarrot was able to reach with his anger alone. Then he saw the golden-haired Saiyan rush towards him. He fired some energy at him and his eyes widened as he saw the ki disintigrate around him. `He has that ability, too?!?' He only had time to wince when Kakarrot came at him, placing him in the way of a seris of punches and kicks. One kick was powerful enough to make him fly across the room. Kakarrot placed his hands together to fire a ki blast at him. Frieza dematerialized and reappeared in front Vegeta. Kakarrot held back a blast that he was about to send at the lizard.

"Why don't you join us?" Frieza said as he punched Vegeta in the face. Kakarrot landed, shooting out a barage of energy at Frieza once the prince had dematerialized out of his way. Frieza barely avoided the attack by dematerializing, meeting the prince to where he was floating in midair, and the two then engaged in hand to hand combat. Vegeta powered up and then released a burst of energy that knocked Frieza down to where Kakarrot had been waiting.

Kakarrot gathered a large quantity of energy in his hands and fired it at Frieza's descending body. It was enough for it to critically wound him, earning a shout from Frieza as he fell with a thud.

Vegeta landed and walked over to the pale creature. "Enjoy your last seconds of life, bastard. How does it feel to be defeated by Saiyans, the beings that you have foolishly belittled? This is your end." He rose a hand and shot a beam of energy in his chest. Frieza fell over.

"At last, he is gone," King Vegeta said as he moved towards the two Saiyans.

Kakarrot relaxed and powered down. "Finally. We can at least get things somewhat back to normal." He watched as Vegeta walked to him and punched him square in the jaw.

"That's what you get for not following my orders." Vegeta crossed his arns. "Now, let's find your mate and Bulma."

<><><><><><><><> <><>

Bulma and Chi Chi ran through the palace. They had encountered some of the intruders that were roaming around the palace, and they both knew who they were after…

Chi Chi dug through her memory to remember an alternate route to the throne room. All of the others were litered with Frieza's men, and Chi Chi wasn't going to let them get their hands on Bulma. After all that the woman had done for her, she wasn't about to give one of her good friends to the creature that had cause so much devestation to her planet. "…How about this way?" Chi Chi said, choosing a hallway.

"Might as well. I hope Vegeta has defeated Frieza already."

"With your help, how could he lose?"

Bulma watched the tiles of the floor as she ran side by side with her friend. "I know, but I-" She was cut off by the sight of more of Frieza's men.

"Let's turn around," Chi Chi whispered. Bulma nodded and turned, but then she overheard some of the things that the men were saying.

"…been almost fifteen minutes now. Why hasn't Zarbon called us back yet?"

"I hope that he's not going to blast the planet to bits while we're on it."

"Are you sure that he said fifteen minutes in the transmission, Hedro?"

"Yeah, that's what he said. And he told me that he would call back when he was about to depart."

Bulma gave Chi Chi a horrified look. `We have to get to Vegeta', she mouthed to Chi Chi, who nodded, before preforming a flip in the air. She landed behind them and chopped her hands on the back of their heads. "Come on!" she yelled to Bulma.

<><><><><><><><> <><>

"They should be coming right around the corner," Kakarrot informed the others. He knew Chi Chi's ki, but Bulma's was a little more difficult to sense. But he had successfully found it, and was following the two women's power levels, and also finding some of Frieza's men along the way. "I hope they're alright."

"And why wouldn't they be?" Vegeta demanded as he landed next to Kakarrot. "Your mate will be able to protect the both of them." He watched as the two rounded the corner and felt Bulma run right into him.

"What-" She looked up. Well, at least she had found Vegeta…as well as getting a whiff of his scent as well. She quickly put a clamp on the matter, and returned to the issue at hand. "Zarbon's going to destroy the planet!"

"What?!?" the king asked.

"Ou-sama," Chi Chi started. "We don't have much time! Zarbon said he was going to blow up Vegeta-sei, in the fifteen minutes that took them to raid the palace. We only have about five minutes left, give or take. We have to get out of here!"

Vegeta rocketed off of the ground. "I will find him and kill him."

"Boy, get down. It will, most likely, take you five minutes to find him, and then it will be too late. Now," King Vegeta said in a tranquil voice. "Let's go to the shipping dock."

Chi Chi and Kakarrot lifted themselves off of the ground as well as the king. Bulma was about to run with them before Vegeta grabbed her and carried her as he flew after them. The king shot him an almost disapproving look before flying to the head of the group. Kakarrot stopped in midair.

"Wait. What about the others?"

"There's no time, Kakarrot." Vegeta went past him. "We'll warn whoever we cross. That is all we can do."

The group was about halfway to the dock when they spotted one of Frieza's elites, a glob of a man named Dodoria that Kakarrot recognized. He never liked the man; he always was mean to him. "Get out of the way, Dodoria." Kakarrot said, his eyebrows drawing together in a frown.

"Ha. Well, it looks like I caught the little scientist that Frieza wants so much." His eyes scanned Bulma. "…And I can see why." He ignored Vegeta's growl. "Hand her over to me and I might just let you go."

"Not a chance," said Chi Chi.

"Really? I guess I have to use force, then." Dodoria said as he rose in the air. He darted after Vegeta, who shifted Bulma in one arm and lifted his other hand with a ki blast ready for him. Dodoria smiled as he dematerialized and appeared right in front of the king, shooting a ki blast to his head. "All hail King Vegeta."

"Ou-sama!" Bulma cried.

Chi Chi flew to Vegeta and took Bulma. "Go get him," she told Vegeta.

Vegeta went after Dodoria, his hands releasing short beams of energy at the pink blob, who was laughing and dodging them all with ease. Vegeta growled again and dematerialized and appeared in front of Dodoria. "You will pay for what you've done."

"Will I?" Dodoria asked.

Vegeta shoved a knee in Dodoria's stomach. Gathering his ki, he then shot a beam through his head. Dodoria fell to the floor. Kakarrot landed and examined the king. "Ou-sama…"

"We have to go." Vegeta sped towards the dock.

"How could he just shrug off the death of his father like that?" Bulma asked Chi Chi when they were following the prince.

"Saiyans don't show their emotions openly. I don't doubt that Vegeta felt something when the king died, but he would never show it." They reached the door to the dock.

Vegeta turned around to Bulma. "Do you know how to pilot a ship?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"Then you'll pilot that one," he said, pointing to a ship of medium size. "Everyone, get in it."

<><><><><><><><> <><>

Zarbon checked the timer. Fifteen minutes. He called all of the remaining soldiers back to the ship, and they had returned to it with something interesting…Frieza's body. Luckily, they had gotten it in the nick of time; Frieza was just barely breathing, suffering from a deep wound in his chest. Zarbon ordered the men to get Lord Frieza into a regen tank as soon as possible. It would take him a while to recover, but with a little luck, he would still be alive.

Zarbon watched Vegeta-sei as the ship left the planet. `It's time' He rose his hands and gathered an amount of energy even bigger than the planet. `Time to say goodbye, stupid monkeys.'

The End! Pfff! Of course, not!

Stay turned for Part Two!

A million thanks for reading, and please review!
