Chapter 16
Evil Returns
Vegeta swished his tail while eyeing up his enemies. One was a strange blue haired woman who was bawling her eyes out. He wished she would shut the hell up. He was surrounded by weak Namekin's. All old and young, not a decent warrior among them. They all deserved to be wiped out. One had seemed almost at warrior status but he was so weak, he doubted he would be over 500 on the power meter.
The last thing he remembered was being in his Oozaru form and trying to kill Kakarrot.
"I asked a question and I want a clear answer with no stuttering or crying." He snarled. "What the fuck am I doing here."
The woman that had been crying stepped forward. She held a slim blue tail in her hand. Vegeta watched her cautiously. She was beautiful he couldn't deny that and she seemed to know something. The other Namekins watched her expectantly, she couldn't be their leader, but she seemed important. He decided not to kill that one yet. She would be the last one to die, but they were all expendable.
"This...is New Namek." She said as bravely as she could. "I brought you here." She clutched the tail tighter as if it was a life line of some sort.
"What kind of human are you?" Vegeta spat. The Namek he had killed had called her that. "I have never seen a human with a tail."
"I'm special." She said meekly.
"What's special about you?" Vegeta growled. "You don't look special."
Bulma bit her tongue down, she wanted to snap back but she was petrified. Somehow her tail still existed, but she knew it wasn't because of the love from this Vegeta. Somewhere her Vegeta existed and still loved her. She just had to hold onto her tail to keep reminding herself. She had to think fast and keep herself alive, there had to be a way to reverse this mistake. She was full of regret of what she should and shouldn't have wished instead but she tried to focus on the survival of herself and her Namekin friends.
"I'm a pilot." Bulma said and pointed to her ship. "I can take you wherever you need to go."
"So where the fuck is Kakarrot." Vegeta said loosing his patience. "I have a traitor to kill."
"He's dead." Bulma said quickly. "He died two months ago."
"What?" Vegeta questioned, this wasn't making any sense and he was getting more pissed off. The sniveling and crying of the brats to the corner of his vision were also begging to be killed.
"You're in the future." Bulma explained. "You got brought here by accident." She hoped he would believe him, she was in a way telling the truth. She'd learned from her experience with Vegeta he could tell when you were lying. She just had to hope that by telling half-truths that he would believe her.
"So Bardock's son is dead." Vegeta sneered he was more annoyed than pleased at the news. "Was it by my hands?"
"No." Bulma shook her head. "He sacrificed himself to save the Earth."
Vegeta curled up his lip disgusted by the sentimental gesture. He looked around him, they were all Namekins. It couldn't be a coincidence, there was a Namekin on Earth with the dragonballs. Now here he was surrounded by the green bastards, summoned here by a powerful force. In the centre of it all a pale Earth woman who seemed to know a lot more than she was saying.
"Let me take a shot in the dark this is all because of the dragonballs." He said, the woman's reaction was interesting. Her pale and tear streaked face looked slightly shocked. *So it is the dragonballs.* He smirked and walked towards her amused at how she stumbled backward.
"I'll guess again." He said closing in on her trembling body, it was somehow amusing to him. He couldn't understand his reaction to her. She was a weak human, he shouldn't find her attractive. He breathed in her scent, she was stinking of fear. He wanted to push her some more to find out exactly what she knew.
"You're the one responsible." Vegeta said as he grabbed her neck. "You're just a wanna be Saiyan, you wished to see the Prince." He could just squeeze and threaten her, he could so easily break her frail neck. She hardly put up any resistance, her power levels would be lower than a 3rd class infant.
"If I wanted to be a Saiyan I would have wished for it." Bulma snapped back. "The dragonballs are gone." She said the last part believing it herself. They were all as good as dead. If Moori died they would stop working.
"Let me give you some advice." Vegeta said letting go of her throat and watched her drop to the ground. "If I were you I'd keep that flapping mouth shut, you'll survive longer."
Bulma nodded as she rubbed her neck. She was secretly cursing at her stupidity. This Vegeta would kill her without thinking for such impudent words.
"How far in the future am I?" He crossed his arms and looked down at her.
Bulma held up her hand showing four fingers.
"Don't be such a smart arse." Vegeta snarled. "You can speak when spoken to."
"It's at least four years." Bulma said quickly realising her mistake. 'I'm too young to die.'
"Do you know of Lord Freiza?" Vegeta asked.
Bulma nodded, the look of pure hatred Vegeta gave her was unreal. It was like she was back on old Namek seeing him for the first time. The nightmare version of Vegeta she had seen in her dreams was somehow coming true.
"What do you know of him?" Vegeta hissed.
"That he's dead." Bulma whispered, she winced slightly unsure how Vegeta would react his cold face was glaring down at her as she sat paralyzed on the ground.
For a moment Vegeta's scowl relaxed as he allowed himself to smirk. "Was it by my hands?"
"No." Bulma answered. She thought for a second to mention Trunks. Then she remembered how annoyed Vegeta had been at the time it happened of Freiza being killed by another Super Saiyan and not himself.
"You lie." He chuckled cruelly. "It is I that shall kill the lizard no one else."
Bulma was shaking with fear. "It's true he was killed by a Super Saiyan."
Vegeta smiled cruelly. "I am the only one that can be a Super Saiyan! I am the Prince of All Saiyans."
"That's not true..." Bulma whispered.
"Enough with your lies, Woman." Vegeta snarled. "You say the dragonballs are useless?"
"For another year." Bulma said. "You can't kill the Namekins, if they die the power of the dragonballs die as well. They are linked to their creators."
"You are quite useful woman." Vegeta purred, his bad temper seeming to be sedated by Bulma's eagerness to tell him information. "It seems quite convenient that ALL the Namekins have to stay alive."
Bulma gulped, sometimes she hated the fact that he was so smart.
"I killed one of the fuckers, the dragonballs still exist" Vegeta said pointing to the remains of Loki.
Bulma resisted the urge to vomit. It was just like when he had killed that lizard man on Namek. Her nightmares of that time were flashing back in her face again.
Vegeta smirked again her silence was encouraging. The Namekins had all huddled around one old and slightly rounded Namekin. The woman's white face was also a good indicator, she kept looking at the fat one too. It was strange, he thought how he could read this stranger's face so well.
He turned away from her and stalked towards the green aliens. "You're going to tell me all about these dragonballs."
Bulma hid her eyes. She could be brave sometimes, but not just now. Now she saw the man she loved threatening a peaceful race. It was too much to bare. She turned her back and prayed to whatever gods listening that this was just a horrible dream. She could feel more tears welling up, but she refused to shed any more. It was done now, she just had to hope that there was a way to fix it. She let go of her tail, her only life line to the old Vegeta. He couldn't be completely gone, there had to be something left or else her tail would have dropped off. She started crying softly again and curled up on the ground while Vegeta continued his rant to the Namekins.
"I have just come from a fight to the death, so I am in no mood for these games." Vegeta pointed his finger to each innocent face and back again. "So which one of you green punching bags is the key to the power of the Dragonballs." He growled his finger kept pointing directly at the fat one he suspected was the leader.
"This is not the way my boy." Moori said shaking his head.
"What are you talking about?" Vegeta snarled. "I want to wish for immortality, it is the best way to unlimited power."
"Do you want to live forever?" Moori asked. His eyes were locked on the deadly finger, but he had to speak his mind. He would sacrifice himself if it meant to save the universe.
Vegeta tried walking further but something stopped him. He quickly turned to look at the woman. She was wide eyed and staring back at him.
The cause of his hindrance was HER tail. She seemed just as shocked by its action. It had wrapped around HIS tail and was pulling tightly. Vegeta couldn't pull away without hurting his own, which was tightening as well
"WOMAN!!" He screamed.
"AAAAHHHH!!!" She screamed back, Bulma couldn't understand why her tail had done it. For five minutes she squealed and babbled as Vegeta stomped his feet and yelled at her.
"Let go you fucking bitch!"
"I don't wanna die, I'm too beautiful and smart and AAAAHH!"
"Just let my tail go you fuckwit!"
"AHHH! Idon'twannadie!"
Moori and his Namek children watched in fascination at the strange dance. Vegeta would tried to grab Bulma but she would run and pull at the tails, trying to release the grip her tail had. This would make Vegeta blast another rock as a threat. It only made her scream louder and he would clutch his head as he became deafened. Vegeta then swore he would kill the woman. Bulma then would begin to try running again.
"What is going on father?" A Namek boy asked.
"I do not know." Moori said, genuinely puzzled. "I have a theory, but I can't say with the bad Saiyan here. Though it is apparent that he is bluffing, he cannot kill her."
The Namekins all nodded their understanding and watched horrified as Bulma was finally caught.
"How is it real?" Vegeta said as he held her by the scruff of her jacket.
"I wished for it." Bulma choked. Her tail was still attached to his, wound round in a tight knot. If this had been HER Vegeta then she would be laughing. She didn't feel like that at all. She glared at her traitorous tail, she could have been killed! She was already slightly bruised and cut from the explosions that were far too near her face.
Vegeta snorted a laugh at her. "I still say you're a wanna be Saiyan." He said. "I should kill you now, only Saiyan mates do this with their tails. It is an insult to my race."
*Not that there's much left.* Bulma thought but said. "It did it by itself."
"Well get in control." He snarled pulling her close to his face.
Bulma kept her eyes locked. 'Why hasn't he killed me yet?' She wondered. 'Is he just toying with me? Maybe he can't. I have to test this, oh crap, if I'm wrong....'
"Just do it." Bulma whispered.
"What?" Vegeta snapped.
"I thought you would have killed me by now." Bulma said lifting her chin and continued looking into the dark angry eyes of Vegeta. She wasn't sure where her bravery was coming from but she felt the strongest belief in the fact that somewhere inside the monster before her, was her husband.
Vegeta slowly traced his finger over her cheek, wiping a dot of blood. "Just release my tail, idiot." He said. "If there is no reason for me to kill you then I won't."
Bulma shivered at his cold touch. Her tail relaxed and unlooped from his and she was thrown to the ground.
"If you value your life so much, I suggest you keep a hold of that flirting tail and don't mention it ever again." Vegeta turned back to Moori. "For your own race's survival I hope you'll give me what I need."
"I can't give you what you need." Moori said. "Only Bulma can."
"Who?" Vegeta snarled.
Mahatama pointed to Bulma. "She is your mate." He said speaking up for the first time.
'Oh crap.' Bulma thought. She was hoping to hide that fact till she'd gotten the dragonballs.
"I would never mate with such a whining pathetic weakling." Vegeta picked up Mahatama and started shaking him for more information.
"Whining?" Bulma said quietly. She was starting to get angry. Sure she knew she was weak, perhaps even a little bit pathetic but Bulma Briefs never whined! 'Okay there were a few occasions when I voiced my discomfort.' Bulma turned her head down to the ground and tried to remember this wasn't her mate.
~Bulma?~
She glanced up Moori was looking directly at her smiling. ~Nod your head if you can hear me.~
Bulma did as she was asked.
~Listen to me Bulma, this is YOUR Vegeta.~ Moori explained. ~Did you not tell me your wedding vows earlier?~
The blue haired genius thought for a second as she recalled the conversation. She had mentioned the vows. One stuck in her head though. 'I forgive all your sins?' She glanced wide eyed at the monster shaking the peaceful Namekin. It was her husband even if he didn't remember. There was still their bond. She honestly thought it was just another word for a wedding but Vegeta had mentioned they would be joined by mind as well as body. She just had to believe in it.
~Porunga is not powerful enough to erase the love the pair of you share.~ Moori said in her head. ~You have to be brave my girl, no use crapping your pants over this.~
Bulma gritted her teeth at the last comment. 'My pants are fine, I'm just slightly panicking.' He was pointing out her slight cowardliness that surfaced every now and then, but she couldn't let it happen now. She had a son to think of. She had to get Vegeta back somehow.
~The wish cannot be undone Bulma.~ Moori said. ~You cannot take a wish back, Vegeta will have to remember you the old fashioned way.~
Part of Bulma collapsed as her last hope was dashed. 'How can I make the stupid bond work if he can't even respect me? How can I used this Bond when I have no idea how it works?' She thought. 'Okay, babbling like a maniac hasn't helped. He can't kill me, I just have to get him away from the Namekins.'
Vegeta threw Mahatama down on the ground. "Pathetic!" He spat, the old Namek collided into the cliff side. He didn't survive the impact. Vegeta chuckled at all the blank shocked faces. The only one that wasn't shocked was the woman, his so called mate. Her mouth was thin and she was staring at him with cool determination.
"You cannot defeat the Prince of Saiyans weakling." He said to her laughing.
"I don't want to defeat you." Bulma said coolly.
"Then what do you want?" Vegeta snarled.
"I want you to come with me to prove that what I say is true." Bulma said. "Come to Freiza's planet and see that he's gone."
"That's fucking suicide!" Vegeta yelled. "It's a trap."
"Then stay here and rot for all I care." Bulma yelled back. "I'd much rather see you face off against Freiza rather than a bunch of unprotected Namekins."
"When I have the power from the dragonballs!" Vegeta said.
"You already have the power!" Bulma said and then covered her mouth.
Vegeta stalked up close to her. "Would you mind repeating that it sounded really puerile and suicidal."
"I said you already have the power." Bulma whispered, his threatening closeness sapping the last of her new found bravery. "You already are a Super Saiyan."
"This is more of your pathetic lies to keep your sniveling self alive."
'Well, duh.' Bulma thought but said as her mind wondered, she couldn't ask him to unleash his full power he would destroy the planet. "I'm telling the truth..." She scrambled into her capsule pouch and took out a small unmarked capsule. 'He's just like he was before so there's no way he can feel his own power level...'
The capsule exploded and was almost smashed by Vegeta. "What stupid trick is this."
"It's just my scanner!" Bulma said waving her hands over it so he wouldn't touch it.
"Looks like no scanner I've ever seen." Vegeta sneered.
"The headband eye patch thing was really unfashionable, this is better." Bulma sighed, she wanted to boast about how she made herself and her usual genius talk but she merely switched it on. "It's calibrated to go over 9000, the old readings are unable to handle the power levels."
Vegeta watched unamused. He was running out of patience and he wasn't sure if he wanted to rape or kill the woman which was making him even more angry. He never considered any female worthy of him, much less a wanna-be Saiyan. Her voice itself had ways of piercing his skull like no weapon ever could.
The machine blipped beeped and Bulma pointed it to herself, there was a measly number of 50, just as he would expect. She pointed it to one of the Namkin children who came out higher at 340. She then gulped and turned the scanner to Vegeta where the most amount of machine noise.
"You're currently reading at 19,000..." Bulma said, her mind going into auto pilot. "This is even before you power up..."
Vegeta laughed out loud, "Woman! That machine best not be lying."
"It's not!" Bulma said and she shrieked as she was lifted up high by Vegeta. He just grabbed her belt and hoisted her up so she was looking down at his manical laughing.
"Then I truly am a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta laughed. "Then, Woman, we have no need for these Dragonballs. You will pilot your ship to Lord Freeza's planet and we shall test out my full powers."
"Please, leave these people in peace."
"Oh, I agree, these Dragonballs would be useful in the future, should I have need of them." Vegeta smiled baring his fangs. He dumped her down in the ground. "Get your ship ready Woman, I will be going to train."
"Don't kill anyone else, the Dragonballs..."
"Yes, yes, whatever, I have no wish to kill anyone other than Freeza and his pathetic army." Vegeta cackled. "You'd make a good peace Senator."
He flew off into the sky leaving with a sonic boom as he flew with his full might.
"I'm sorry Moori!" Bulma cried the stress finally releasing like a string and she hung down on the ground.
"Well, it's all done now, we can't re-summon the dragon with Vegeta here. Just do your best and take him off the planet." Moori suggested. "You need to be brave and believe in the bond that the pair of you hold."
"I think I've used up all my bravery just now..." Bulma sighed and stood up with her shaky legs. "I-I know he can't kill me.... but... is my Vegeta really gone?"
"I can't answer that just now my child." Moori said sadly.
Bulma nodded and tried to keep her tears from flowing. She had work to do. Her ship needed restocked and ready for another trip, to Heaven knows where. King Kold's planet?
'Oh, let this all be a cruel joke... maybe a dream... ' Bulma secretly wished inside but she knew the truth. It was real as a mountain in the distance exploded, she knew. Her Vegeta was gone and all that remained was cruel monster she thought had been tamed. The Prince that haunted her sleep back in old Namek was back again and forcing her to go on another space journey. Only this time the end result was much less certain.
Author's Notes: I added a little more dialogue for this part as it sort of explains more of the Bond. (Yeah, going into that fanfic cliche) I also bulked out the ending as it just ends in the previous story and starts at a weird part in the next.
Bulma's tail was wished back if Vegeta loved her. He may not love her now, but he did at the point her tail returned. So, even though Bulma thinks it would drop off, I think it would be fine. That's my way round that plot hole, anyway.
Next chapter we'll find out where exactly Vegeta wants to go to test his powers. I will update as soon as possible,
