Chapter 20
Early the next morning…
Vegeta woke up and hugged Bulma closer to him. Last night had been incredible. He and Bulma were finally bonded and mated. It was done. He had claimed her several times last night, strengthening their bond and making sure she knew who she belonged to in no uncertain terms. He took in the scent of her hair and carefully got out of bed so as not to wake her. She needed her rest he thought with a smirk. He had been surprised that his little mate had been able to keep up. She had even woke him up at one point in the middle of the night for another session.
He needed to get up and train. It was still dark out. He could meditate for a little and then do a few drills hopefully before Bulma woke up. He still needed to figure out a plan for them. They needed to leave. He needed to train. He wasn't sure, but he thought he may have had a glimpse of Super Saiyan last night and he needed to test out his new abilities. It hadn't occurred to him until Bulma had shown him through the bond what she had seen.
Flashback…
Bulma cried out in ecstasy for what she wasn't sure if this was the third or fourth time that night. She had lost track. They had made love a second time that evening and it had been just as amazing as the first time. She remembered falling asleep in his arms and then him waking her up again sometime later for another intense, passionate round. It was as if every time they were together the more their bond seemed to deepen as well. She felt as though they were both completely in tune with one another.
She had woken him up once as well, and she was pretty sure that's where they were now. This time, he had allowed her to crawl on top of him and take the full initiative. The surprised look on his usually scowled face made her giggle at him. He had gripped her hips with his strong hands and wrapped his tail around her waist, steadying her, allowing her to set the pace. He watched her move over him; taking in the perfect curves of her delicate body; the look of pleasure on her face as he filled her. They stayed like that for a little while and then without warning he had managed to flip her on her back and thrust himself deeper into her. It didn't take long and they were both clinging to each other for dear life as they came down from their release.
Vegeta pulled Bulma into his arms, holding her tightly. It all still seemed unbelievable that they were together now like this. He kissed her on the top of her head and settled in for some rest.
"Vegeta?" she asked him, sleepily.
"Hmmn?"
"When you got angry and were beating Zarbon to a pulp, what happened to you?" she asked, looking up at him.
"What do you mean, 'What happened to me'?"
"Well, you changed."
"Woman, I was angry. I reacted at the situation. I thought we already went over this. I do not wish to revisit it. What is done cannot be undone."
"No, that's not what I'm getting at." She said leaning up on an elbow so she could look at him. "Your hair changed color." She said, running a hand through his thick, dark spikes. "And your eyes."
"What do you mean?" he asked her, frowning. She doesn't mean what I think she means?
"Just like I said. It was only brief. So brief, I wasn't sure I even saw it. Your hair turned a golden yellow and your eyes kinda flickered I don't know. A bright teal? It was surreal. The whole scenario was, I guess. It went away as quickly as it happened. I almost wasn't sure it happened."
Vegeta looked at her, his eyes widening. He placed his hands on either side of her face. "Woman, show me."
"What do you mean?" she asked, frowning.
"Show me. Through the bond. I need to see exactly what you saw." He said almost frantically.
"I'll try." She said, still not sure of all the aspects; benefits and drawbacks of this bond.
"Just close your eyes and think about it. The same as when you think a thought and I hear it. Think about what you saw, I should be able to see it, just like we did earlier." He explained, a bit unsure himself since he had never experienced a bond with anyone either.
Bulma closed her eyes and thought back to the evenings events as she remembered them happening. She could feel his mind brush hers. It was a neat feeling. She thought back and remembered the energy crackling that seemed to surround him like a golden aura of lightning. She recalled her shock as he began beating the daylights out of him.
Vegeta balled his fists and began pummeling Zarbon as hard as he could; his hands crackling and releasing his pent up energy into each blow, inflicting much damage, not allowing the handsome green general a chance to get up. He wore a look of absolute murderous rage and blood lust. She noticed the more Vegeta punched him the more energy that reminded her of lightning, seemed to surround him. She wasn't sure, but she thought she had seen his hair and eyes change color.
"This is for everything you have inflicted on me and what you attempted to inflict on my mate. I shall repay to you tenfold." Vegeta said calmly, pausing for a moment. "You will never touch her." Vegeta growled and let himself power up, releasing the energy he felt at the end of his finger tips that he had been struggling to hold at bay.
Zarbon looked at him and his face fell. "What the hell?" he exclaimed. The Prince's hair had turned bright yellow and his eyes a piercing teal. With that, Vegeta sent a giant ki ball through the handsome general's chest and it was over; his hair and eyes returning to normal. The golden energy aura disappearing.
Bulma opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Woman, do you know that this means? Do you know what that was?" he asked her excitedly.
"You ascended?"
"I did. That explains why I was able to do away with him so quickly. The bastard never stood a chance." Vegeta said with wonder. "You showed me that earlier, briefly when we first opened the bond. I was so overwhelmed; I didn't even pick up on it."
"I told you to stop underestimating your abilities." She said, kissing him chastely on the lips and snuggling back into his arms.
"I didn't even know." Vegeta said, shaking his head. "I was so caught up in finishing him that I didn't even notice." He couldn't believe it. He could remember feeling an increase in power but he had only attributed it to an adrenalin rush and the relief of being able to finally take out all of his rage and anger out on someone. He had touched his ascension. And it hadn't come to him with any of the bravado and hurrah that he always thought there would be. All these years, he had been training himself half to death to achieve it, and the one moment he needed it, there it was. It had flowed easily through him and allowed him to do what he needed to do to protect his woman.
His woman. This delicate, frail, weak woman in his arms. Who would have thought she would be the key to unlocking his true power. All this time, he had held himself back and told himself that she was sure to be his biggest weakness how ironic was it that she turned out to be the one to help him achieve his true potential?
"I'm not weak." She replied, catching on to his train of thought and trying to not be offended that he had seen her all this time as a weakness, even though he had said it on occasion.
"I agree with you in every way except for physically, you are. However, you can't help that and I will be teaching you a few things to make you less weak." He said to her.
"No, I know that but I am not a weakness to you." She said seriously.
"So it would seem. Who'd have thought, woman." He chuckled. "Get some sleep. We have much to do and figure out in the morning."
Bulma snuggled back into him, letting the matter drop for the moment. He could tell through the bond that she was upset he saw her as a weakness. He hadn't meant for her to pick up on that. He was proud to have her as his mate; in his eyes she was the only woman fit to stand at his side. The truth of the matter was that she may very well have been the reason for his ascension, but she was still a weakness and liability to him. Especially after he was sure Zarbon would have been discovered by now. He knew his father and Lord Frieza would be plotting to destroy her or at the very least threaten to hurt her to get to him. In that way, she was his greatest weakness. They could destroy him through her, as much as he hated to admit it, he knew it was true.
He sighed and decided to get an hour or two of sleep and then get up and test out his new abilities. He had to be sure before they left. If he had truly ascended, then maybe they wouldn't have to leave the planet. He could take out his father and perhaps Frieza too. He needed to figure out the full extent of what he could do. He would find out in a few hours.
Current day…
Vegeta sat down on the sand, legs crossed; Indian-style not far from where the ocean was lapping at the land. He folded his arms and closed his eyes in concentration. He could sense Bulma. Her energy signal seemed so much stronger to him now that they had a bond. He could pick up on her so clearly now. She was still sleeping peacefully. He cleared his mind of her; putting up a wall on the mental bond they had spent building all night together. He needed to be clear headed at the moment if he was going to be able to tap into his new found power.
He sat there for what felt like hours and then got up to do some warm ups. He started with pushups, then sit ups. He then started shadow boxing with an invisible opponent. He felt the same. Maybe a tad of an increase in his speed, but aside from that, he didn't notice a difference. He flew off quickly into the jungle terrain. He wanted to power up and see if he could tap into his ascension.
Vegeta found a nice quiet spot where there went too many trees to get in his way. He closed his eyes again and cleared his mind. He took a deep breath and started drawing on his inner energy, bringing it to the surface. He could feel it coming to him; it was definitely there. He let out a ferocious roar, releasing his energy into the atmosphere. He could feel it. Hovering in on the inside just at his finger tips. He drew into himself once more, hoping to be able to harness it and release it. He felt the energy begin to crackle around his hands. Smirking to himself he released another bout of energy, sure that he'd have it this time. It was there. He was so close he could almost taste it...
And then it was gone.
Just like that.
Vegeta tried again a few more times, each time with no success. What the hell?! He thought to himself in irritation. He thought he'd had it. Finally. He had felt it hovering just barely beneath the surface of his skin. It had been there, yet when we drew upon it to release this new found power, it simply vanished.
Confused and frustrated, he headed back to the house. Maybe he needed to do some more meditation? He took a seat again near the water, clearing his mind completely. Focusing only on the sound of the weaves, the fresh air in his lungs; the way the sun warmed his skin, the breeze rustling through the trees nearby. He could do this. He needed to awaken whatever it was that was now dormant within him. Why could he not tap into it? It had come to him so easily last night. He hadn't even noticed it!
He sensed Bulma was awake now. He made no attempt to head back into the house. She could find him out here. He felt calm and at peace, letting the discouragement of not being able to reach his goal again wash away. He would find it again. He was sure of it. He smirked as he sensed her approach from behind him.
Bulma quietly sat down next to him, wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him on the shoulder. He smirked at her and put an arm around her shoulders, pulling her in closer to him. She wore a pair of comfortable black pants, a sky blue tank top that flattered her bust and a pair of black flip flops; her hair in a high ponytail.
"You're awake." He said.
"I am. What have you been up to?" she asked, smiling up at him.
"Some light training. Meditation."
"Did you tap into your new abilities?" she asked, excitedly. "You know, take them for a test drive?"
"Hmmn. No." he replied sourly. "It's evading me again."
She nodded, picking up on his annoyance at that fact. "Well, don't despair. You already did it once. Maybe it only makes itself known when you need it."
"No, Woman. Either you ascend or you don't." he snapped, not meaning to release his frustration out on her, but doing so none the less. "It is something I should be able to call upon at will and retain for as long as I want whether I need it or not."
Bulma nodded. "Well, don't worry about it too much. You did it once, I'm sure it'll just take you some practice is all. You'll figure it out I'm sure." She said leaning in and kissing him on the cheek.
"How are you this morning? You're alright?"
"I'm fine. A little sore and a bit tired, but that's to be expected." She said with an evil smirk. "So what's on the agenda today?"
"I'm not sure yet. We do need to go back."
"Do we really? We should stay here a few days. You said so yourself last night that it could take them a while to find us."
"As much as I would like nothing more, we have to go back. I'm sure my father has sent out more than half his soldiers out looking for us and I'd be very surprised if Frieza didn't send the entire Ginyu Force out after us as well." Vegeta sighed.
"I thought you were going to start training me today." She said teasingly to him.
"Hmmn. I was planning on it." He replied, nodding. He was still distracted.
"You don't have to. I'm just bugging you." She said, poking him, picking up briefly on the many things running through his mind. She couldn't quite pick out a single thought, just lots of different thoughts and emotions going through him. "Is that normal?' she asked.
"Is what normal?"
"I can feel that you're anxious and a whole bunch of other things. Feelings mostly. But I can't pick up on any actual thoughts. I don't know how to explain it."
"The longer we are mates, the easier it will become. It's like anything else, you have to work at it." He replied, looking out onto the horizon. "It can take mates years to form a proper bond. I do not think it will take us that long. Every couple is different. I am surprised how quickly and deeply we bonded in just one night; especially since you are not Saiyan. I expected it to take some time."
Bulma nodded. This was all still very strange to her. "So I will be able to eventually speak with you and carry on a conversation with you in my head, through the bond?"
"Eventually, yes. You did it last night."
"I know. It seemed so easy. Right now, it seems hard. Like I said, I can only pick out the odd thought and mostly emotions from you." She said, frowning slightly, trying to concentrate. Woman, stop fussing about it. It will come. You do not want to be in my head anyway.
She looked at him wide eyed. This is amazing.
See. There you go. He smirked at her.
Vegeta took her into the jungle to explore a bit, enjoy what small amount of peace they might still have. He led the way in down through a natural path into the trees, chivalrously taking her hand. "Watch your step." He said, remembering her inappropriate footwear and stepping over a fallen tree.
They walked for a while in companionable silence. Bulma took in the scenery. The trees here were beautiful. She wondered briefly how old they must have been, the trunks on some of them were wider than she was tall. Aside from the enormous trees, most of the pants and flowers didn't look any different from Earth's plant life. She was disappointed she hadn't caught any glimpses of wild life so far.
Vegeta stopped once they reached a spacious clearing next to a small lake area. There was a break in the trees, letting the sun in, warming the water. He turned to her, letting her hand go and taking a step away from her. "Stand up straight." He said, crossing his arms, legs shoulder width apart.
Bulma did as he asked. "Your posture must be straight at all times, but you must remain lucid as well; you must be able to keep your balance as well as be able to keep your stance loose enough evade any oncoming attack with ease, no matter whether it be expected or not. Always be prepared. Never let your guard down." He said, walking around her while explaining.
He nudged her lightly on her left arm from behind and noted how she almost fell over. "You need to keep your balance, Woman."
"I know. I didn't think you were going to be shoving me around." She objected.
"You need to always be prepared for anything. Trust no one." He said.
"Not even you?"
"No one, Woman." He said, nudging her again, pleased that she stood her ground this time. "Always be aware of your surroundings."
She nodded, keeping track of him as he walked around her. "Now, hit me as hard as you can."
"What? No."
"Woman, I can't teach you anything if I don't know what I am working with. Now hit me." He said again.
"But I don't want to hit you." She whined. "It might hurt."
"Like you could ever hurt me, little one." He chuckled. That was a good one!
While he was standing there laughing at her, he was shocked to get a punch in the shoulder. He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Good!" he said.
"I caught you off guard!"
"Hmmn. So you did." He nodded. "Now next time, I want you to follow through properly. That wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. You don't have much to you, use your shoulders; throw your weight into it and then follow through." He walked up to her, straightened up her posture. "Your stance is everything. It is very important." He said, crouching down into a fighting stance.
She mirrored his body stance. "Good." He nodded. "You must be able to hold that stance yet still be loose enough to react appropriately. Now hit me again. Remember to follow through." She did as she was told and punched him in the shoulder again. "Not bad." he nodded. "Again."
Bulma threw another punch at him, which he blocked easily and she threw her other fist at him to counter the block, which he blocked as well with ease.
Vegeta nodded and had her throw a few more punches at him and showed her how to block properly. After about a half hour or so, they called it quits. He was quite impressed with her. She had no physical strength to speak of, but the fact that she was so small and nimble worked to her advantage. He showed her how to get out of a few different threatening holds with relative ease. She may not be able to inflict much damage, but if she knew how to get out of a sticky situation enough to make an escape that would make him feel better. He was glad that she was a fast learner. He only had to show her something once, correct her on it and then she had it. He was very impressed with her actually.
He decided to call it a day. They had accomplished quite a bit today. He pulled his shirt over his head and removed his pants and waded into the water. He ducked under the water and when he reemerged, was nearly to the other side of the lake.
"You coming in or not, Woman?" He asked her playfully.
Bulma nodded and removed her clothes, setting them down next to Vegeta's discarded clothing. She daintily dipped a foot in to the water, testing the temperature and was surprised at how warm it was. She waded into the lake. She was amazed at how clear the water was; unlike many of the lakes back on her planet. She made a shallow dive and swam over to where Vegeta was waiting for her. She emerged right in front of him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him.
He wrapped his strong arms around her small figure and kissed her back. "You did well." He said. "We will continue tomorrow. You will get up to train when I get up and train. I will start you with a few drills to try and build up your strength."
"Like lifting weights?"
"No, Woman." He scoffed. "What a waste of time. You can increase your strength by using your own body. I will teach you. That way you may train wherever without the benefits of a proper facility."
"Alright. I'm looking forward to it!" she said, smiling at him.
"I expect you to apply yourself and to take this seriously, Woman." He said.
"I will, your highness." She replied, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing his again.
He reached up and took her hair down from the high ponytail and running his hands through her wet hair, letting it cascade down to her shoulders. He kissed her back and placed his hands around her hips, entering her carefully. She closed her eyes and moaned at the sensation.
He carried her through the water, holding her tightly to him and leaned against the rocks on the other side of the lake. He closed his eyes as she began to move against him and let his mouth graze against her neck briefly before he bit down on her again.
Bulma cried out as he reopened the wound on the neck. She closed her eyes as she let the feeling of pleasure wash over her. She kissed him when he let go of her neck and tangled her fingers in his hair. A thought had come to her at some point last night but she hadn't acted on it. Without thinking, she proceeded to kiss down his neck, sucking on the skin where his neck met his shoulder and bit down on him as hard as she could.
Vegeta growled as he felt her bite down on him; it thrilled him. She had marked him back. He roughly pulled her closer to him, thrusting himself harder up into her as she still had her teeth sunk into his neck. She let go finally and looked up at him curiously, hoping that had been alright that she had done that. It seemed like the right thing at the time. If he could mark her, why couldn't she mark him?
He looked at her with an expression she could not read and worried for a moment that she had just done something she shouldn't have; when he kissed her deeply and felt the pride he felt for her she relaxed. This tiny slip of a woman never ceased to amaze him. He hadn't expected her to mark him. It wasn't part of her culture. That she did, excited him greatly. He had to remind himself that she wasn't a Saiyan and remember to be gentle with her.
Bulma clung on to him tightly as he picked up the pace, thrusting into her at a much rougher pace than he had last night, but not causing her harm. She rest her head on his shoulder and gave in to the feelings of pure pleasure pulsing through her.
It didn't take long with the pace they were making brought them both to completion, both shouting the others name in the ecstasy of their release.
They both relaxed in the lake for a little while before Vegeta decided it was time to leave. He had been shocked that he hadn't sensed anyone's approach. Maybe they aren't looking for us. He thought.
Wouldn't that be a good thing? Bulma replied to him through the bond. It was getting easier to communicate her thoughts to him.
I do not know. He replied. This didn't feel right.
Well, why don't we stay here for a few days then? It would be like our honeymoon?
No, Woman, we must leave. I have to find out what's going on. Figure out a way to get you off this planet while I figure out how to reach Super Saiyan again. He said in an irritated tone. He hated not knowing what was going on. He had a bad feeling. We should head back now. Hopefully we will not be noticed. I will get my ship ready and leave.
You're not going to speak to your father before we leave? She asked.
No. I have nothing to say to him. The longer we stay here, the more danger I put you in. By now I am sure my father and Lord Frieza will be pissed. We have to leave. I will return when I can face them without fear of failure and you are someplace safe.
Alright. You know best. She replied with a smile and wrapping her arms around his neck, ready to leave and head back to reality. You'll bring be back here, right?
In time, if you wish. He replied, scooping her up in his arms and heading back to the palace. He put up a mental barrier, not wanting her to pick up his anxiety as he formulated a plan. Killing Zarbon, while satisfying, had put a major crimp in his plans.
It took about an hour for them to reach the palace from the island. It was just after midday. They were both shocked that they hadn't seen anyone. Vegeta landed on the balcony of his personal quarters.
"I will grab my scouter and find out what we are dealing with here. Then I will start my ship and we will leave. You will wait here and I will come get you." He said, opening the door and heading into his suite, surprised to see Kakarott there waiting for him.
"Vegeta! Bulma!" he greeted. "Am I glad to see you two!"
"Kakarott, what are you doing here?" Vegeta growled.
"Oh, boy. Well, you see, Your father and Lord Frieza discovered Zarbon and sent all the soldiers and Ginyu force out to find you both and bring you both back here. I was waiting for you to warn you." Kakarott explained. "On the plus side, none of the Saiyan soldiers are looking very hard for you."
"That is good news. Kakarott, I need to get Bulma off this planet and far away from here."
"It' already been taken care of. I got your ship refueled and ready last night when all hell broke loose. My father talked to the King and Frieza. It's not good. They think Bulma is to blame for your actions and are plotting to rid you of her."
Vegeta looked at Kakarott with a look of rage. "None of this is her fault."
"Oh, I know that. And trust me, no one here blames you. You're a hero for killing Zarbon. The only ones upset are your father and Frieza." Kakarott shrugged. "And how about you and Bulma, huh? It's official? Good for you guys!"
"Not now, Kakarott!" Vegeta snapped at the younger Saiyan. "You said my ship is ready?"
"It is." Kakarott nodded.
"Alright, take Bulma there. And prepare for departure immediately."
"But what about you?" Bulma asked with a frown. "I am not leaving here without you. Especially if they think this is my fault."
"Woman, did you not hear what the clown said? They are plotting your demise. I will not risk them finding you. Go with Kakarott. I need to grab your plans for the Gravity room from Bardock's lab."
"Forget it! I can re do them once we leave. I am a genius and it is my design." Bulma objected. "Please don't leave me. Lets all go together now."
"No, Woman. I will also grab the progress you and Bardock have already made and capsulate it. It will save time."
"What if you are discovered though?"
"I won't be. I'll be quick. I'll probably make it to the ship before you guys knowing Kakarott's slow ass." Vegeta argued. "Go with Kakarott. It will be fine. Do not argue with me, Woman. Go."
Bulma shook her head. This was a bad plan. "It should be located on the very last table. All of it is already capsulated in a blue capsule. Plans, everything."
"Look, if anything happens, I will let you know through the bond. You guys leave without me. I will find you." He said, looking at her, willing her to just go along with this. "Trust me."
Bulma shrugged. "Fine. But you'd better be on that ship. I don't care; I am not leaving here without you. Understand?"
Vegeta nodded and looked at Kakarott, who got the message and nodded. He knew what to do should this plan back fire. He would leave with Bulma and coordinate a way to meet up once they found a safe place to hide. He didn't like the idea of leaving Vegeta behind any more than Bulma did, but if that's what needed to be done to keep her safe, then he would follow his Prince's orders.
"Get going, now." Vegeta said to her, placing his hands on either side of her face and looking at her intensely.
"Take me with you, I'd feel a whole lot better if you did." She pleaded with him in panic.
"And I will feel better if you head onto the ship with Kakarott. I will not be long and we will be on our way off of here."
"Alright. But be careful." She sighed, still not comfortable with this plan. "I love you." She said, kissing him.
"Hmmn. I know." He replied with a cocky smirk, kissing her back quickly. Trust me on this. I will make it up to you later on, Woman. He said to her through their bond.
I'll be holding you to that. She replied. "Alright, let's go. Be careful, Vegeta." She said, turning to head back out onto the balcony.
"If I am discovered, I will let Bulma know through the bond. I do not care what she says, you are to leave." he said quietly to the younger Saiyan. "Better yet, if I am not on that ship in fifteen minutes, you get off this planet. Take her and go. Do not contact me until you have found some place safe. Understand?"
Kakarott nodded. "I'll take care of her, Vegeta. Don't worry, I know you'll make it on the ship, but if not, I understand."
Vegeta gave Bulma one last glance and left his quarters.
"I don't like this, Kakarott." She said.
"I know, but you heard him. Come with me. I'll get you to that ship, and I'm sure it'll be fine. If I know Vegeta, it'll take a lot to keep him from meeting us. Let's go." Kakarott said, scooping her up in his arms and flying towards the docking bay. The sooner he got Bulma there, the better.
They made it to the docking bay without incident and boarded the ship, not noticing Asia lurking around. She had seen Kakarott board Vegeta's ship last night. She wasn't sure what he was doing, but she knew Vegeta and Kakarott were thicker than thieves. She kept herself scarce and took it upon herself to keep an eye out for either Vegeta or his little wench; sticking around the docking bay in case they decided on an escape once they finally returned.
She wasn't sure where Vegeta was, but she had seen Bulma. She hadn't spoken to the King since last night and knew that the King wanted them both. If they got their hands on her, she knew Vegeta would not be far behind. She smirked and decided to take this news to the King and Lord Frieza.
Asia walked quickly to the throne room, knowing that the King and Lord Frieza were waiting there patiently for any news.
MEANWHILE…
Vegeta flew down the hallways of the palace, rushing towards Bardock's lab. He was surprised at how empty it was, but if his father was exhausting every effort to have him and Bulma found, then this would be the least likely place to find them, so why keep the guards on post in the halls? He chuckled to himself. This was proving to be easier than he thought it would be. He might even beat Kakarott and his woman to the ship. Wouldn't she be surprised? He thought with a smirk. He could feel her anxiety through the bond.
Silly Woman, calm down. There is no one here to see me. He reassured her through the bond. Not only to reassure her, but to reassure himself that she would hear him just in case something did go wrong and she and Kakarott could get out of here. He also needed her to calm down. Her anxiety was distracting him.
Good! Hurry up. We just reached the docking bay. She replied.
Excellent. I will be there soon enough, now calm down! Your incessant worrying is distracting. He replied and put up a wall so that he could concentrate. He would have to teach her to control her thoughts.
"Well, well, if it isn't Prince Vegeta himself." a voice Vegeta knew well came from down the hall behind him.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. Shit. He cursed to himself. "What do you want, Ginyu? I have things to do."
"I don't doubt that. You know, you caused a bit of an uproar last night; you and that little blue haired slave of yours." Ginyu said, walking up to the Prince. "In fact, Lord Frieza sent my entire force and myself out to look for the two of you. We searched all night. Your father sent half the Saiyan soldiers out as well. He is very anxious to speak with you."
"Well that is much too bad. I have no desire to speak with him." Vegeta replied, spinning on his heel and leaving Ginyu in the hallway. "You can tell him so yourself."
Ginyu called Lord Frieza on his scouter. "The Prince has returned. No sign of the girl, but he appears to be headed into the science wing."
"Good. We already know where the girl is. We have been told of her whereabouts. Keep an eye on our dear Prince. See to it he does not leave the palace." Frieza replied.
Ginyu remained in the hall, watching Vegeta closely as he entered one of the labs.
Bardock was not present in his lab, much to Vegeta's surprise. He had never come here and found the older Saiyan absent. If there was anyone he would have wanted to say farewell to, it would have been Bardock. Unfortunately, he did not have the time for any such sentiments anyway, so it was best Bardock was not present. The less people involved in this the better.
He quickly grabbed the blue capsule that contained all of Bulma's plans and the work that had already been done; it was exactly where she had said it would be. He put it into his pocket along with the ring he was still wearing just in case he ran into anyone else.
Vegeta exited the lab and headed hastily towards the shipping dock, to find his father, Lord Frieza, Asia and the rest of the Ginyu Force waiting for him. Shit! He raged internally, looking just over the wall, seeing the shipping dock and his ship waiting there for him, clear as day. If he flew, he could make it in about two minutes. Ginyu appeared behind him. This was just getting better and better. At least they hadn't discovered Bulma and Kakarott, or they would have dragged them out. There was hope. So long as they didn't know Bulma was on that ship.
"Well, Prince Vegeta. How nice of you to return. We were all so very worried. We weren't sure what had happened to you. I am so glad you are safe and sound." Frieza greeted him calmly.
"Where have you been?" His father bellowed at him.
"My whereabouts are none of your concern." Vegeta replied.
"On the contrary. It is all of our concern." Frieza replied. "You are my new general, your father, the King's one and only heir. You have a lovely young woman here as your promised mate. We were all very alarmed at not knowing of your whereabouts."
Vegeta clenched his teeth. He knew he could not possibly take them all out. Not without first testing out his abilities and knowing the true extent of his new found power. There were three members of the Ginyu Force he had confidence that he could with ease, but the rest? Burter; maybe if he got the upper hand immediately. Ginyu; possibly. But Frieza and his father? No. Not yet. Not all of them in one shot anyway. If he had time between, then maybe; but not all of them at once. I forgot to put on my good armor. I should have changed! Fuck my life! This was hopeless.
"Come, my dear Prince, I think it is time we all sat down to have a little chat."
Vegeta's first instinct was to rush to the ship, but he could not risk them blowing it up with Bulma inside. After a thought he nodded and followed Frieza and his father inside the palace and away from the ship. He kept his mental wall up, so as not to have Bulma worry, just in case she should decide to do something stupid and come after him.
He waited until they reached the throne room. Woman, go. Take the ship and leave now.
I have been worried sick! What happened? Where are you? Kakarott can come help! She replied frantically.
No! Do as I say! Damn it! Leave Now. I mean it! I will find you.
"Kakarott! Something's happened! Vegeta just told me to leave." Bulma said in panic. "Through the bond, he told me."
"Then we should go now." Kakarott replied, starting the ship's engine.
"No! Are you insane? I'm not leaving here without him! Please, give him some more time!" Bulma all but shrieked at him. She didn't care what Vegeta wanted, she wasn't leaving here without him.
"No, Bulma. Look, I feel bad leaving him, I don't want to go either, but I made a promise to Vegeta to get you out of here safely and that is what I am going to do. He'll find us. Don't worry." Kakarott said in an unusually serious tone.
"I can't believe you!" Bulma seethed at him, nearly in tears. "You would abandon your Prince?"
"I would to follow a direct order from my Prince. That order was to keep his mate safe at all costs even if that meant abandoning him." Kakarott replied, ignoring her and continuing to start the ship.
"Please don't! I won't leave!" she begged the younger Saiyan. She turned to head to the exit of the ship, not noticing Kakarott bolting out of the captains' seat and following her. She never made it to the door, as Kakarott gave her a quick chop to the back her head, rendering her unconscious. He caught her gently before she fell to the ground.
"I am very sorry, Bulma. But I have to keep my promise to Vegeta." The younger Saiyan said, pushing back the guilt he felt for having to do that. He hadn't hit her very hard, just enough to knock her out until they made it into outer space. He knew he would be in for an ear full once she woke up and she would probably hate him for this, but he knew ultimately that it was for the best.
Kakarott placed her in side one of the small escape pods, just in case. Things had already gone wrong. Who knew what else might go wrong?
Meanwhile…
Vegeta stood in the throne room, surrounded by everyone he hated. Kakarott had better be blasting off soon. Get some distance before they noticed the ship leaving. There was a small window in the throne room. He could see part of his ship still sitting there. What the hell were they waiting for? If she managed to talk Kakarott into waiting or coming here to help him he would beat him to death for disregarding a direct order. Then he would strangle the woman with his bare hands for not listening to him and not getting the fuck out of here when he specifically told her to do so.
"So tell us, where is that lovely slave of yours, Vegeta? Did Zarbon manage to injure her or have you hidden her somewhere? I assume that's why you felt the need to carve him up as violently as you did." Frieza said, calmly to him. "By the way, congratulations. You've been promoted."
"Zarbon crossed the line of our agreement. I was simply defending what was mine. She may only be a slave, but she is my property. Any Saiyan would have done the same." Vegeta replied. "As for Bulma, she is not here. I am finished with her." He said, silently exhaling as he noticed his ship wasn't there anymore. Good. Took the clown long enough!
"Are you sure, Vegeta?" Frieza asked him. "You simply reek of her."
"You didn't take her as a mate, did you?" His father growled. He had been able to smell her on him the moment he saw his son. "Please tell me you aren't that stupid."
"Of course not!" Vegeta scoffed as though insulted. "Why would I tie myself down to a weakling like that? She was simply a good lay. Nothing more. I finished with her last night and severed all ties."
"I see." Frieza said walking slowly up to the Prince, looking at him closely; his arms crossed behind him. "You see, I have reason to believe otherwise, my dear Prince." Frieza replied, walking slowly around the Prince, analyzing him carefully; noticing the lack of reaction from him. His face a perfect stone mask of indifference, not revealing anything. To anyone else, you'd think he couldn't care less. To Frieza, he learned over the years the more indifferent Vegeta acted about something, the more likely it was that he was hiding something.
"Why would you think that?" Vegeta asked emotionlessly.
"Well, your pretty little mate-to-be mentioned she had seen your First Lieutenant board your ship with the pretty blue haired woman who strangely enough resembled your favorite little bed slave." Frieza said, stopping in front of Vegeta. "Coincidentally, that was mere minutes before we so happened to run into you."
"I gave Kakarott leave to take her off planet being that I relieved her of her duties as my Concubine." Vegeta shrugged indifferently.
"So you are aware he boarded your personal ship just moments ago with this girl you defended so valiantly last night?"
"I am. I have no more use for her. "
"And where exactly is Kakarott taking her?" Frieza persisted.
"He is selling her for me." Vegeta replied.
"Right." Frieza nodded. "I thought you had decided to sell her to Bardock?"
"That had been my original plan, however I can make more off of selling her with her talents than what Bardock was willing to pay. As well, the Woman foolishly developed ridiculous romantic sentiments for me. We both agreed it best I send her off planet." Vegeta explained, laughing callously. "Since I did lead her on so as to have a willing bed partner, I thought it only fair I grant her the option of leaving and serving another. I charged Kakarott with making sure she find a decent master."
"I see." Frieza replied. "So you simply seduced her, making her believe you shared her sentiments."
"Exactly."
"Why did you not simply take her by force? That would have been your right."
"I am fully aware of that." Vegeta nodded, trying to think of a plausible answer and trying to stall as long as possible to give Kakarott more time to get away. "However, she being a weak as she was, taking her by force would have been of no challenge. I took more pleasure in playing with her emotions and manipulating her than in breaking her physically."
"And the pay off was worth it in the end?"
"More than worth it. She gave herself willingly, I used her, and now I let her go." Vegeta replied.
Frieza stood there quiet for a few moments as if contemplating this new possibility. It was plausible. Vegeta knew something was coming and braced himself. Frieza had him and he knew it. He wasn't dumb. His only relief being that Kakarott had taken off already. Then without warning, the Lizard Lord whipped Vegeta across the head with his tail.
The force was unbelievable. He thought his jaw may be broken. Before he had a chance to get back up, he got another heavy tail lash across his back before feeling himself being lifted up by his neck. He found himself lifted up off the ground by the Lizard Lord's tail. He tried to loosen it from around his neck, but the more he grabbed at it, the tighter it seemed to constrict around his neck. If he had truly reached Super Saiyan, now would be a good time for it to kick in, he thought in panic. He had to do something fast.
Frieza chuckled and slammed him into the ground one more time for good measure and dragged him behind him outside the throne room and outside where the docking bay was visible.
Vegeta's ship was gone, but unfortunately still visible from the palace. It was all but a small grey dot in the sky.
"My poor Prince." Frieza said shaking his head. "I honestly don't care who you fuck; or who you take as a mate. However, you have proved to have made some very stupid mistakes over the past few days. I do not care that you disposed of Zarbon. I was bored of him; it was your turn to have his position. However, you destroyed him over want of a bed slave and then disappeared."
Vegeta tried again to release the grip of his tail from his neck, but had no luck. Bulma, I am sorry. I have failed you.
"Let's hope you really enjoyed your evening with you're little slave. You didn't actually mate her, I hope." Frieza laughed at him.
Vegeta tried to kick him, but was lifted off his feet again. He felt himself sink into despair when she didn't reply to him. Maybe she was angry that Kakarott had followed his orders and he had placed a mental wall up, blocking her from him.
"I guess we shall find out. You Saiyans form a bond when you mate, correct? Should she die, she would bring you along with her, wouldn't she?" Frieza taunted him.
"Please, don't. She's gone. She will no longer be a distraction. Let her be." Vegeta grated out as best he could with Frieza's tail choking the life out of him.
"That's very sweet, but unfortunately, I am sorry. Watch closely, Vegeta. I do love fireworks; I hope you do as well. Enjoy the show." Frieza said and aimed a Ki ball directly at the retreating ship.
Vegeta watched in horror as the ship exploded. He could see the tiny debris floating down towards the ground. There was nothing left. He choked and cringed inwardly as he waited for the inevitable pain to follow immediately at the demise of his mate.
"Now that was simply stupendous, don't you think, Vegeta?" Frieza asked him gleefully. "You can truthfully say she went out with a Bang." He laughed as he dropped Vegeta to the ground.
