Chapter 3: Lost
A little while later, Bardock's pod had followed Vegeta to a barren planet and then landed getting out looking around "Now where did he go off to? Damnit.." "But why here?!" Bardock quickly searched his scouter, a signal picking up a strong power level on this planet. there was nobody here except him.. and Vegeta.. Bardock quickly followed what his scouter said and yelled out "PRINCE VEGETA! Answer me!" "DAMNIT PRINCE VEGETA!!"
Vegeta grunted as he had made it to the village only to find it was completely empty, covered with shriveled corpses and ruins all around him. He looked around before spitting and saying under his breath “Damn” as he went to search for another ship that worked anyways. Soon he felt a familiar power level, one that he recognized who it belonged to and looked around and said “Bardock.. Why is he here?!”, but then a strange feeling came over him, and he felt like he needed to get away but fell over as he clutched his chest in pain, as his legs limped as he searched for a way to escape the planet.
Meanwhile not that far away, Bardock finally felt Prince Vegeta's power signal very close from where he was, but when his eye caught a sight of Prince Vegeta, he landed and looked around. He had been told by King Vegeta his son, Prince Vegeta had some sort of illness. Bardock noticed Prince Vegeta on the ground and crossed his arms. Something looked very wrong about him.. Bardock grunted a bit as to get the Prince's attention "Prince Vegeta..what.are.you doing out here by yourself?! “You shouldn't be doing this!"
Vegeta looked up at Bardock but as he was about to replay, a sharp headache took over as he groaned feeling like he was about to throw up, as he said “What..is..going on?!”. Suddenly his body spasmed and he fell to his knees as he suddenly began to vomit blood.

Bardock said looking down at Vegeta’s body and said “You have a serious illness Vegeta, you can’t keep doing this without a little help”

Vegeta began to laugh, his eyes narrowing in as a twisted smile spread across his face “Ill, Ill you say? Hahahah!! I don’t know what you are talking about!” Vegeta hissed leaping in a blink of an eye at Bardock, his hands glowing as he was about to use a ki blast.

Bardock then noticed Vegeta’s tone of voice changed and growled getting into a fighting position “What the hell are you doing Prince Vegeta?!” as he saw the ki blast forming in Vegeta’s hands. He jumped back as the ki blast missed its target..

Vegeta watched as the ki blast missed, giving a small frustrated snort he charged himself off at Bardock, a sick twisted smile spread on his face as his fist collided on Bardock’s chest. Vegeta growled “Fight me or die!”, his body shaking in pain as he laughed.. his eyes distant like he was a completely different person.

Bardock growled as he kept his distance from Prince Vegeta and said "I guess I have no choice but to make you go back to your normal self, Prince Vegeta." Bardock was slowly regretting hitting Prince Vegeta, but to get him back to himself he'd have to fight him.

Vegeta viciously attacked Bardock, however the older saiyan was quick and was able to dodge most of Vegeta's blows, in which he was able to inflict damage back.
Vegeta felt strangely dizzy and sleepy, knowing well because of this he couldn't focus on the fight.
"Bastard...if I was...able...I would be able to finish you...off..." He slurred, his vision starting to fail him but he continued to fight on.

Bardock growled, Vegeta seemed to inflict damage back to him, but there was still something wrong with Prince Vegeta.. Bardock looked back at the sick prince and Bardock kept growling "You aren't able to keep Fighting Prince Vegeta! Damn it, stop already!" Bardock stood up, he would keep fighting for as long as Prince Vegeta decided to keep attacking him.

Vegeta growled, his vision becoming blurring as he was starting to slow down.
"NO! I wont stop...not until I hold...your bloody face in my...hands...and make you beg...me to...kill...you..." He stumbled, falling to the ground as blood spurted from his lips. Soon his body was convulsing in pain.
As soon as the pain struck him, Vegeta came back to his senses, his eyes wide in fear as he continued to spew up blood.
"Bardock...what's...wrong...with...me?" He asked, his hand reaching out to Bardock before going limp.

Bardock leaned down, showing just a bit of compassion for the Prince and wiped a bit of the blood off on his mouth.. Bardock looked at the limp Prince in front of him and thought "It's almost like Prince Vegeta's..a completely different person. when his body convulses like that.." "I can't leave him here.."

Vegeta drifted back and forth in what felt like nothingness, his world swirled of sick and decay and it felt like something was eating at him.. or someone.. was taking over
Vegeta’s flashback
"No! I don't want to!" Cried little Vegeta, his tears falling down his face
as he was being dragged down the hallway late at night.
"Have some dignity,"Snarled Dodoria, one of Frieza's henchmen.
Vegeta continued to cry, his little body threatening to go limp
as they continued down the hall...

Bardock shook the Prince, it was almost like the Prince was stuck in a past nightmare and yelled "WAKE UP!" every time he shook him...however it would only possibly add to his nightmare.

Vegeta whinced unconsciously, his body was still able to function as if it were a wake, yet his mind was gone, lost to some hidden past that feverishly broke him. Soon, sweat began to pour down his face and his breathing became ragged.
"No...st...op...no...more..." He groaned, his body curling up into the fetal position as he continued to drown further into his nightmares.

Bardock leaned down, seeing his body moving but sweat pouring down his face...possibly if he could be somebody that was good in that nightmare. it might return him back to reality.. and Bardock said "Let him go Zarbon.." "If you want a fight, I'll be happy to give one to you.."

Vegeta’s flashback/nightmare/dream
"No! Stop it!" Cried little Vegeta, tears streaming down his face as Zarbon and Dodoria ganged up on him, both
of them snickering as they dragged him down the hallway.

"Let him go Zarbon."
"IF you want a fight, I'll be happy to give you one to you..."

Little Vegeta froze, he looked up to stare up at a man that he
had met recently, his father had called him Bardock.
The man who also happened to be the father of a boy Vegeta knew.

"What makes you think...I'm afraid of you?" Zarbon said, shoving
the little prince and walking past both of them.

Vegeta groaned and his and fell into a deep slumber, his nightmare passing and now he was oblivious to the world.

Bardock slowly picked up Vegeta and took him with him to his pod and when Bardock was in there, he placed Vegeta on his lap since the pod was really only meant for one person and closed the door setting the pod for Planet Vegeta.

This was the most peaceful rest Vegeta had gained in a long time, as he was placed upon Bardock's lap he curled up and further feel into a deep, peaceful slumber. His dream was calm and it was of the days of when he was just a boy, playing in his room when he was all done his studies and training. he could recall over hearing his father talking...

Vegeta’s flashback

"What's wrong with him? Why does he act like-" King Vegeta said, walking over to Prince Vegeta and nudging the boy, watching him as he curled up defensively.
"This!" King Vegeta demanded, picking up his son into his arms to calm the boy down.
"Well..." Said Prince Vegeta's personal doctor, observing the young child as Little Vegeta gurgled, yanking at his fathers facial hair.
"I think he was highly traumatized by something or some one, that is all I can think of, it would be the only explanation for his strange behaviors..." The doctor said, taking Prince Vegeta from his father.
"What ever! Fix the problem, I can't have a diseased minded heir on the throne!" King Vegeta huffed, stomping out of the room after giving his son a cold and unforgiving stare.

"Fa...ther..." Vegeta groaned, unknowingly digging his hands into Bardock’s arms, as he clung to him as he struggled to breathe, suddenly breaking into a fever.

Bardock awoke from his sleep when Prince Vegeta dug his hands into his arms and wondered what was wrong with the little Prince... "Damnit.. What's wrong?". Bardock felt Prince Vegeta's head, he was burning up, and saw him having trouble breathing.. Bardock growled and looked farther "Shit..Computer how long?!" "The Prince is having a bad fever!" "GO FASTER!"

Vegeta's breathing began to grow shallower, his hands dug deeper into Bardock as if he was clinging onto him for life.
Vegeta soon began to become concious, his vision was blurry as he blinked up at Bardock.
"Bar...dock...help...me..." Vegeta whispered, his head falling back as he suddenly went limp.
