Forgotten Innocence

Chapter 05

Four
days had passed since the destruction of the ice planet and already, Kakarrot
had become anxious where Vegeta commanded the ship to head to next. Bored of
the vast darkness of space, he attempted to distract himself with various
attempts to see if the prince would spar with him; however, the elder warrior
just brushed him off. Perhaps it was just the madness of space starting to get
to him since he kept having strange dreams of a life he wasn�t sure was true or
false. He almost thought at times he heard them talk, but it was softer, more
distant than he was able to hear.

Wherever
Vegeta was taking them next had better be worth the all the effort.

-

�Kakarrot,
we�ll be landing in a half hour, get your ass on the bridge,� Vegeta yelled
through the closed door. Truth be told, he could have just walked in there
again, but lately, the Saiya-jin prince felt wary about Kakarrot for some odd
reason. Ever since he took Kakarrot to the arctic-type planet, the warrior seemed
unsure of himself and that bothered the prince greatly.

�Maybe he�s just antsy due to the
fact that our training hasn�t been as promising as it was in the beginning,� Vegeta mentally concluded. �If that�s the case, I will ensure his
training grows even stricter upon landing. I just hope that BREED doesn�t show
up and I manage to get Kakarrot to transform already so I can achieve my goal
and ensure my right is fulfilled.�

From
within the room unaware of Vegeta�s thoughts,
Kakarrot laid there already dressed in the armor provided; however, wasn�t
budging. His eyes were unfocused, staring at the ceiling almost in a comatose
state. Had it not been for the ragged breathing, one would have thought he had
died; yet, the amnesiac Saiya-jin himself seemed like he could have been in the
throes of passing at any time.

Unlike
the dreams or fleeting visions he had, he was trapped in one that seemed not to
end just as quickly as the others. This one was almost affecting him; entrapping him in the past as he clutched
his armored chest in what he thought was pain. His legs curled up to his chest
while he turned in the covers of his bed; fearing of death�s hand descending
upon him at any given moment.

�Why am I feeling this pain? What
the hell did I drink to deserve this?�
Kakarrot�s eyes fell upon the pillow that somehow turned into a white cat
yelling something that his ears couldn�t hear. He wanted to hear the pleas;
yet, they seemed completely eclipsed by the ragged and wheezing breaths he took
within his lungs.

A strong
blow crossed his cheek suddenly, jarring him out of his hyperventilating state
that he had been in moments ago. Sweat seemed to roll down across the already
bruising cheek as his eyes fell upon his prince in question. Where the hell did
he come from?

�Kakarrot,
I expected you twenty minutes ago,� Vegeta growled angrily. �Tell me what the
fuck you were doing��

It was
then Kakarrot couldn�t; no, had no other choice than to explain what happened.
There was no point in hiding it anymore. �I had this strange vision� of being
in pain and this cat yelling at me�� He rubbed his chest, which of course no
longer hurt like it had minutes ago when he had that oddity of a vision. Was it
a side-effect of keeping these secrets from the prince?

�How
long have you had these visions?� Vegeta questioned; growing increasingly
impatient with the amnesiac Saiya-jin.

�E-ever
since we landed on Solace, but�� Kakarrot could not speak another word before
Vegeta hissed in pure anger.

�Whatever
those visions you see are, they no longer mean anything to you. Those visions
you speak of are nothing more than the brainwashing you had gone through due to
BREED�s attempts to use you in their experiments.�

It was a
lie. Vegeta knew he was lying, but it was better that the former Earth-raised
Saiya-jin knew nothing of the planet he once protected. He knew he should have
destroyed the fucking planet before leaving for space; however, he left it
there as a token to ensure that the younger warrior wouldn�t flee to utilize
the Dragon Balls to revive it along with the life upon its surface. If he truly
remembered everything, then all of the things he had taught the warrior of
their Saiya-jin ancestry would have gone to waste and he wouldn�t be the
warrior he attempted to mold into his own splitting image.

�My
apologies Vegeta,� Kakarrot muttered. �If BREED�s still after us, then I will
attempt not to remember those unpleasant things��

�Just
come with me. We�re about to land in five minutes.� Vegeta turned and walked
towards the door as it hissed shut behind him. Kakarrot slowly rose from the
bed.

�Whoever BREED is, I will not
fall for their tricks��
Kakarrot vowed before following his prince moments later.

-

An alien
landscape much more bizarre than anything one could imagine awaited the two
when the ship landed. Pillars of stone and strange vines ensnaring the rocky
surface were the first thing Kakarrot laid his eyes on. It was though he landed
upon a planet with only fauna as a source of life on this planet. Yet, a
strange chirping suddenly called his eyes heavenward when he saw two
white-tailed, blue winged creatures circle the pale violet sky in a strange
harmony. It was though they were mates united together in some sort of perfect
union that could not be broken. Had it not been for a throat clearing, he would
have explored for more life that could have had this kind of tranquility.

�Kakarrot,
we have training to do,� Vegeta reprimanded the Saiya-jin before throwing a
fist. In a way, the younger Saiya-jin began to wonder if this fighting, this
way they trained a form of courtship or a brutal dance that united them
together. Dodging the blow, he threw one back; the very landscape they landed
in would soon become their playground and the perfection would soon vanish from
their usual violence.

-

The
water sparkled under the white sunlight as Kakarrot surfaced; splashing from
his underwater hunt for fish-like creatures. He had caught several varieties to
cook for their late afternoon lunch or early dinner. Either way, food was food
when caught by a Saiya-jin�s hand. Treading to the shore where the prince sat
idle, Kakarrot emerged from the refreshing lake they found during their spar
before spearheading the fish on a stick to cook over a roaring fire.

�Kakarrot,�
Vegeta began, �our stay on this planet will be short. We will be heading out on
purging missions soon.�

�If that
is your will,� Kakarrot did not disagree with the elder warrior. He had already
taken life a few times and knew this was something he could not disobey without
being severely punished.

�As it
stands, we need to start finding a source of income. Our ship is starting to
show wear from our spars and if we are to continue our pursuit of Super
Saiya-jin, you must be willing to take lives without showing mercy to anyone.
It�s kill or be killed Kakarrot, we cannot risk our lives needlessly.�

A
confirming nod from Kakarrot was all Vegeta needed. He took a roasting branch
of fish and began to eat. Yes, it was much easier telling Kakarrot what needed
to be done without him disagreeing and living by his earthen traits. In a way,
the accident months ago had a mixed blessing. The very power that he had seen
glimpses of were only beneath the surface and it wouldn�t be long until it was
his as well. With Kakarrot by his side, the universe would know the unbridled
fury of the Legendary Super Saiya-jins that had long
been dismissed as a fairy tale.

While
their meal continued in silence, a feminine figure watched from the shadows;
teal eyes resting upon the younger Saiya-jin.

-

It was
rare Vegeta allowed Kakarrot to explore after the two incidents on Solace and
the ice planet. Now that he had a chance to explore, the young Saiya-jin
noticed a figure jumping through the trees. Figuring it was some form of game,
he took chase before running into a net that ensnared him.

His eyes
fell upon an emerald skinned female with fiery red curls running to her thighs.
She wore the simplest blue leaves from the trees as her only source of clothing
imaginable. In her hands was a strange deck of cards.

�What
the hell is�?� Kakarrot felt her lips press against his before he smelled a
familiar scent of something he couldn�t name. It was like sandalwood and
vanilla mixed together in a unique way. The lips left his and before he could
utter a word, the woman had flipped a card that floated there within the air
followed by another until nine cards seemed to hover almost by pure magic. The
one in the middle turned over first; revealing a planet with a sword struck
through it.

�This
card represents a past that you cannot remember, a past in which you were
forced to abandon in order to spare it of destruction,� the woman began; her
voice bell-like. Kakarrot glanced at the card as the image of the planet seemed
vaguely familiar. He clenched his eyes shut, visions slamming into his head.

�S-stop��
Kakarrot muttered.

�I
cannot� not when a part of you wants
this�� the woman cryptically spoke before the card left of it turned over. This
one revealed a feminine figure and a child. Kakarrot�s eyes opened and again,
the faint visions passed fleetingly. �This one reveals the family you left
behind, the one yearning for your return even now��

�I don�t
have a family�� Kakarrot growled.

�You do,
but the fact is you have forgotten�� Another card, this time right of the
middle one, turned and it revealed a male with a knife struck through his
chest. �This card reveals the betrayal of the one you have no choice but to
trust. In order to survive, you had to discard your memories in order to remain
at his side.�

�It�s
not true�� Kakarrot whined. �...or is it?
I do want to be at Vegeta�s side, but� no, he
wouldn�t agree� we�re too different��

A card
in the left hand corner flipped over and Kakarrot noticed two birds similar to
the ones he saw in the sky earlier. �You seek unity; a unity that will ensure
that will have an anchor despite the storm you are currently in.�

�Unity?
With Vegeta? What kind of person is she?� Kakarrot thought silently. The
card to the right of that suddenly turned, revealing a crown.

�The
crown is a role of leadership that you follow. Though you have remained loyal
and true to him, you feel a sense of insignificance to him due to his blood.�

�Vegeta�s my prince! I would never��

�Yet in
time, you must see beyond his title�� The next card, the last card in that row
turned over and revealed a battlefield. ��a battle will soon take place; a
battle in which you and your prince must win��

�Win?
How do you know so much about me?�

�The
very kiss I took from you charged my cards; ensuring my reading accurate and
true,� This time, the card at the bottom left turned. It showed a dungeon and
chains. �A fate that awaits you alone will be a trial you must face head
strong. If you show any weakness, you will perish.�

�Perish?!�

The
second to last card flipped, revealing a book that had foreign writing on the
cover. Again, Kakarrot wished he knew what the text read. �In the darkest hour,
you must believe in what your prince said if you are to live. Do that and it
shall become real��

�Super Saiya-jin?� Kakarrot did not utter this
word. One vision of a golden aura flashed before his eyes; the golden hair, the
teal eyes before it faded like a ghost. Was that a Super Saiya-jin?

The last
card flipped over; however, before it fully turned, a blast struck the woman.
The final card in itself was blank before it fell to the ground. The vines that
ensnared Kakarrot gave way and he looked up to see Vegeta hovering there in an
angered state.

�Kakarrot,
our time here on this planet�s over, we are getting ready to move on,� Vegeta
roared angrily before leaving. The younger Saiya-jin turned when he heard a
gasp of air. The alien woman was still alive; however, as wounded as she was,
he knew she wouldn�t live much longer.

�Why is
the last card blank?� Kakarrot asked.

�The
last card has two fates�� the woman gasped, defying death for as long as she
could to finish her reading. �One involving your past� the other with your
prince� of those two, you will only be able to pick one path� choose wisely��
With those final words, the woman�s breathing stopped, her body limp.

Kakarrot
picked up the last card. For an odd reason, he decided it was best if he held
onto it; knowing that when he reached that fork in the road, he would only be
able to choose one path and could not turn back.

-

Another
planet vanished in fire and brimstone as Kakarrot sat in his room looking out
the portal before looking at the card in his hands. Why was he being so
sentimental over a woman who he barely knew? Sure, it was his stupidity for
believing everything at face value, but she did not harm him or even attempt
anything illegal or foolish.

�My memories or my prince?
Why did she make it so hard?�
Kakarrot lay down, sliding the card under his pillow. It was another secret he
had to keep from Vegeta; one he would be determined to carry to his grave. Just
as things started to become clear to him, he was thrown yet another confusing
and complicated curve ball and another planet vanished all because of his na�ve
nature.

�Maybe its better if I didn�t
remember, maybe then; I could be something more to Vegeta than just a tool�� Kakarrot thought silently to
himself. �If he�s right about BREED�s
brainwashing, then I can trust him with my body, my mind and my soul��

Outside
the door, Vegeta had wanted to scold Kakarrot for being stupid to fall into
what could have been a trap; however, the look on Kakarrot�s face wasn�t of
distress. He almost barged in to ask what had happened, but then, he felt the
younger warrior�s chi fall, almost though he had went to sleep. Deciding not to
press the warrior, he left the door.

�Even without his memories, he�s
still a fool and too trusting. I will ensure the first planet we�re assigned to
will quickly make him change his mind,� Vegeta mentally vowed this before heading to his
own quarters.
