Choice Cut

A/U -POV for Goku (this occurs after \'Death of a Prince\'. Sequel to PRIME CUT.)

CHOICE CUT

Ha ha ha...at last!
(this power...unlike anything I\'ve ever felt. Nothing compares to it!)
Frieza is mine to crush!
(He\'ll pay for the destruction of Namek!)
_CRACKK!!_
(The death of Vegeta!)
_CRACKK!!_
(The destruction of my people!)
_CRACKK!!_
Bleed, you scum...I\'ll rip your heart out next!
(Silver freak...time to die!)
The creep falls back...he\'s desperate.
(His power is no match for mine!)

\"You\'re just an overgrown monkey!!\"

He\'s really pissing me off with that...
(this monkey will kick his butt!)
I batter him some more, loving the slickness of blood on my hands.
(the sound of breaking bones, music to my ears!)
I should have finished his ass earlier
(but my saiyan nature made me toy with him first.)
I feel wonderfully violent now. King Kai is worried.
(I\'ll talk once Frieza is dead!)
He thinks I\'ve lost it, that my power has changed me.
(So what? I feel too good to care!)
He throws balls of energy at me
(I block them)
He kicks and punches me
(and I beat the shit right back!)
This is what I was meant to be
(Saiyajin power set free!)
My blood races, I burn like a fever
(sweet existence I\'ve never known before)
My \'hero\' speech is prepared, just for the hell of it
(I keep a straight face and amuse myself.)
It\'s all bullshit...I just want to crush Frieza\'s skull
(and make a trophy for Vegeta\'s grave!!)
He killed my ouji, my friend Krillen.
(no forgiveness, no chance!)
Frieza tries to pummel me again.

\"A monkey can\'t beat me! You can\'t beat me!\"

No? Who\'s ass is getting kicked? Hundred percent power of yours, big deal.
(I wish there was a moon here, so I could stomp his ass like a roach.)
He backs off momentarily. I pause and look to the east.
(Ah, the dragon is here. The plan is working!)
I sense Dende as he streaks across the dark sky. He rushes to make the wish. Hurry, little spud!
(Frieza knows something\'s up. He looks east also.)

\"The dragon!! It\'s wish time!!\" he takes off and leaves me.

Big mistake. No way in hell will I let him interfere. I catch the worm and block him.
(He\'s ticked again. Like I even care.)
Our battle resumes. I get angrier, there seems no end to my rage.
(Was the ouji right about me? Am I showing my true colors?)
Frieza can\'t get past me. Then I sense something that makes my heart soar.
(Vegeta!!)
He\'s still far away, but I know my prince lives! Yes!!
(Frieza sneak attacks and breaks away. I\'ve got to stop him!)
Dende fumbles with the wish. Come on, spud!
(Frieza pauses near the dragon.)

\"Dragon! Make my wish come true...make me _immortal!!_\"

Dende!! He remembers the wish and speaks in Namekian. The dragon answers...

\"YES. I WILL REVIVE ALL THE NAMEKS AND MOVE EVERYONE TO EARTH EXCEPT FOR THESE TWO.\"

Frieza\'s about to lose it completely. He attacks little Dende, but the spud escapes. Good deal!
(Now for that skull crushing party...)
I\'m almost enjoying this. Frieza looks defeated already. He was really counting on that wish.
(but another surprise is on the way!)

\"FREIZA!!!\"

I barely turn in time to see a face most familiar. Joy!! Flying like a comet, Vegeta comes straight at us.
(My ouji lives. He lives again!!)
I feel so complete. I\'m no longer alone!!
(Typical Vegeta, he\'s furious. Frieza\'s dead meat.)
But he stops, and so does time. At least it does for me.
(I see approval in his eyes. And pride!)
Dare I think? There\' isn\'t time. I want to grab him and sing!
I feel so wild.
(I can smell his lust!)
He always wanted me.
(and knew my true power!)
Eyes dark as night burn me with fire
(the fire of the Saiyans!)
Gladly will I wait as vengeance is served
(my ouji has first rights to Frieza.)
But I dance in his eyes as he dances in mine
(A moment in eternity. We understand each other!)
There is more, but not yet.
(soon, maybe after this war?)
My blood\'s too hot right now...I can\'t think straight.
(Vegeta can\'t tear his eyes away either!)
The bald worm panics, blabbering about ghosts and how he killed the ouji.
(Fool!!)
But some inner rage fuels my prince...he glares at our enemy and prepares to strike.

\"Can a ghost do this, Frieza?!\"

The dragon\'s wish denies him the chance, as he is transported to earth in mid strike.
(I\'ll lay his head at your feet, my ouji!!)
Frieza curses me for orchestrating the demise of his wish. Tough shit.
(We\'ll fight to the end!)
We battle seemingly for days, not minutes. Eventually I get bored. His power drops with every blow.
(I taunt him, he\'s no longer a challenge.)
He calls me a monkey again...I hate that!!
(I figure I\'ll let him off the hook. I\'m not crazy, just sadistic. I want him to suffer.)
Frieza is so damn stupid. I could kill him now, yet he keeps calling me names.
(We saiyans have a weakness for toying with our prey)
I relish materializing around him, freaking him out.
(This hunt is nearly over. I\'ve got a home to get to!)
The planet\'s about to blow and I can\'t waste any more time.
(Frieza still won\'t admit defeat.)

\"Not bad moves...for a primate!!\"

If he says that one more time...
(I bitch slap him right and left.)
He\'s humiliated now. I relish the feeling.
(Time to go. Let the moron blow up with Namek!)
Still he won\'t quit, throwing energy discs at me.
(He\'s used up and doesn\'t know it.)
I try to warn the ass, but hey, he didn\'t turn around in time.
(He basically cut himself down. It\'s hilarious!)
Oh well. Lunchmeat, anyone?
(Hai, he begs for forgiveness.)
Personally, I like seeing him all chopped up.
(Vegeta was right, Super saiyans tend to be violent!)
One last heroic speech to give, I suppose.
(I love being dramatic.)
I tease his fate by giving him a little of my power. He can at least move around some.
(of course I\'ll still leave him here to rot and blow up!)
The slug thinks to turn on me one final time. Big mistake.
(I fly off. He calls me a monkey for the hundredth time. The fool needs some new dialogue...)

\"Now you will learn what it means to mess with the most powerful being in the universe!!\"

I turn in time to see a blast directed at me.
(Goodnight, Frieza. It\'s been real.)
I send it right back and destroy him with my power.
(Kami, that felt good!)
Namek is nearly gone. I manage to find a ship that\'s intact.
(Come on, you piece of junk! I want to see my prince again!)
A surge of power, and I\'m away from this doomed world.
(No time to plot a course. Just punch some buttons, dammit!!)
I careen out of control into space.
(Later I wake up, bruised and no longer a super saiyan. But I live!)
It\'s quiet in space. Now I can think and contemplate as I heal.
(I miss you, Vegeta. No doubt you think me dead.)
You\'re probably celebrating. I know how badly you want to be the most powerful warrior in the universe.
(But the saiyan in me understands this. I\'m not angry, I expect it.)
I love surprises. What will you say when you see me alive?
(And I _will_ return, my ouji!!)
I feel what grows between us.
(We need to talk seriously.)
No more uneasy alliances, no more denials
(I weary of half answered looks loaded with lust!)
No more false hatred
(I know, Vegeta. I know...)
You\'ve tried to hide what\'s in your heart.
(You forget I can read emotions.)
I think back to when you wanted me to join you.
(the pain in your expression when I mentioned \'family\' burned my mind)
Though I didn\'t trust you some instinct told me you were sincere
(I sensed your high regard for me. You wanted more between us then!)
So I ignored every cutting insult, every mindless name.
(Laughing and knowing of your love!)
You\'d never express it...you were too hard, too bitter.
(But your passions always moved me...I wanted to feel them.)
When you saw me as super saiyan, I nearly melted.
(I could feel the heat of your gaze on my skin!)
You showed me my heritage, broke through my own denial.
(I must accept it all, terrible though it may be.)
But my new power has changed me. I feel...different.
(So difficult to control!)
Darkness is at the edge of my being. I must learn more about being a super saiyan!
(You want my secrets, ouji? All in due time...)
I\'ll show you mine if you\'ll show me yours.
(Hai, sexy, ne?)
I wonder if you\'d blush.
(This power phase is difficult. I expected to feel the same.)
Not true!
(I must gain control now while I still can. The desire for conquest is too tempting.)
Rage burns my soul. I can\'t return to earth like this.
(I must find a quiet planet to train on.)
Patience, my prince. The blood boils, I know.
(Am I not worth a small wait?)
I may reconsider your first offer
(I was more tempted than I let on. I am saiyan, after all!)
Adventure and combat are food to me as well.
(You know me. The others think I\'m insane.)
When I return we will discuss matters.
(No more lies!)
I will crush your arrogance
(and win your heart!)
Break your icy shell
(and confound your soul!)
Heat your body
(and burn your blood!)
You belong in my arms...and in my bed!

\"Vegeta...you are mine!!\"


THE END
