Vegeta awakens in a dark room alone. He looks around and growls, the hunger was strong... He had to have it or he'd go insaine. He looks around for a way to escape but found none. He finds a small glass window only inches in width and length at the top of a double bolted door. He growls. They certainly had done their homework, but he was different from most vampires. He had even more power due to what he used to be when he was alive. He smirks.
Goku peeks through the glass and finds Vegeta staring eye to eye with him. It made him shiver to see the way Vegeta was looking at him. Suddenly, at a blink of an eye, Vegeta's hand shot through the glass and grabs Goku's shirt.
Goku yells in surprise and tries to free himself. He steps back wriggling in his grip, ripping the shirt away from his body and leaving him just in his pants and shoes. Goku's eyes widen. He stares at the small broken glass window as pieces of glass were scattered across the floor. Vegeta has totally lost it...
Bulma runs over to Goku with wide frightened eyes as her son stood closeby. "Son Kun, wh...what happened?"
Goku turns to Bulma. "I was looking into the little window when suddenly Vegeta leaped at me and brought his hand through and grabbed my shirt. He's...going crazy in there."
"Kaasan, is papa a vampire?"
Bulma frowns. "Trunks, your father is nothing of what he used to be. He can't help it that he was turned into what he is, but hopefully we can cure him. First, we have to find the dragonballs."
Goku turns when he hears loud banging from within the seclusion room that held Vegeta. "Shimatta."
The metal door to the room suddenly forms a dent in its center as Vegeta continues beating upon it.
Goku backs away. "You guys better get back, Vegeta isn't going to be himself when he comes out."
Bulma nods and grabs Trunks, holding him tightly in her arms.
Vegeta sends a final blow to the door, causing it to be thrown into the wall across from it. Vegeta emerges from the room, eyes glowing and fangs bared.
Goku frowns. "Vegeta! Fight it!"
Vegeta frowns and lunges at Goku.
Goku blocks Vegeta's punch and takes Vegeta's arms and throws him over his shoulder to the crumbling wall.
Vegeta flips up and stops himself before he hits the wall and turns to Goku, growling angrily.
Goku steps into a fighting stance. "Get you and Trunks out of here. Vegeta is to dangerous right now."
Bulma nods and begins edging away from Goku, heading to the next room where she and her son would be safe.
Vegeta notices this and flies over to stop Bulma. He could hear their rapid pulses within his head. He could almost taste there blood gushing into his mouth. He bares his fangs, ready to strike at the first living thing that he could catch.
Goku moves to block Vegeta, but is surprised to be thrown aside with such great force that it knocked the wind out of him and sent him sprawling to the floor. Goku quickly gets up, ready to fight, but his eyes widen when he realizes that he is too late.
Bulma screams as Trunks runs from her arms.
"PA PA! Stop this NOW!"
"NOO, Trunks! STOP!," Bulma screams as tears flooded her eyes.
Trunks eyes widen when his father doesn't stop and continues charging. "NO! Papa! STOP! AIIIEEE!"
Vegeta grabs Trunk's arm, digging his claws into him. His screaming was exciting him, and he quickly sinks his fangs into Trunks's neck, feeling the rush of blood flooding his mouth. Vegeta could feel the boy's pulse throbbing within his mouth as he pushes his fangs deeper into his main artery.
Trunks wriggles in Vegeta's grip, trying to free himself, but to no such avail. "Papaaaa.....," Trunks whines. "Please s..stop..."
Goku wasn't sure what to do. If he tried anything Vegeta may very well kill his own son without hesitation. He frowns, "Damnit."
Vegeta could feel himself regaining control. Trunks....
"Paapaaa....stop," Trunks whimpers as he struggled weakly in his father's grip.
Vegeta growls, trying to fight the monster from within him. If he drank anymore, his son would die. He blinks, returning to the real world to find his face smothered into his son's neck. Vegeta pulls away from Trunks, his face smeared with his son's blood. His eyes widen. "Oh god...."
He drops Trunks in surprise and steps back. Vegeta was scared, he couldn't believe what he almost had done to his son. He was a monster... Vegeta turns to Goku to see his friend staring at him with wide eyes. "No..." Vegeta screams, "NOOOO!" Vegeta bolts down the hallway, trying hard to keep the flood of tears from escaping his eyes, but to no such luck. "NOOOO!!"
Goku glances at Trunks. He had to stop Vegeta, but he couldn't abandon Trunks and Bulma.
Bulma looks up after checking her son. "Go, Son Kun... I will take care of Trunks. Please, save Vegeta..."
Goku nods after only a brief hesitation. He runs down the hall after his friend, hoping that there was a way of helping Vegeta cope with this dilema till he and Bulma found the rest of the dragonballs. They'd only succeeded in collecting two of them so far before dusk had set in. Now he finds himself searching for Vegeta throughout Capsule Corp. Since Vegeta was dead, he couldn't feel his ki and it was making it harder on him. Good thing Goku knew his way around this place or he'd be lost for sure. He turns a corner and then his sensitive ears picked up a slight noise. Of....crying?! He stops in his tracks to find a room just ahead of him; he could hear light sobbing coming from that room. "Vegeta..."
Vegeta couldn't control himself and he was scared. Scared of what he'd become and scared because he had his son's blood on his face and hands. He looks up with a jerk to see Goku approaching him. "STAY BACK!," Vegeta screams as he tries to bury himself further into the corner of the room.
Goku had never seen Vegeta like this. He was huddled in a corner and crying like a child. He's scared... "Vegeta... I want to help."
"GO AWAY!" Vegeta presses his face into the corner. He could hear Goku's heart beat. His canines throbbed from the taste of blood that still lingered in his mouth. He claws at the wall trying to get away from Goku, but he wasn't doing a very good job of it.
Goku kneels before Vegeta, his hand hovering over his back. "Vegeta..."
"DON'T TOUCH ME! GET AWAY! *sob*"
Goku rests his hand on Vegeta's back.
Vegeta flinches. He could feel Goku's strong heart throbbing and echoing into his head. "I can hear it..."
Goku raises an eyebrow. "Nani?"
"I can hear your heart beat..."
Goku's eyes widen. That's why he's acting crazy. The sound of the heart beats from me and...
Suddenly, a loud crash could be heard from the hallway, interrupting Goku's train of thought.
Jedi appears out of the darkness. A smirk crosses his lips as Emerald, Snake and Dias appear close behind him. "We've come for Vegeta."
Goku steps into a fighting stance.
Vegeta looks up and his eyes widen when he realizes who Jedi is holding under one arm. "Trunks."
Goku frowns. "Let Trunks go or you'll be sorry you ever crossed me."
Jedi smirks. "Try if you might Son Goku. You won't beable to kill me, you'll only be waisting your time."
Emerald smiles, "Shall we take care of him Jedi?"
Dias frowns.
Snake chuckles, "I want his blood. He is strong..."
Jedi moves a hand in front of Snake. "Dont, he is mine."
Emerald frowns. "Hmph, you always get to have all the fun."
"It's what I enjoy most," Jedi replies.
Dias looks over at Bulma who is staggering down the hall, ignoring the deep gash she had in her leg.
The only thing on Bulma's mind was to save her son.
Dias glares at Bulma. Stop Bulma or you'll die. I promise you, I'll allow no harm to come to your son.
Bulma's eyes widen as she came in eye contact with Dias.
Dias turns away from Bulma with a smile. I won't let your son die. I'm here to help you, just don't tell anyone or Jedi will kill me.
Bulma gulps and steps back, understanding what Dias had telepathically told her.
Dias turns to Jedi, her face set into a frown. No more pain...
Vegeta grits his teeth. "No, let him go. It's me you want. Release my son..."
"I'm afraid I can't do that Vegeta because your son is bitten again within the next 24 hours, he'll become a full vampire. He is so young and has much to learn about being one of us. He stays with me for now on," Jedi replies. "Step aside Goku or I'll be forced to kill you."
Goku growls. "No."
"Very well then...," Jedi replies with a growl.
At lighting speed Jedi had Goku by the throat and is holding him up in the air. "You dare underestimate the power of Jedi. Even if you are a saiyan and you are the strongest fighter in the universe, you'll never surpass me now that I have Vegeta's blood coarsing through my veins. You are nothing but mere child's play to me."
Goku's eyes widen. He's telling the truth! No, I can't let it end this way! I must fight, for everyone. They are depending on me and I must summon all of my strength to fight him... even if it kills me. Goku smirks. "You forget one thing Jedi, Vegeta isn't as strong as me, so you're the one out of luck." Goku allows himself to go supersaiyan and he throws a punch in Jedi's stomach, sending the vampire flying back. Goku massages his sore neck. Man, he's got one hellavuh grip. He's strong, but I'm stronger.
Jedi growls, dropping Trunks. "Emerald, Snake, Dias... take the boy away. I'll deal with Goku myself."
All three vampires nod.
Snake takes Trunks under one arm and flies up through the hole in the roof they'd made. Emerald follows close behind, not noticing that Dias wasn't following. (Emerald's got a brain the size of a pea. Basically, she's an airhead)
Dias steps back into the shadows as Jedi and Goku began to fight. She runs down the hall and helps Bulma to her feet. "We must go now! I promise you I'll go to retrieve your son and you'll have the right of killing me if he dies."
Bulma is barely able to answer as the amount of blood loss was making her weak. Dias frowns, "Kuso."
"The lab," Bulma stutters. "Down...the hall........to your...left."
Dias nods and runs at full speed and she turns sharply to the left to find herself in a lab. "Now what?"
Bulma points to a cabinet at the far end of the room. "There..."
Dias takes Bulma to the cabinet and opens it.
"Look for the small brown pouch and hand it to me," Bulma whispers.
Dias grabs the pouch from the top shelf and hands it to Bulma. She watches with interest as Bulma opened the cloth bag and pulled out one of the many dry beans that are inside.
Bulma pops a bean into her mouth and chews. She smiles as her wounds healed and her strength returned. She stands up and nods to Dias. "Arigatou."
Dias nods with wide eyes. "I'll ask about that later, but now we must save your son."
Bulma nods, placing the pouch in her pocket, knowing full well that Goku may need a bean later. "Why are you on my side?"
Dias sighs. "It's a long story, but I was turned into this against my will. The only reason I obeyed Jedi was because he is much stronger than I... I have no desire to kill, but I must to beable to live."
Bulma nods. "Well, welcome to the team." She extends her hand to Dias and the vampire takes it.
Dias shakes Bulma's hand once and releases her hand. "Now, we must hurry."
"Hai," Bulma replies.
Vegeta could only see the world as a blur as he could feel the hunger returning. He hadn't gotten much from Trunks and now he was hungry again. He can feel his canines slowly growing nimble from within his mouth as he clutched his head in agony. The pounding of Goku's strong heart was so loud in his head that he though he would scream. The closer he got to a living being, the louder the heartbeat got and he had to get away before he killed Goku as well... if he even could kill Goku. He looks up. "I have to end this." I must stop Jedi! Vegeta lunges at Jedi's back and tears into the vampire's back.
Jedi cries out in pain, dropping Goku in the process. "You fucking bastard! I am your lord, you dare to attack me?!"
Vegeta grits his teeth, fangs glistening in the pale moonlight that shone through the hole in the roof. "When it comes to my family and friends, it gets personal."
Jedi frowns. "You will die for your insolence!"
Vegeta smirks, "Pity, I'm already dead thanks to you."
Jedi frowns, realizing his own mistake in words.
Goku smiles, taking Jedi's distraction as his chance to kill him. Goku's eyes widen when he hears a woman's voice in his head. "Remove his head and severe the spine... Afterwards, burn his head and he will die."
With a yell, Goku lunges at Jedi. Jedi turns around in surprise as Goku's foot caught under his chin. Jedi's eyes widen as he feels his head being disconnected from his body. "No..."
Vegeta's eyes widen as Jedi's blood sprayed in all directions.
Goku watches calmly as Jedi's head landed on the floor with a sickening thud as his body fell lifeless to the ground. Goku raises his hand to the air, allowing his golden ki to surround it. He lowers his hand and shoots a ki blast at Jedi's head, burning it on contact. Goku watches with emerald green eyes as the lord of vampire's body was reduced to ash.
Vegeta stood silent as Goku powered down out of supersaiyan.
Goku grins. "He wasn't that strong after all, but I wonder who's voice I heard..."
"It was me," Dias replies.
Vegeta and Goku look up in surprise to find Dias standing at Bulma's side, hands on hips and smiling.
