Vegeta laid there for hours...no. Days. His throat felt like cotton. Craning his head painfully to the right he looks up to meet the cold blue eyes of a man.
"Ah, so you're awake Vegeta," the man spoke intelligibly.
"Where......am I," Vegeta rasps. "What have...you done to me?"
The man smiles, "Good questions. I have been watching you and Goku for quite some time now. I found that you both are the perfect specimens for my experiment."
Vegeta's eyes widen, wondering what exactly the experiments are.
"You have been injected with a type of serum," the man laughs exitedly. "It is my greatest work for such powerful beings such as yourself and Goku... You're now my pet and eventually everything physically will change in you.... You won't be just a saiyan but so much more... You will prowl like an animal and you will stay by my side in loyalty." He turns to Vegeta with a delighted smile. "Isn't that nice?"
Vegeta manages to spit in his face, unable to move his limbs.
"You will soon love me and no one else my pet... You will come to call me master but for now... Dr. James Meroe will be fine." He fiddles with his golden wrist watch, his eyes never leaving Vegeta. "Sleepy time my pet. You have a long night ahead of you....."
Vegeta's heart pulses loudly inside his head, his eyes lulling into the back of his skull as his chest rose in a reflexive motion to a jolt of electricity crackling through his nerves. Tears burned his whited eyes as sparks of his own energy flew from his pores and sent shadows dancing along the walls.
Pain like this had been nothing of what he'd ever felt before, worse than what Freiza had done to him as a child...if it's possible that a human can possess a more wicked heart than he.
Would this never end? Would he ever wake up and realize it'd all been a bad dream. He could only hope... Like a child he curled into a fetal position, jolting as each wired energy flew through his body and struck his nerves. "Hel....p...."
"Help..," he cries...
Gentle hands touch his shoulders, shaking him. "Vegeta...please wake up. Don't die."
Vegeta gasps, realizing that for a split moment he had been above his body and staring down at himself laying helpess on the floor.
His hearing is the first to return, then slowly his vision and there his one and only smiled down at him with her gorgeous baby blues lined with tears.
What exactly was that? Some sort of...vision? Dream? His head spun with questions, but neither could be answered...
"Mer...oe...," he stammers, half dazed.
Bulma hesistates, she'd heard that name before. In a science convention. How would Vegeta know Dr. J. Meroe. The man was supposed to have died when she was twenty. Ten years BEFORE she met Vegeta.
"Vegeta... what did you say?"
Vegeta slowly returns to reality. "What?"
"Dr. Meroe is what you said," Chi Chi replies from behind Bulma.
Goku touches Vegeta's forehead. "Somehow, our memories were whiped out...and if that's the guy then we need to know what we're dealing with."
Vegeta sits up, taking Bulma's hand and giving it a tender squeeze to make sure that this isn't a dream as well.
"Maybe you guys need to get more sleep and then we'll talk more in the morning."
Vegeta and Goku speak no more, agreeing with their wives. For once.

Goku leans against the wall of the kitchen, watching Chi Chi construct a large tantalizing meal that had him nearly drooling all over himself.
He grins sheepishly when Chi Chi looks at him crossly as if to say "You just better wait till I'm done mister". Things had gotten better over the last 2 days, but he kept dreaming of the same thing, only this time he didn't go into convulsions. Thank God. His tail twitches at his side and to distract himself from dinner his finds himself outside, standing just 50 feet from his house.
The stars are certainly bright tonight.
He happens to glance down, noticing that he has a long shadow lined in silver beneath him.
Without thinking of his tail and it's connection with a full moon, he looks up to gaze at its white cratered face.
For a moment nothing happened, his heart rate rising suddenly.
He whipes his fore, finding that he is sweating.
He collapses to his knees in pain, groaning loudly as the light around him fed into his body and soul, changing him into something...
He clutches his head, his voice caught in his throat. He could hear his clothes ripping, his bones breaking and reknitting themselves. His legs shoot out a few inches, his shoes in tatters. "Wh..what's happening to meeee...?!"
Gritting his teeth, he raises his face to the sky, sharp canines glistening.
His nose flattens as his mouth grew into a muzzle. His eyes fall to his arm as silvery gray hair sproated from his skin.
Goku had never felt such pain and whatever is happening frightens him...
Suddenly, there is silence, the pain gone.
Pulling himself to his feet, he staggers for a bit before catching himself. The moon seemed to call him and somehow, he had to respond to its call.
Chi Chi shivers as a wailing howl rose out from the field, sending chills up her spine. "What in God's Earth is that?!"

Vegeta stops punching the air for a moment, transfixed by a sudden chill that traveled up his spin. "Ka..karotto... something's not right..."
His hands slams into the console, shifting the gravity back to Zero G. "The moon... Good God...I..."
He could feel the change. "I thought I could control my ozaru form... how...can I not now?.... I...I have to stop....n...noooooooowwwwwwwwww..........."
TO BE CONTINUED!!!! BUM BUM BUMMMMM *o*
