CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE END OF EARTH?? IMAGE GOKU TAKES HIS VENGENCE!
Trunks walked over to the gravity controls and shut them down. The light outside turned from red to green, initializing that it was safe for people to enter now. Vegeta stood there for a few seconds with his hand on the door handle, then turned it and went inside, closing the door behind him. The chamber looked the same as always as Vegeta looked around. Trunks watched his father. He couldn’t help but smile, the anticipation building inside of him.
“Ready?” Trunks asked.
Vegeta did not have time to respond as Trunks turned the chamber back on. The increase in weighed caused Vegeta to fall over. Trunks laughed as he watched. He thought his father was playing, after all, he knew his dad better than that. However, Vegeta was not playing; the gravity pulled him into the floor. Trunks powered up to Super Saiyan to keep himself from going down with Vegeta and stood there watching as his father tried to stand up.
Vegeta never thought 500 times gravity would be so cruel to him. He forced himself to stand but the pressure continued to pull on him and it was making it harder for him to breathe. Trunks watched him wondering why he wasn’t powering up. He then realized that maybe his father was so strong he didn’t need to power up.
“Shut it off Trunks,” Vegeta said calmly trying to keep himself standing.
“Oh c’mon dad, let’s do some sparing. I want to show you want I can really do!” Trunks said as he powered up.
Vegeta closed his eyes. He felt something taking over him, something strong. He did not like this situation, it was hurting him badly. He felt his hands tighten into fists. Seeing his father do this made Trunks feel as if Vegeta was going to spar with him and he prepared himself. Vegeta clenched his teeth together. He felt his body tense as he tightly closed his eyes.
This felt just like when he was on King Kai’s planet; being blinded by that light. Vegeta now felt powerless, he couldn’t power up to defend himself and the more he stood there the more and more he became desperate. The desperation began to fuel him as he suddenly yelled in frustration. His energy increased very quickly as the whole gravitron started to shake. Trunks watched cautiously feeling the shaking. Not seeing his father show any signs of a Saiyan power up he brushed it off as nothing. As the gravity continued to pull on Vegeta, his SL energy increased until the gravity chamber cracked and in seconds exploded. Parts flew everywhere, smacking into the house, the trees and digging deep in the ground. Trunks had raised his arms up to defend himself as he watched Vegeta through them. He didn’t understand what was going on.
From inside, the loud crash of the impact from the explosion sent Goku, Gohan and the others running outside. Goku quickly assessed the situation and then saw Vegeta standing in the middle of the tiled floor where the gravity chamber once was. The tiles began to crack but before anymore could happen Goku moved in swiftly and knocked Vegeta out.
Out cold, Vegeta fell forward, but Goku caught him and gently lay him down. Piccolo walked up as Goku was turning Vegeta over. Trunks lowered his hands as Goku looked over at him.
“Are you okay Trunks?” Goku asked.
“Yeah, I think,” Trunks said as he watched.
Goku turned Vegeta over so that he was lying on his back and stared down at him. Piccolo leaned down and inspected Vegeta as well.
“That was incredible,” Piccolo said, “I didn’t know he had that much SL energy.”
Goku looked at him, “You know about that?”
“Of course I do Goku, I was a demon once, remember?” Piccolo said.
Goku nodded and then turned back to Vegeta. Vegeta quickly opened his eyes. As he did, both Goku and Piccolo backed off of him. Vegeta lay there for a few seconds and then noticed that he was outside. He sat up and looked around to see everyone staring at him. No one said anything, mostly because they were afraid of what to say. Bulma wanted to yell at Vegeta so badly. He had not even been back for less that an hour and he had already destroyed training equipment from showing off. She would have yelled but she didn’t want to break the mood. Vegeta on the other hand, had no idea what was going on. Almost as if his mind was now drawing blanks, he sat there with a half confused look on his face. The situation would have continued if Goku had not broken the silence.
