"Why if it isn’t the little Prince," Frieza snarled.
"Monster, have your men unhand me, or suffer the consequences," Vegeta said proudly.
"I don’t think so." Frieza licked his lips hungrily. "I’m sure your father will pay a nice reward for the return of his son. And in the meantime, I can have a little fun." Vegeta shuddered at those words, he’d heard the rumors of what the Prince of thieves did to his male captives, and he felt sick at his stomach just imagining what would happen to him. "Tie him up. Kill the others."
Vegeta struggled against Frieza’s men, slightly overpowering them. He struck one, then another. When they were all down he ran into the forest praying that Frieza would not follow. His prayers were not answered. Frieza saw his beautiful prize escaping into the forest and gave chase immediately.
Vegeta kept running, dodging shrubs and trees until he ran right into a wall. Falling backwards on his rear, the Prince looked up to see that his ‘wall’ was really a large horse that was as black as night. But it wasn’t the horse that caught his eye, it was the rider; Vegeta rose to his feet and looked him in the eye. The stranger looked back with bright green intelligent eyes. Vegeta noticed the noble clothing that the stranger wore: the purple cape draped over strong broad shoulders, a deep blue shirt covering a muscled chest and matching blue pants. The outfit was completed with rich brown leather boots.
"See something you like?" The stranger smirked; Vegeta frowned slightly at the comment. They were interrupted when Frieza’s hideous form burst into the clearing.
"Goku!" Frieza hissed.
"Frieza" the rider answered coldly.
"Give me the Prince."Frieza demanded. "He is mine!"
"Prince? You mean Prince Vegeta?" Goku asked looking into Vegeta’s eyes once more.
"Yes you fool." Frieza answered, taking a step toward Vegeta.
Goku stepped down from his horse and approached Frieza. "Get behind Black." Vegeta nodded wordlessly and did as told. He peered from behind the mighty steed and watched as Goku drew out his sword.
"Is that a challenge?" Frieza asked eying the blade.
"Yes."Goku nodded.
"Very well, we will fight for the Prince." Frieza said drawing out his own sword.
The two eyed one another warily. Frieza struck first thrusting his sword toward Goku. Goku easily dodged, and attacked, the tip of his blade grazing Frieza’s sword arm. And enraged Frieza plunged his sword toward Goku who twisted out of the way. Frieza was fairly outraged because now he knew that Goku was toying with him, he wasn’t even trying. Frieza let out a roar and ran at Goku. The warrior remained calm and sliced Frieza’s head off with one swift movement. It fell and rolled under a nearby bush, hiding the hideous expression of pain.
"Are you all right my Prince?" Goku asked as he turned and bowed to Vegeta. "Did he harm you before you escaped?" He kneeled down to wipe his blade on the grass removing the blood before re-sheathing it.
Vegeta shook his head, speechless for the first time. Goku smirked, making Vegeta turn red with anger. "I’m fine." He said gruffly.
"In that case, I’ll be on my way. I wouldn’t want to keep you from your royal affairs." He chuckled.
"Wait." Vegeta paused.
"Yes."
"I need to get back to the palace... will you take me there?" Vegeta asked.
Goku climbed into his saddle. "Maybe, if you say please."
"Will you please take me to the palace?" Vegeta asked.
"Very well." Goku held out his hand and helped Vegeta into the saddle.
