Chichi's Torment
Part 5
A figure of flaming gold was surrounded by a nimbus of white energy that expanded and crackled with power. Lightning crashed for miles around as boulders and debris flew and scattered like seeds. Trees uprooted and shattered, breaking against distant mountain peaks.
Goku roared his rage with fists clenched as the earth shook.
_I will purge this madness, burn it out!_
VegitaVegitaVegitaVegita...
_ I must!!_
****
The three demi saiyans squinted at the hemisphere of light that illuminated the night for miles around.
"Kami take it! Has he gone crazy?!" Goten shouted against the thunder that ripped the atmosphere.
Gohan held out his staff. "Trunks, Goten. I'll need you to be a counterforce. Strike at that sphere when we're close in."
Trunks nodded. "I'll take the east area."
"Got it. I'm west" Goten accelerated in a wide arc and was gone.
Gohan said a silent prayer. _I hope my power can help here._
****
Gohan hovered over the blinding brilliance and extended his staff. He cleared his thoughts.
_Father must know I'm here but he doesn't respond. Something consumes him and I think I know what._
He paused. Deafening bolts of power struck the sphere from opposite sides, causing a cacophony of light and sound. The ground quaked from forces unleashed. Goten and Trunks began their attack.
Gohan nodded, aiming his staff at the bright figure within. A brilliant orange haze enveloped the sphere, shrinking it momentarily.
Gohan strained. _Almost...dad...easy..._
"RURARRGGGGGHHHH!!!!"
Goku roared like a madman, extending his arms. The sphere once again began to expand wildly. The air filled with the odor of ozone.
Trunks and Goten redoubled their efforts, blasting away at the sphere. Chunks of light would break free, only to dissolve once again, forming a shield.
Vegita arrived on the scene, powering down immediately to hide his ki. He landed in a nearby meadow with a view.
_I don't want them to sense me, just yet. I would see how this turns out._
Goku turned slightly within his prison of power. Vegita?
_Now, while he's distracted!_ Gohan shouted to Trunks and Goten.
"Blast a hole in his shield. NOW!!!"
They did so. A massive bolt struck the sphere directly in front of Goku, breaking open a maw.
Gohan poured his ki into it, a cleansing wave of clarity. Goku screamed once more as he was struck directly. The gigantic sphere faded immediately as he collapsed.
Goten was there like a shot, catching him in freefall.
Gohan floated down gently, exhausted. He fell to one knee. Trunks ran to him.
"Gohan! Are you alright?"
He nodded. "Yeah. But I don't ever want to go through that again!"
****
Goten held his father as they waited for him to regain consciousness.
"Strange" Trunks noted, observing the prone figure. "He hasn't dropped out of Super Saiyan mode."
Gohan nodded, touching the damp forehead. "I sense equilibrium inside him now."
"But will it last?" Goten was worried.
"For the time being. The conflict driving him to this is yet to be resolved, but-"
A soft moan stopped their conversation. A broad hand covered Goten's.
Aqua eyes blinked open. "What...are you all doing here?"
"Dad! Are you okay?"
Goku sat up slowly, powering down. The huge flame of golden hair turned raven once more.
"I...was....Gohan? I felt your ki. You struck me?"
Gohan hugged him quickly. "You were out of control. I sent out a healing balm. I hope it helped."
Small smile. "It did. But I've got some unfinished buisness to take care of."
Trunks breached a sore subject. "Does it involve...father? We sensed him at some point, but-_
"He's here" Goku interrupted shortly. His face suddenly darkened. "Leave."
Goten helped him to his feet. "Not yet. Not until we understand everything that's going on here!"
Goku frowned, looking about. "Hmm. Vegita's muting his ki. What for? I need to see him."
They looked at him apprehensively.
Goku snorted. "I only meant to _talk._ We have a few unresolved issues."
Trunks sighed. "But why won't he show?"
"He's waiting for us to leave" Gohan was annoyed.
Goku glared at him. "So leave."
They stared at him, shocked by his brusque reply. "But what if he-"
"This is _my_ buisness, Gohan. Let your mother know I'll be home later. Go!!"
Goten started to speak, but Goku's expression quieted him. The black eyes blazed with a fire that brooked no argument.
Trunks nodded quietly. "Okay, Goku-san. Good luck...I think."
Goku immediately smiled like his old self. "Thanks guys....for everything."
Gohan stared, feeling a cold premonition. _I saw into your ki, father, and I know the truth._
He was immediately grabbed and hugged. "I know what you're thinking, Gohan. Trust me."
Gohan gave a half smile. "I trust you" _but not Vegita._
****
Goku cheerfully waved and smiled as they flew off. Vegita rolled his eyes in exasperation.
_Again with that ridiculous mask._
Goku patiently waited until they faded from sight. His smile disappeared as he turned.
"Sou ka? Come out, Vegita!" he challenged.
Vegita floated gently towards him between trees. "You knew I was nearby."
Goku folded his arms. "Of course. The kata link told me, even though you powered down."
"Hmm."
Goku took a fighting stance. "I'm here for my freedom."
The Saiyan Prince gave a soft smile. He floated closer, just above Goku's head. "What does that mean?"
"Zakkenayo" Goku growled. "Back off! If you think-"
Vegita snaked his tail between his legs and coiled it around Goku's face. The scent was delicious, intoxicating. Goku momentarily closed his eyes as the buzz came back in his skull. Blood pounded in his ears.
Vegita smiled silently as he teased his tail along the thick neck, enjoying Goku's blissful expression as the tip rubbed his nose. Goku purred, his own tail waving in contentment.
"You were saying?"
He swore, angry at himself for responding. "Baka! Enough, Vegita" he pulled the tail from his neck.
Vegita landed on his feet. "What do you want? Besides the obvious."
"I already told you. I want my freedom."
Vegita eyed him slowly. "Hai, but from what?"
"You."
The Prince sneered. "Liar."
Goku pressed into him for intimidation. "Hontou ni? We'll see about that."
Vegita stepped back a bit, glaring defiantly. Doleful eyes sparked with blazing intensity. A slow smile curved his lips.
"So we shall."
Goku shook his head quickly. That damned buzzing again...why wouldn't it stop? The serum was supposed to...
He felt weird, disoriented. The world tilted at bizarre angles. Vegita was everywhere, fragmented in his vision.
_Nande Kuso!! What the hell??_
Blood flushed to his head once more. Sweet musk assaulted his senses. It sapped his will, drained his strength. He fell to his knees.
Strong arms encircled him, pulling him down into the grass.
His Saiyan blood rebelled. "Not...so fast, Vegita. I told you, it's over between us!" he shivered nonetheless.
Soft kisses across his face and collarbone. "And as I've repeated, it will never be over. _Never!!"_
Goku gasped, realizing his predicament. Vegita's hands were everywhere, arousing him to the point of no return. Expert fingers pulled at the sash on his gi suit.
_Kami, he smells fantastic. Got to do something...anything..._
With every ounce of willpower he could muster, he sent a ki enhanced knee into Vegita's gut. The Saiyan Prince went flying.
Goku staggered to his feet, sweating. _Damn. Feel like a drunk..._
Vegita went into a full body roll and landed on his feet like a cat. He smiled ferally, wiping blood from his mouth. His tail flicked in excitement.
"Grrr. Yess. You _will_ have to fight for your freedom."
Goku took his stance. _Get ready..._
"HAYEEEYAII!!" Vegita launched himself.
"AIIIIYAAAAA!!" Goku rejoined as he flew to the challenge. The two mighty Saiyans crashed into each other.
Their hands locked. Power coruscated around them both, sizzling in a wave of energy that burned a crater in the earth below. It grew and strengthened in intensity, firing blasts of ki for miles around.
Wild raven locks blazed into sprays of gold as they powered up to maximum. Goku shuddered. It felt marvelous, heady. He laughed insanely as power and desire ripped his soul to the core. They were nova, lighting the universe.
Vegita fed into it, roaring his approval through the kata link. Aqua eyes crazed with lust and conquest blazed in an inferno of the soul.
_This...is...what...we...were...meant...to...BE!!!_
KRAKOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!
Trees flattened, rivers boiled.Their strength grew as one, twin suns speaking words of power...
Goku panicked momentarily. _No!! Don't look at his eyes..._
He abruptly broke contact, kicking free. With a crashing peal of thunder the lightning collapsed in on itself.
Flying backward Goku fired a volley of flame spheres. Vegita responded with a hail of energy shards. For an indeterminite time they lighted the skies with pyrotechnics.
"Enough!!" Vegita roared, fangs bared. He thirsted for physical contact.
Goku understood this as well. It was the Saiyan way. With a snarl he launched himself head on into Vegita. Their fists pounded away as each sought dominance. Bruises and blood were soon evident.
Vegita gave a vicious kick. Goku howled as his ribs protested, crashing to earth. He back flipped up as Vegita closed once more, smashing his fist into the royal face. They punched and kicked at lightning speed.
The battle went on for hours as they inflicted pain and injuries. Goku transmitted behind Vegita and double fisted his back with all his remaining strength. The Saiyan Prince plummeted like a comet, bouncing off the earth below.
Goku heaved, collapsing from the sky as his power level dropped. He landed with a thud near Vegita. The Saiyan Prince was out, his locks raven once more.
Goku crawled over to the prone figure. "G...'Gita? Can you hear me?" his ribs were killing him. It hurt to breathe.
Vegita heaved, lying on his back. Goku leaned over him. They were both bloody and torn.
"G...'Gita?" he rasped again, ignoring his ribs.
Familiar eyes opened painfully on him. "...Nani?"
Goku nearly blacked out as he reached to touch the bruised face. "Do you have...any senzu beans?"
Vegita struggled to a sitting position. "Hai, my chest pocket. What's left of it."
Goku slid his fingers along the bloody fabric over hot skin. _So much..._
Vegita watched him.
Goku sniffed at the pungent scent. He stared intensely at rivulets of red. _Taste..._
Without thinking he leaned forward, kissing them away. The blood tingled in his mouth.
_More..._
Mesmerized by the beautiful chest he licked, catching trails of blood on his tongue. Vegita arched, purred. His tail slapped Goku across the shoulders. Goku shivered at the delightful sensations radiating heat down his back.
"Baka. We're a mess. Get the senzu beans already" Vegita growled.
Goku jolted from his sensory pleasure. _Nande-koto-wa? Am I mad?!_ he reached into the torn chest pocket.
Vegita lay back expectantly. "My arms are too sore."
Goku nodded, understanding. He placed a bean on Vegita's lips. The hot mouth captured his fingers and sucked.
Goku hissed. "Stop. Our fight isn't over."
Vegita did his best deep throat imitation. Goku couldn't pull his fingers out.
"Vegita, please. Enough." the sight was making him hard. He wanted to fight, not...
Vegita let go, smiling. His wounds healed perfectly.
"Your turn, Kakarot."
Before he could respond, Vegita took a senzu bean and shoved it between his lips. The capsule was pressed onto his tongue.
_Taste..._
Vegita watched in delight as Goku imitated the deep throat gesture, swallowing his fingers completely. Facial bruises faded and disappeared, cuts and welts dissolved. Dark wisps of hair clung to his face from sweat.
"Mmmmmmm"
"Enjoying ourselves?" Vegita purred as Goku sucked wildly, swaying his head side to side.
_What? No. I can't let him win! Must control..._
He released Vegita's fingers. "You tricked me. Clever."
Vegita yawned casually. "Baka. We need to bathe."
Goku sat up. "Agreed. But not together!!"
The Prince stood and walked towards a stream. "As you wish."
