Fourth Chapter : The Revenge
____________________________________________________________

You'll take a false step,
You'll make a mistake,
each time you try, you fall
and stand up again,
stand up again, or 
you'll take a false step.

By, Chi Chi, taken from her poetry notebook, fragment of a poem called "A
False Step"
___________________________________________________________________________

When King Vegita came to Earth, he calculated every detail about his plan
in revenge. But, even so, he didn't count on Goku, Gohan, Goten, Trunks and
even the supposedly weak, coward and pathetic traitor Vegita were Super
Saiya-jins, even though only one should appear every millennia. The last
Super Saiya-jin, according to some records, in the majority, legends, the
last Super Saiya-jin was called Galbretoruis (quite a mouth-full) and lived
before even the Vegita dynasty appeared, about 200 years later ...

By, Bulma Briefs, taken from her book "An attempt to enter the Saiya-jin
culture" chapter 6, page 74.

***************************************************************************

Dantreo is in his lab coat, working some more in the configurations, but
not really the ones Vegita wanted. He would save himself and his race from
this humiliating slavery. He had it all planed out, he would be coming with
Vegita without being seen. He had seen enough of the future to make a whole
plan, without telling Vegita about the five Super Saiya-jins, that would
spoil things. He smiled. Vegita thought he had all the power, he believed
he had everything and everyone under him and controlled, but he didn't
count on him. He was terribly sad at not being able to tell everything to
Chuntra, of course, he would decipher it sooner or later, but  it would be
too late for him to make an active part in the liberation of his race. This
was something he needed to do alone, and he didn't think Chuntra would
understand. He signed, left his thoughts alone and continued working, after
all he was working for the King. He laughed out loud at the thought and
continued working, under the suspicious looks of Chuntra.

Vegita was more disturbed than usual, Nappa decided. Raditzu was still in
his appointed mission and had left Nappa alone with a very moody Vegita.
Nappa signed. He sometimes was just bored, he craved for a good fight,
watching the fear in his victim's eyes, feeling the blood in his hands. But
he was part of the Elite, he couldn't do that very often, and the spares
with Vegita always left him to feel weak. Vegita love sparing with him and
humiliating him, making him suffer. Just as him, Vegita loved seeing fear.
He never had a chance. It was difficult, even in his private thoughts, to
think of someone being stronger than him, but this case was different,
Vegita was the king.

Vegita was exasperated. He didn't understand why those worthless Tunderoids
were taking so much time. Just for that, he decided, they would have a slow
and painful death in the arena. With that settled in his mind he continued
trying to sleep, thing that even he had to do.

In the present :

Goku : Ubuu, there's danger coming, I can feel it.

Ubuu : Nani ?

Goku : Honto. I really feel it this time, each time there's danger coming,
I feel something...

Ubuu : What could it be ?

Goku : I have no idea, but I intend to find out.

Meanwhile ...

Videl : Are you sure you don't want me to help you ? Five Saiya-jins will
be present..

Chi Chi : I know, its going to be lots of work, but I can do it.

Videl : Well, if you want, thanks for the invitation.

Chi Chi : You're welcome, jaamata !

Videl : Jaamata !

Well, that settled the Briefs, the Son, Yamcha, Tenshinhan couldn't come.
Now Krilin's.

Krilin : Konban wa. With who do you want to speak ?

Chi Chi : Konban wa Krilin !

Krilin : Hey ! Chi Chi, how are you doing !

Chi Chi : Fine, fine. Look, I called you to tell you that I'm inviting some
people over to eat, would #18, Marron and you come ?

Krilin : Itsu ?

Chi Chi : Tomorrow night.

Krilin : Wait a minute...

... In the background...

Krilin : #18 Chi Chi is inviting us over tomorrow night for dinner. Do you
have any plans ?

#18 : No, where's Chi Chi ?

Krilin : Over the phone.

#18 : Let me speak to her.

.....Normally ....

#18 :Konban wa Chi Chi !

Chi Chi : Konban wa, are you coming ?

#18 : (laughs) How fast ! Ok. We'll go...

Chi Chi : Sankyoo ! Jaamata !

#18 : You're welcome, jaamata.

#18 smiled. She had mellowed a bit in the past years, but she would be mad
if Krilin saw her smile now. She was sort of fond to Chi Chi, (in her own
way) but she wouldn't admit it to anyone, barely to herself. She heard
Krilin calling her and she went to the kitchen ...

Meanwhile :

Bulma is surrounded by bits and pieces of gadgets, in a plain, gray
overall, already dirty with grease. She wipes the sweet from her brow,
grimacing when the oil in her hand smudged her face. I'm a mess, she
thought, and continued repairing the robot Vegita had destroyed while
training. She signed. Ever since the battle with Buu he had continued
training, but this last week he has been insane. Of course, he was always
insane, in what training was concerned, but, suddenly he began acting even
worst. She signed again, tried to wipe the oil from her face with the back
of her hand, smudging it even more. She jumped startled when he felt
someone on her back.

Bulma : Kuso ! You scared me Vegita ! !

Vegita : Hahahaha, woman, get accustomed to it.

Bulma : My name is Bulma, not woman.

Vegita : To me you're woman, the ugliest and stupidest woman I have ever
seen (he said gently)

Bulma : Yeah ! Well, for your information, baka, your stupid and ugly woman
was trying to fix the robot you damaged with your senseless training before
your majesty decided to come and bother me and have fun. Now let me alone,
go train.

Vegita : Tsk, tsk, what a temper. But, woman, I haven't finished having my
fun.

He got nearer to her and bit her nose, non too gently.

Bulma : Vegita, I'm busy (she said meekly).

Vegita : That can be fixed.

He grabbed her by the waist and swung her over his shoulder, not paying
attention to her meek protests ...

Meanwhile ...

Krilin : Hasn't Marron been acting strange lately ? She has been humming by
herself, writing in that poetry notebook, sighing, and even doing
everything I tell her to do ?

#18 : And that is bad ?

Krilin : No, but ...I'm worried.

#18 : Oh ! There's nothing to worry about.

Krilin : Do you know what's wrong with her ?

#18 : There's nothing wrong with her.

Krilin :Then ...

#18 : She's in love.

Krilin : What ? ! She is sixteen years old !

#18 : At that age you were fighting monsters and saving the world.

Krilin : But this is different..

#18 : (raising an eyebrow) How ?

Krilin : She's too young to...

#18 : Nonsense and you will not say anything to her.

Krilin : Buuttt....

#18 : What ?

Krilin : Who is the boy ?

#18 : Trunks.

Krilin : Trunks ! ? ! ? ! ?

Bulma's Journal, 760 days after the last Tenkai-ichi Budoukai :

Today I worked very hard on the robots that Vegita damaged while training
in the gravity room. In these days he has been training more than usual (if
that's possible). I'm worried. He usually does that when danger is near.
What could happen now ? Could there be a danger worst than Buu ? I'm a
little scared now. I'm working in a capsule project too. Chi Chi is going
to have her big dinner tonight, so I better put on something nice ...
