slight smut warning

"NEEDLE!" I nearly scream in response to Goku's shouting. As injured as he was, he managed to thrash wildly and try to squirm away from Krillen and Gohan.

"GOKU!" I bellow and stomp over to him, my fingers latching onto his ear and tugging him into the room. "GET YOUR ASS BACK IN HERE AND DON'T AGITATE YOUR WOUNDS ANY FURTHER! YOU'RE NOT GETTING A NEEDLE-- GOD, YOU'RE SUCH A CHILD!"

"WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP?!" Vegeta shouted back to us as Goku began complaining about my grip on his ear.

After calming him down, we loaded him into a giant pod, and we all watched as it filled up with liquid. "How is this machine supposed to get Goku back up to speed?" I ask curiously.

"It's an isolation chamber. The liquid in the capsule is synthetic Saiyan DNA, which will penetrate his every pore and make him good as new!"

"Wow... We don't have anything like this on Earth..." I murmur and move around to gaze at the tanks. "I wonder if they have the chemical composition somewhere around here..." I keep murmuring to myself as I tap away at the screen after shoving Vegeta aside with me hip.

"This chamber is one of the older models, but it shouldn't take too long before Kakarot's back to normal!" Vegeta mentioned after glaring at me for a moment.

"What happened to the newer ones?" I ask.

"I kinda broke them... But don't worry, this one will work just fine." Vegeta shrugged.

"Ah, he's not going to drown in there, is he?" Krillen asks.

I chuckle. "No way, Goku's not that stupid." I explain.

"Everything is operating perfectly. As for you two, I think a little armor might help you out." Vegeta suggests to Krillen and Gohan.

"Excuse me, but what do you mean, armor?" Krillen asks.

"Yeah... that was my next questions." Gohan added.

"Is there a shower? I feel filthy." I ask curiously. Vegeta just scoffed and walked off, leaving us to follow. He led us into a high tech room. "Ooh~" I coo as I gaze at the fabric sitting inside the containers.

"Here, put these on under your regular clothes. Hurry! There isn't much time!" A full spandex suit hit my head and nearly fell to the ground. I gazed at the black cloth with a grimace. "Is there a problem, woman?!" He asked irritably.

"I need a shower! And if you think I'm going to fit this over my giant ass, then you deserve that stupid wish!" I shout at him. "Now find me a separate bathroom to change!"

"WHY ARE YOU SO DEMANDING?!" Vegeta snapped at me.

"YOU BETTER FIND ME A SHOWER! I AM NOT WALKING AROUND SMELLING LIKE SOME SORT OF ANIMAL!" I screech at him.

Krillen and Gohan just stared at us curiously. "Whatever-- Just come on!" He stormed out after grasping my wrist. He led me into a pristine washroom. Showers lined the walls, urinals sat just across from them; it was definitely no place for a woman. I hummed softly and set the spandex down as Vegeta slumped onto one of the benches, seemingly forgetting that I'm still there.

"Hey..." I hum softly. Vegeta flinches and turns his glare on me. "You should probably take care of your injuries. Is there a med kid here?"

Vegeta grumbled irritably and gestured to the sink before tugging off his armor and peeling off the top part of his spandex. I gaze underneath the sink and tug it out with a grin. It's lined with everything you'd need for any common place injury. I'd been so wrapped up with the kit, I hardly noticed Vegeta approaching from behind. I let out a shrill squeak as he presses up against me, his palms digging into the counter in front of me.

"Wh-What are you doing?" I hiss irritably as I attempt to shove him off.

"You're the one waving your ass around." Vegeta retorted irritably, one hand sliding from the counter and up my side, causing goosebumps to erupt off of my skin. "Why are you so irritating..." He growls and pushes my torso over the counter. I can't even struggle against him. My lower stomach is tightening in response, and my heart won't stop hammering violently.

"Let-- Let go of me--" I bite. I let out a squeal of surprise as Vegeta sinks his teeth over the edge of my hip. It's like an electric shock, and it causes my core to start aching for something more. I attempt to shove him off again, and this time, it works. He steps back, his face slightly flushed. Like he's confused as to why he's there, and I vaguely wonder what the hell is wrong with him. "GET OUT!" I shout at him and shove the med kit into his arms. I start shoving at him until he's cursing loudly and stumbling out of the room with his spandex still at his waist. I turn around, grasp his top armor and throw it at him before making the door shut and lock. My entire body is shaking and I can't stop the throbbing on my hip. I stumble over to the sink again and turn around, Goku's shirt is bunched up at my rib cage. I slowly tug down my shorts and gape at the perfect crescent bruise forming on the curve of my hip, right where the curve of my ass begins. "St-- Stupid idiot--" I stammer as my face flushes. I turn on the shower and hop in, soaking my clothes immediately as I attempt to cool down my overheated skin.

~*****~

I gazed down at the spandex fitted over my body like a second skin. I'd completely soaked my clothes trying to calm down, and had to wear this stupid body suit. If you could call it that. It didn't have any legs to it. I suppose it was the only female outfit on the ship for the rare female warrior. I gazed at my soaked shorts meekly before wringing them out and tossing them over my arm as I stepped out of the room.

I throw my hair up in a loose bun and sulk towards the healing rooms. I halt in the doorway as I gaze at the man sleeping besides the pod. My throat convulses as I swallow though the thick knot in my throat.

I shake my head and go outside instead, where I see Krillen and Gohan getting ready to leave with a few of the Dragon Balls. "Mara-- Just in time!" Gohan exclaims as he hurries over to me after dropping the balls.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"We're going to summon the dragon and make our wish. We need you to distract Vegeta if you can." Krillen explains.

"B-But he's asleep." I murmur.

"Yeah, and if he wakes up while we're moving the Dragon Balls, it'll be bad news." Krillen states.

I bite at my lip in irritation and shuffle on my feet for a moment. There was probably only one way that I could distract him. "F-Fine..." I murmur. "Just be quick about it, got it?" I snap. Krillen nods as I run back inside.

I'd hoped he would still be asleep by the time I entered the room, but he was waking up slowly. "Is the cue ball back yet?" Vegeta murmurs sleepily.

I shift my weight on either foot and gaze at my bare feet. "N-No..." I stammer. "I just..." I pursed my lips and stepped towards him. The Saiyan went on guard immediately. I slipped onto his lap and kissed him. And I'd forgotten about distracting him.

Vegeta had one hand cupping my ass and the other buried tightly in my hair as he devours me whole. He tastes like red wine. One that I'd drink during a fancy dinner at Bulma's house. I could taste his lust on the tip of his tongue.

"What's wrong, woman? You were pushing me away earlier," Vegeta sneered, his eyes shimmering with such a carnal look. His hands smoothed over my front before grasping at the collar of the suit and tugging downwards, trapping my arms to my sides and baring my chest. "Well, aren't you a beautiful creature?" He growled appreciatively before attacking the soft swells of my breasts.

"F-Fuck--" I stammer as he laves the flat of his tongue over one of my nipples. Goose bumps erupted over my skin again, my hips began gyrating against him in response. I couldn't stop it. "W-wait--" I stammer. "Don't-- Don't suck so-- so hard!"

"You asked for this, woman," Vegeta growled as he tugged and teased at my other breast. He slammed his lips against mine again as he kept tugging and twisting at them. "If I had more time, I'd fuck you like you deserve, you mewling wench!" Vegeta growled. His cock strained against against me, twitching violently each time I ground against it. "What's wrong? Finished already?" He laughed, his teeth latching against my neck for a moment as I finally snapped my hips down. My hands flew up and tugged his head into my chest as tightly as I could while I finished.

"V-Vegeta--" I whimper as my back meets the ground.

"Maybe I do have that time, woman," Vegeta growls in appreciation, and tugs at the spandex covering my aching core. He shifts it to the side and growls again as he prods at my slick opening with his gloved fingers.

"N-No..." I stammer, grasping at his hand with my shaky grip. "Any-- Anything but--"

"How can you say that when you're dripping for me, wench," Vegeta growled as he began teasing the bundle of nerves that's been throbbing for attention. My legs begin shaking violently as my gaze flickers towards the healing pod for a moment. "Don't pay attention to that clown." Vegeta growled and grasped at my face, his bare fingers digging into my cheeks. "Your pent up for me, not him!"

"G-Goku can't — he can't see me like--" I stammer as I attempt to cover up my chest.

Vegeta hauls me up and presses my front to the glass of the pod, his breath fanning over my ear. "You seem to care a lot if he sees you-- wouldn't that be a blow to that idiot, fucking his woman right in front of him!"

I feel the hard press of his cock against my core, but he stops at the last moment, and gazes off to the side. "No, he's-- That's Frieza!" Vegeta barked and shoved me aside. I slump to the ground in front of the pod, my body still shaking from the pleasure ricocheting through my body.

"G-Goku--" I stammer as I tug my spandex back up and palm at the glass. "Hurry up, please! They're using the Dragon Balls now, but Vegeta and Frieza are onto them! We need you!" My legs are shaking violently, but I stop pleading as I glance out the window as a new power level arrives on Namek. "That's-- Piccolo! That means Kami is back, too!" I exclaim. I pull myself upwards and gaze at the panel to Isolation Chamber. "He still needs a little more time... Oh, why did he have to destroy the newer ones?!"

~*****~

My head remained buried in my knees as I sat besides Goku's pod. Everyone's power levels were fluctuating wildly. They'd go down and come back up instantly. It was a headache paying attention to all of them. I couldn't keep up with it. Vegeta's power level had skyrocketed again, and it was higher than before. My body began to thrum again at it. I grimaced and curled myself tighter. The machine behind me began beeping wildly and I stood up immediately. "It worked--" I gasp softly as I gaze at the panel. He was one hundred percent healthy. "Hold on, I'll empty the--" I shriek in surprise as the pod explodes from an energy blast inside. "GOKU!"

"There's no time! Let's go!" Goku exclaimed. I nodded shakily and followed after him. We stood atop the giant ship, staring off into the direction of all the fighting. "That's good. They're close by. Alrighty, then, this is it! Just hold guys! Grab my arm, Mara." I quickly curled my front around his arm and in an instant, we were all the way at the battle field. My head spun wildly as I pulled away from him. "I'm glad to see you're all in good health. This is the first time I've arrived at the battlefield that you haven't been all beat up!"

"Yeah, well, we had a little help in that department," Piccolo mentions.

"It's great to see you again!" Goku exclaimed. "I can tell you're a lot stronger now, and not just physically!"

"Hey, Dad! Welcome back! We missed you!" Goku exclaimed.

"Whaddya think of our new duds?" Krillen asks.

"Not bad... But I don't think Master Roshi, Chi-Chi, or Lola would approve." Goku mentioned as he gazed down at me. I covered my front irritably. Goku just laughed in response. "I'm proud of you guys! Especially you, Gohan! Leave the rest to me! It's my turn!"

"Say what?!" Krillen exclaims.

"Goku! Did you get hit in the head or something?!" Piccolo barks. "It's going to take everything we've got to beat him!"

"I'm fine!" Goku hummed with a wave of his hand.

"I believe in you, Dad!" Gohan said.

"Hey, you're the man, Goku! Do it!" Krillen exclaimed. "Take care of that bully! And be careful! And watch out for that tail!"

"Thanks!" Goku smiled. He approached the duo calmly. "You must be Frieza. You're responsible for the horrible chain of events that have taken place on this planet."

Frieza scoffed. "The proof is in the pudding, don't you think, huh?"

"Whatever problems you have with Vegeta, you can take them up with me now." Goku exclaimed. "Mara, why don't you take care of him."

I flushed and nodded. I knelt down and gingerly tapped at Vegeta's face. He finally came to, although he couldn't move. "Hey, Kakarot... Looks like you made it..." He muttered out.

"Kakarot? But that's a Saiyan name, isn't it?" Frieza snapped. "Yes, you are a Saiyan. I was in a skirmish with a Saiyan who looks just like you. You're his offspring. The resemblance between you is unmistakable."

"I don't care." Goku retorted.

Frieza's face morphed into confusion. "Well, shall we proceed?"

"Your call--" Goku didn't finish, because Frieza attacked immediately. And he was fast. But Goku was faster. I just gaped.

"Amazing! I couldn't follow any of it. How 'bout you?" Krillen asked.

"No!" Gohan gasped.

"He's faster than ever..." I mutter.

"Nice move, but your shoe came untied." Frieza stated.

"I'm not going to fall for that!" Goku stated. "I don't even have shoe laces!"

"Darn," Frieza hummed plainly. "I guess you're a little smarter than the average Saiyan."

"Very funny!"

"Goodness! No sense of humor." Frieza teased. He lifted his hand and pointed at the warrior.

"No! Don't try to block it, Goku!" Krillen screamed. "EVERYBODY HIT THE DIRT!"

"Fool!" Frieza chirped. "YOU DIE!" Frieza fired a small blast, but you could feel the power in it. Goku simply knocked it aside. I ducked over Vegeta's head, cowering from the debris littering our bodies from the barrage of blasts.

"Goku!" I gasp softly when the dust settled. "You're amazing!"

"One hand? Not only did he block them, but he was able to aim them away from his friends!" Frieza gasped.

Vegeta began to laugh painfully. "Who would have thought? A lowly soldier like you, Kakarot. I commend you." My gaze swerved down to the Saiyan Prince struggling to speak. "Frieza, you fool! You don't get it, do you?! Kakarot's not an ordinary Saiyan!" Vegeta used my legs and pushed himself upwards. "Kakarot is a Super Saiyan! That's right! You heard me! If there is a God, he must be good for letting me live long enough to see this day!" He laughed, blood hacking from his throat. "How great! This is a dream come true! To see you.... Beaten by a Saiyan!" He continued laughing until Frieza fired an energy beam at Vegeta, and shot a hole straight through his chest.

"Vegeta!" I yelp as I catch him from falling. Blood seemed out from his wound and oozed onto the ground. He began hacking up more blood.

"Enough! Loud mouth! On and on like a broken record!" Frieza barked.

"Oh, no!" Goku shouted as I grasped at Vegeta's hand. "What's your problem?! He was no threat to you anymore! He couldn't even defend himself! There's no honor in that!"

"It was the only way I could shut him up!" Frieza retorted angrily. "He insists on babbling about that ridiculous legend. There's no such thing as a Super Saiyan!"

"K-Kakarot," Vegeta gasped, his grasp on my hand loosening ever so slightly. "Listen to me... Don't be soft! There's no stinking honor in any of this! It's just a game! Play to win! There are... no rules!" Vegeta growled. "You're-- going to have to get over your soft-- heartedness! Do it! Forget about your feelings! You have to! They'll get you killed! They'll get you killed, Kakarot!"

"I can't! I can't change who I am! Not on the battlefield! My feelings are my guide!" Goku explained. "Besides, everybody deserves a chance to change their ways, just like you had!"

"Fool! You don't-- know what you're dealing... With!" Vegeta hacked up again.

"Save your strength..." I urge softly as I cup at his face.

"No! There's more!" Vegeta growled, trying to get up. "He killed our home planet! It... was him!"

"He's just a corpse, and he's still babbling. I'll have to gag him to shut him up..." Frieza sneered.

"Your father! And mine! The whole planet!" Vegeta gasped. "He blew it up! It's true! No one... Survived! But us... Ask him if you want! He'll tell you! He's proud of it!"

"V-Vegeta..." I stammer.

"No! He needs to listen! He needs to hear this!" Vegeta barks. "We worked so hard for him!" Tears were bubbling in his eyes. "We did everything he asked of us, and more... He took me... from my father... when I was just a little boy! He made me do whatever he wanted and said he would kill my father if I didn't! I did everything he asked, but he killed him anyway, along with everyone else..." Vegeta sobbed. "He was scared of us! Scared that a Super Saiyan would be born to rise up and overthrow him!"

"A touching story." Frieza rolled his eyes.

"Save your strength, please!" I plead.

"Kakarot! Please! Destroy... Frieza! He made me what I am... Don't let him do it to anyone else... Whatever it takes... stop him... please..." Vegeta kept begging until he went limp against me.

"V-Vegeta?" I ask meekly. I pat at his cheek for a moment before pressing my fingers against his neck. "He's... He's gone...." I stammer to Goku.

Frieza scoffed. "Well, it's about time! Saiyan's tend to linger like a bad odor."

Goku just stared down at the traumatized man. "Goodbye, Vegeta..." Goku sighed. "You're not as cold-hearted as you believed yourself to be. A heart of stone can't shed tears like you did. You must have been holding them back your whole life... I'm the only one left..." Goku turned to a patch of dirt and blasted a hole into it. "Excuse me, Mara. If anyone deserves a burial, it's Vegeta." I nod numbly and move to the side. I stand up and wrap my arms around my torso. "I think I understand you now. You weren't grieving because he turned you into what he wanted to be. You never had a chance to be anything else." Goku laid Vegeta in the grave and covered him up. "Well, I still respect you. I know you made a lot of mistakes... But now I see that it wasn't all your fault. You had the fiery will of a Saiyan! Please share that with me now... 'Cause I need it... Thank you for saving my son's life and for buying enough time for me to recuperate. I'll do my best to carry out your wish! It's true!" Goku snapped to Frieza. "Vegeta's right! You have no honor! For him! And for everybody else you've destroyed! I am going to... finish you!"

"We'll see about that, won't we?" Frieza chirped.
