Tʜᴇ Dᴀʀᴋ Pʀɪɴᴄᴇ

Vegeta was noticing the difference quite ridiculously so, and it was a bit unnerving to see the usually excitedly annoying Saiyan like this. Though, he shoved any of this strangeness aside in order to get out the responses that were most definitely needed to be said to the other. He must be so lost. He looks it. Why in the hell do I care?     “They’re fine. Everything’s been good and safe, while you were away. You know, Kakarot, even for you three years is a bit much. There was no notice of it, and I’ve gotten quite an earful from your family from time to time. Thankfully, they’ve stopped pestering around here, but still... What happened to you? Did Whis knock some sense into you, finally? Hmph. About time, if that’s the case...” And I don’t like it one bit. He’s stronger than me, isn’t he... Damn you, Whis! If he’s leaped to a height higher than what we all saw, I will personally see to it that you get nothing from my wife’s gourmet dishes. Wipes his forehead with the towel around his shoulders, and just assesses the state of the other Saiyan. It was certainly odd to see him looking so... It’s as if he’s really here. What did they do to him? No, wait. I don’t care...... But Gohan would. Damn it all. | @earthssavicr​ |

Vegeta hadn’t expected someone like the other Saiyan to really be gone for this long, as that would have been his department long ago. Though, it didn’t bother him that much at the time, since he was most likely just receiving more training. I’d imagine Whis was just kidding about the part on being a God of Destruction, as he usually was. We’re nowhere near that level, after all...  Though the years went on, and it was almost ridiculous with how much he actually, dare he say it, missed the damn oaf. Of course those thoughts were only with himself, and no one else would notice the way he’d slam his fist harder into his training bots. No one would notice how he’d settle himself further into more private sessions where he’d try, try to attain what Kakarot had back at the tournament. Yet, all of his efforts had been for nothing, and he found himself only trying to push further. That voice had him immediately turning, stopping mid-punch, and his heart leaped several times up into his throat from sheer surprise.  That was quickly replaced with something short of being calm, his normal reserved set of minor aggression at just seeing the other here before him. Though, there was something strange about the Saiyan, and he couldn’t stop staring at those eyes of his.    “Kakarot... So, you’re finally back. Took you long enough. Hmph.” | @earthssavicr​ |

    “Heh... Is that all you got?” | @zaamasu |

    “If that is what you wish. Let’s spar, then.” Leads him over to a place that was a little further away from anything valuable, like their precious Kai home, and unfolds his arms. Faces the other with still such a smug expression. Points at him with two fingers, and can’t help the little chuckle that escapes his throat.     “Come on! Give me all that you got. Don’t you dare hold back, Kai.” He wasn’t even going to waste much time, for he knew that this was going to end pretty quickly enough as it were. I’m going to have fun, either way... | @zaamasu​ |

Vegeta saw the display of anger before him, and how badly did he wish to disobey Beerus in this moment. There was a great need to see this Kai trembling beneath his boot, humilation running rampant in his face, and it took every part of him not to react. The only hint that he was beyond thrilled at all this, was the pointed smirk seemingly plastered on his face.     “I don’t see how it would really upset that balance. Maybe you’d care to      enlighten me, Zamasu. Shouldn’t a mortal that has the power of the Gods      be more of a use? If you could even control someone as low as we mortals.      Besides, you’re looking at one that could pummel you into the ground.” | @zaamasu​ |

    “With a weakling like yourself, I doubt you’d barely stand up      against a few of my punches. Though, I’m not supposed to      be here for that... Apparently.” And curse that damn Beerus for denying it! Fighting is in my blood, more so than anything Kakarot has to say. Lucky for me, he’s off keeping himself busy, and not being an annoying pest. Folds his arms tightly across his chest, but gives this one another look. It was quite curious to see this Kai as he was before, and still he and Beerus doubted if there would be any difference or change... Highly unlikely, really.       “You may want to re-check your little facts, Zamasu.” | @zaamasu​ |

  “So, if you’re done talking to the air, is there a point to all of this?    Or are you just a huge bluff of a fighter, because that’s what it    sounds like to me...” He was already quite done with this conversation, and wanted to get back to doing whatever he was doing prior to this whole mess, which was -of course- training. | @zaamasu |

     “Yes... Zarbon and Dodoria made it very clear that it was Frieza who did it.” Though, now she had him wondering a little further. He had an idea of what she was insinuating, but that’s just too out of the...-- No, it’s not and you know it.    “...Bulma...” The longest pause from the Saiyan Prince, and he gave her one of his most serious of stares as the idea was truly forming in his head. “Tell me you aren’t suggesting that it was Beerus who blew up my world.......” He did not want to believe it was a possibility, but now that he was older anything was bound to be truth. @capsulecorpcutie​

   “Oh, he hated Frieza. The two of them hated each other, except we     all know Frieza was his bitch.” Tries not to think too much on that aspect, but he definitely enjoyed seeing that in his younger years.     “....Anyway, hm... They mostly stayed away from each other, but the      occasionally accidental barging into the throne room would occur,      and sometimes sparse conflict. I’m surprised it wasn’t Beerus who      finished off Frieza, before I was even old enough to try it myself.” @capsulecorpcutie​

    “...................” He had no idea why she was bringing this up, and more importantly what this had to do with Beerus?? He had recalled only a few incidents with the God on his homeworld, but that was it... Yes, humiliating ones, but nothing too out of the ordinary. It was Frieza who always spread the most terror for his people, even if the other was visiting. It was the horned-lunatic that was almost always a present force. Still, why is she wondering about it now? I’m completely past that life, right??     “......Well, that Frieza originally told us survivors that a meteor     had struck and destroyed it. I always had my doubts, but when     I found out just before we met... It seems he was the one to do     it himself, after dealing with a revolt from the Saiyans. We had     gone down fighting, as it should have been...” @capsulecorpcutie​

Sighs, and wipes his forehead with the towel he had set aside, before placing it around his neck as he went over to see what she had to say. Of course how could he refuse something about the damn cat-God, when it could be something as stupid as needing more food... Though, something about his wife’s urgency in her tone was irking him. What did he do to her?     “It better be good, Bulma... I was in the middle of training.” @capsulecorpcutie​

Already panting too hard, after his extreme routine of working his body to the limit, and a single look over was cast to her once he could finally speak.    “What is it, woman?!?!” @capsulecorpcutie​

Vegeta let it linger on in silence for a few moments, as he was taking in this sort of situation quite seriously. For Vegeta, above all else before, knew very well on what the other was going through. It took years for the Prince to even begin to forgive himself, much less the thought of trying to forgive another as dark as Black had been; For what he could still be, now.     “Kakarot... You have every right to feel the way you are about that man.      He stole your body, he stole your pride, killed your family... There’s much      to not forgive in a being like that; a God, of all beings... It’s disgusting that      one of them had sunken so low, but you are who you are, Kakarot.      Perhaps, you’re needing more time... If it were me, well...... He would      have been killed long ago.” | @earthssavicr​ |
