10. Bad omens?

It's dark all around, but not so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your eyes. The silhouettes of the tall trees can still be seen within a radius of 20 meters. They look strangely bald and creaky. The atmosphere is like an old, dead forest. Without living animals and overgrown plants. It is all dead and dead for some inexplicable reason. The ground at Vegeta's feet is bone dry and full of cracks. The branches of a withered undergrowth break off and crumble to ashes as it passes too close to them. He only noticed it when he tried to push aside one of the low-hanging fine branches that blocked his way. He looks questioningly at the ashes in his hands. "What just happened here?" he wonders. "Looks like the effects of an explosion with chemical weapons ..." he thinks and follows the beaten path out of the forest.When he arrives at the edge of the forest, he freezes in shock. Before him lies a mighty city in ruins. Smoke and smoke are still rising everywhere. Vegeta fears bad things. "Am I out of control again like on the planet of Euphoroa?" suddenly he becomes pale. "That can not be!" he calms down and he now realizes that he doesn't even know how he got here. He didn't know where he'd parked his spaceship, how he got here, or what made him go for a walk in the woods. He had suddenly found himself in this dead forest. Suddenly Vegeta is torn from her thoughts by a movement in close proximity. A figure leaps out of the bushes to his left, builds up a little further ahead on the edge of the abyss and looks carefully over the rubble field in front of him in the valley basin. Vegeta is still wondering because this figure doesn't even seem to have noticed him. At that moment, a large, dark figure breaks out on his right and crouches right next to him on the floor.He is only three feet away from him, but he doesn't seem to notice him either. Vegeta almost catches his breath in shock, although otherwise he is not so easily upset. But the sight of these figures makes him sweat. They are tall, around 2 meters 50. They are dressed in dark clothes and their bodies are very muscular. More muscular than his own and Kakarott's put together. The figure next to him suddenly looks pierced. Not really, strictly speaking, this something next to him seems to be looking through him because he still doesn't seem to notice him. Not even when Vegeta switches to a defensive fighting stance to be prepared for an attack. You can't see the face, it's too dark and covered with too much shadow. But her strange round earrings that you wear on both ears sparkle in a golden tone. And there are her glowing red eyes that promise death and destruction. "Was that the two of them ?!" it runs through him and gives a slight win.Then the monstrous figure stands up next to him, and in fact it is almost twice as tall as himself. For a few seconds the figure with the glowing eyes remains fixed and his gaze also flies over the rubble field. Just as if they would still find life somewhere, want to find it in order to destroy it just as they have already destroyed the whole city and the forest. The figure's gaze seems to have found a clue because it stares spellbound at a spot. Vegeta stares at the figure next to him in shock and doesn't dare to take a breath. It almost seems to him that he has never felt such fear. These characters are strange, there is no telling what they will do. Strangely enough, they don't have an aura that reveals their mood, but one thing is obvious. You are up to no good. At that moment the mighty jaw of the figure next to him opens and his supernaturally white teeth form a nasty and bloodthirsty grin.With a growling laugh, the figure leaps up and lifts off with a great discharge of energy. The shock wave of his jump stirs up a lot of dust and Vegeta has to hold her arms protectively in front of her face. The second figure standing on the precipice follows the other and the two fly towards the rubble field. Searching around the entire area, they come across what they were looking for, because suddenly the impacts of energy balls can be heard. And the impacting detonations can be felt up to this point, although the impacts take place in the most distant part of the rubble city. "What are they doing there ?!" Vegeta stutters and walks with trembling knees towards the edge of the abyss to be able to follow the action more closely. The two figures fly confusedly over the city as if they were hunting something. Yes, and whether they are chasing something. At that moment Vegeta sees, far away, a small figure running out of the rubble of a collapsed building.Closely followed by the monstrous creature with the red eyes, the little person runs for his life. Only now does Vegeta recognize who this bald, bald man looks like, whose bald head is reflected and dazzled in the sun when it was day. "Yes, I'm crazy ?! It looks like this billiard ball from this strange island. The guy who lives there with the old man!" it falls from his eyes like scales. "What was his name again?" He thinks briefly. "Exactly! Kuririn!" he remembers him. "But what the hell is he doing here ?!" he now asks seriously and confused. Vegeta lets his gaze wander around the area and notices that the environment and nature of this planet are very similar to the earth. A lot. Too much. The atmosphere and the composition of the air are the same. Even gravity. He was sure he couldn't be wrong. Although what lies in front of him looks anything but like the living earth, as he took it on his journey in memory.It was her. He is on earth. At that moment Kuririn is hit by the violet ball of light of the figure and is hurled away with a loud scream. He remains lifeless in the heap of rubble of the house, which is now collapsing, and is buried by the falling rubble. Vegeta can feel it clearly, the bald man's aura is gone. Although it should leave him cold, it made a strange pang in his heart and he remembers what they had experienced together back then on Namek. It seemed like a long time ago and yet it felt like it was only yesterday. Vegeta stares spellbound at the collapsing house. "What's going on here?!" he asks in a trembling voice and puts a hand on his forehead. Then he becomes aware of the second giant who is dangling a body in the air and concentrating a ball of energy in front of his face. "Piccolo ....!" Vegeta drives through it and he is unable to move. He still wants a "No, don't!" Call out to the giant, but the words get stuck in his throat.And so happened what had to happen. The ball of energy discharged from the giant's hand, hit Piccolo in the face and threw him with him. Piccolo, whom it had torn to pieces in the air, falls to the ground and remains lying next to a figure that looks like the weak soft-egg Yamcha. The one lying in the impact crater was no longer recognizable, so it was prepared. Only through the combat suit Vegeta recognized that it must have been Yamcha. "What's going on here?!!" Vegeta wonders again. "Why doesn't anyone help them ?! Where the hell is Kakarott? !!" he hangs it out loud. Now he realizes that he is able to move from the place again. He stopped shaking and became calmer. There was nothing left of this strange fear that had haunted and paralyzed him before. So he summarizes his courage and with a feather-light sentence he lifts off the dust-dry ground and flies towards the heap of rubble. In the middle of the rubble, he lands next to the crater.He looks down wistfully at the two lying in it. "Why?" he whispers softly. "Why ?! Damn it! I was late !!" he cries into the sky from which the moon shone blood red. "Kakarott ?! Where are you ?!" he drives around and runs disoriented through the rubble. On every corner, masses of corpses of people. They seem to stare at him with wide eyes and blame him for why he is only here now. In front of their faces, Vegeta screwed up his eyes and ran on. He doesn't know where, he just runs. Then he becomes aware of a shadow that a small fire throws on the path. He thinks he knows the shadow of the figure, well indeed. He steps out from behind the chunk of concrete that had fallen from the wall of the skyscraper and his blood stagnates in his veins. "Ka ... Kakarott ...!" he stutters and takes a step back in shock. He bumps into the concrete block, leans against it and slides down to the floor with his eyes down. Slowly, hesitantly and in the hope that he was only seeing an illusion before, he lifts his head and stares at the same place where he thinks he saw Kakarott earlier.And it's true, Kakarott hangs in the wall, surrounded by iron bars that should once support the building, like a saint. Arms stretched out on either side like a cross. His red blood dripped from his ears, mouth and nose and soaked his combat suit, which is hanging in tatters. He had to hang there for a while, because a layer of dust had already deposited on his body and the blood on his combat suit was dried and dark red. "How can that be?!" Vegeta asks stunned and puts a hand on his forehead. Those two creatures had actually managed to bring down Kakarott. You killed a super saiyan. As a normal Saiyan, he wouldn't have the slightest chance against these giants. "Where are you anyway ?!" now comes to mind, because all of a sudden it has become so strangely quiet. In fact, deathly quiet, not even a small breeze can be heard, let alone felt. Vegeta hesitantly looks around.Back there on the one heap of rubble, his gaze spotted a second familiar face. It is Gohan, covered in blood and with an iron rod straight through the chest. Vegeta gets up and staggers in his direction. "These monsters ... they don't even stop at a child ..." he whispers in the gently rising wind. He is now amazed at these words, because he too was once unable to stop at children. Almost arriving
