world. And he would return to a world like that. It's quiet and he only hears his own footsteps groping across the paved floor.Suddenly he becomes aware of a second pair of feet that are not far away from him. He didn't notice it until just now, but the corridor he is walking through has become wider and a little lighter. The steps he hears are quieter and shorter than his. So the one to whom they belong must be lighter than him and have shorter legs. Then he notices the small figure walking next to him and suddenly speaks to him: "Finally someone is coming over here!" Vegeta perks up in astonishment, because he thinks he has heard this voice before. "It can get really boring here, I'll tell you!" comes from the voice that seems to be grinning. Vegeta studies the small figure intently to maybe at least see his face, but it's much too dark for that. Then he becomes aware of a blue-green, round stone that dangles around the neck of the little person and briefly flashes. He had seen this stone somewhere before, but his thoughts are again interrupted by the voice next to him."Tell me, how did you get here anyway?" the familiar voice asks curiously. Vegeta first ponders whether he should answer at all, because he doesn't feel like talking to someone whose face he can't see. But to another and more energetic "Hey you! I'm talking to you! How did you get here ?!" he answers the voice briefly: “Don't know!” “Why don't you know that ?! You have to know how you got here ?!” the voice asks again. "No! I don't know! And now stop bothering me!" Vegeta drives around. "Do you know how you got here ?!" Vegeta asks the little figure gruffly. "Yes of course!" the voice smiles now. Vegeta listens with interest, because if he knows how he got here, he probably also knows how to get out of here. "I've always been here!" attaches the childlike voice to it. Then Vegeta becomes aware of a weak, flickering light further up the hall. "About time this shitty gang ended!" he thinks aloud and walks on, followed by the figure."You know? There used to be more here besides me. But one day they were all gone. They just left me here." the voice begins to tell unsolicited. Vegeta tries to ignore the talk but this voice and the somewhat sad tone allow him to be heard. "At first I thought they would come back and I waited for them every day. But none of them came back." the child's voice sounds dejected. "Tragic." it comes mercilessly from Vegeta. "I was really mad at all of them and then I said to myself, don't trust anyone!" it comes now slightly annoyed by the stranger. "Don't trust anyone! It's no good! Trusting someone only hurts! You will only be disappointed!" he is bitter about it. "And above all, you shouldn't show any weakness!" it still comes from him. It all sounds so familiar to Vegeta and he lowers his gaze. "But I know, now I'm weak by telling you all this ..." the voice becomes sad again and hurries ahead of Vegeta towards the end of the corridor."But I'll tell you one thing! When I grow up, I'll be the strongest warrior in the universe!" the boy laughs enthusiastically and turns to Vegeta. Vegeta catches his breath because he knows this boy. Yes, the boy with the blue-green pendant around his neck. The red cloak and the Saiyan coat of arms on the chest. He should have noticed it much earlier. Vegeta stands in front of his childlike self. The blue-green pendant made of Soki rock that he wears is from the time when the planet Vegeta still existed. He always had to wear it at public events, he now remembers. It was his sign, as a prince. When his home planet was destroyed, Vegeta was only with Freezer for a few days and when it came out that the Saiyajins no longer exist, he had to give up his tribal affiliation. Thus the Saiyan coat of arms and the pendant. "Yes! I'll be the strongest! And not a weakling like you!" the boy's face becomes serious and looks at Vegeta with sparkling eyes. "What?!I guess I don't hear right ?! "drives Vegeta around who can hardly believe that this snot spoon who insults him as a weakling is supposed to have been himself." Don't look so stupid! Isn't it the truth? It is really embarrassing to succumb to harmless people. "His childlike self grins dirty at him and with a burst of laughter he runs into the room into which the corridor opens and disappears into the darkness." Hey! Vegeta calls after him and hurries after him. The corridor leads into a very large room with many columns that lead up to the top. Vegeta hesitantly steps out of the shadow of the corridor and looks around. The walls hang on both sides Burning torches. "So that's where the light comes from." he remarks and now realizes that it is a closed room. "Where has he gone now?" "Mh ... it can't be far ..." he thinks and becomes aware of the three large windows at the other end of the room.The light falls through the colorful mosaic of the windows and paints the floor on which ornaments are also paved. A long staircase extends under the middle window, which he now approaches. A strange, familiar feeling creeps up on him and makes him feel insecure. Was it a dream or a reality? Actually, it could only be a dream, because how else could it be possible to meet your own self? Vegeta just hopes that the dream doesn't end again, like in the dream back in space, that it destroys half the earth and kills Bulma's friends. He stops in front of the stairs and looks to all sides. There was nobody there. He was completely alone. Then his hearing hears the smile that comes from above, from the top of the stairs. The light now falls on the throne that stands on top of a potest at the end of the stairs. The smile belongs to his childlike self again, who sits on the throne and looks down at him mockingly. "Well? Already there?" he grins at him.Vegeta looks at him angrily and grinds his teeth: "What is he doing ?!" "Keep calm." the boy tries to appease him again. "You are just not the fastest! And probably not the brightest either, otherwise you would definitely have been able to defend yourself against these human worms?" his ego mocks him again. Vegeta really pulls himself together so as not to give him one on his mouth. "It must be extremely depressing to be inferior to such a weak species as humans." the boy continues. "Shut your mouth!" Vegeta gets loud. "Yes, yes, and how embarrassing it is when you realize that you have to rely on the help of a weak human woman. It's embarrassing enough that you are dependent on her and her family." the little prince clings to it and basks in his superiority. "Finally hold the edge !!" Vegeta yells at him now and covers his ears to stop hearing his mockery. "I know!I underestimated you! Although I was stronger than them I was inferior to them! "He now admits his weakness to himself and looks down on the ground." Slowly I don't know what to do next. Why can't you just leave me alone ?! "he hangs on and kneels. The little prince steps down a few steps and speaks to him:" You want your peace and quiet? "Vegeta lifts his head and looks at him." Well, stay here! "The boy offers. Vegeta perks up and whispers:" Here? " "Yes exactly! If you stay here, all your worries and problems will come to an end, "the boy adds." Here you have your peace. Here you are undisturbed. You don't have to answer to anyone, answer to anyone. You don't have to prove anything to anyone here. You can just be yourself. "Explains the young prince." I ... be myself? "Vegeta repeats the boy's words as if in a trance." Yes, you will miss nothing here! You feel at home here, don't you? "The boy asks him now." Well ...?Yes ... "Vegeta replied hesitantly when he noticed this strange warmth and the feeling of security. This strange security sounded familiar to him from somewhere, but he didn't know where from now." You can be happy here. Nobody here will come too close to you. Nobody will hurt you here. "His childlike self continues imploringly. At that moment Vegeta's hearing hears another voice. The voice is quiet and it almost sounds as if she was calling his name." Go! Take my hand and come with me! Then you can stay here forever! "The boy urges. Vegeta turns back to him and thinks about it. It would be a really tempting offer. Finally do what you want, no one left to get on your nerves. Easy Finding his peace. All the bad experiences he had forgotten. Forgotten everything, everything that was. Vegeta holds out his hand to the boy's. But suddenly he becomes aware of this voice again and pauses.Yes, and this time he hears the voice more clearly and it actually seems to call him: "Vegeta!" Vegeta listens carefully. "Vegeta! Can you hear me ?!" the voice calls again and suddenly the ground begins to shake and shatter under his feet. "Come on! Hurry up! Otherwise it will be too late!" the boy calls to him desperately that he should finally take his hand. Vegeta, to whom this voice sounds familiar, takes a few steps back from his childish self. "What is it ?! Come on!" urges the little prince and looks at him in panic. Vegeta looks at him too and is no longer sure whether he wants to stay here. "What is?" the boy asks him the question again, but this time unsettled. Vegeta shakes his head slightly and takes another step back. He turns his gaze again in the direction from which he hears the voice that calls him and then he notices this strange feeling of security again. He had felt this security before, but it seems to him as if it was a long time ago.At that moment the ground under him gives way and crumbles into the individual cobblestones from which it is made. "You fool!" whispers his childlike self, which has already expected it. "But, you can't get rid of the curse that way either." he hangs on and looks after him. Vegeta starts and falls. "Crap!" he exclaims when he realizes that he has no strength to fly. Then he hears this voice again: "Vegeta! Take it easy!" A bright figure appears in front of him and holds out his hand. It almost looks as
