Super Warrior Memorial [Vegeta, the Proud Warrior]

You should be honored, you know...

A bottom-tier boy like you hardly ever gets a chance to play with an elite warrior like me.

...

We Saiyans are tested for combat aptitude soon after we're born.

...

The pitiful ones with low power levels are shipped off to planets with no serious opponents...

Just like you were...

If that's how I got to Earth... I'm grateful.

Besides... Even the lowest-born can outdo the elite if they work hard enough.

Heh. What a ludicrous joke.

You're about to learn the hard way that effort alone isn't enough to reach my level...

Heh... If that was your best... I'm disappointed...

H-He is incredible...!

But... in a weird way... I'm starting to get kind of excited...!

Won't...let him... get away...!

We've come this far... Gotta finish it...

This is for everyone... you killed!

DIE!!!

K-Krillin, wait... You're gonna hate me for this... But let him go...

Please... Consider it a favor to me, just this once...

Yeah... Probably...

I know... and I know how dangerous he is...

But... I don't know how to say it... When I saw him about to die... I thought... What a waste...

Somewhere inside... I was happy. I was thrilled to be fighting such power...

I guess it's my Saiyan blood...

Next time... I swear I'm gonna surpass him... gonna beat him!

I know it's wrong, but please! Let me do it myself!

...I guess you've got the right to have it your way...

I mean, you're the reason Earth is still around, after all.

But listen, Goku!

Next time, you better kick his butt!

Yeah! Promise!

Listen up, trash! N-Next time, there won't be any miracles... Have fun while you can...

I hope you look forward to your inevitable doom...

Once I've gathered all the Dragon Balls, immortality will be mine at long last!

Then the next order of business will be to topple Frieza!

Vegeta! Where are the rest of the Dragon Balls?

If you don't give me the location this instant, I'll just have to beat it out of you!

Just try.

Heh heh heh... You never learn...

Hmph.

V-Vegetaaa...!!!

You'll PAY for this...!!!

Aren't you getting low on physical strength?

Do you hear death's footsteps, Zarbon?

D-Death's footsteps...?! Ha ha ha!

Don't make me laugh! I'm still more powerful than you!

It was such a bad idea to take care of me when I was nearly dead... Don't you agree?

We Saiyans increase our battle strength every time we recover from the brink of death.

No matter how great your battle strength...

You'll never defeat me in this form!!!

Nhh... Uhhh... V-Vegeta... I...

I was only following orders... from Lord Frieza... S-Spare me... P-Please...

After you worked me like a slave for all those years? Don't make me laugh, Zarbon.

B-But we can... We can work together...

Together we could... Defeat Frieza...!

If Frieza could be defeated just by teaming with the likes of you, then he wouldn't be Frieza.

You mean... You think you can win this?

Something like that...

You weaklings just sit back and watch, got it?

That's some confidence you have, dear Vegeta...

Or did I frighten you so much that you've simply lost your mind?

Laugh while you can, Frieza.

You're up against your greatest fear... A Super Saiyan!!!

...

Hmhmhmhm... You haven't lost your ridiculous sense of humor...

Rrrgh... Nraaaagh!

I'll be frank, you will not be able to beat me at your current strength.

As suspected, that Super Saiyan legend of yours is nothing but nonsense.

A-Absurd...! This can't be the extent of my power...!

I... I refuse to believe...!!!

So you're Frieza, huh?

Somehow you're smaller than I expected.

Another vermin still lurking about...

Vegeta and I promised to fight each other again.

That means I called first dibs.

...

K-Kakarot... You...came...

Kakarot...?! But that name means... You're a Saiyan!

Something's different about Kakarot... He's surpassed his limits once again...

It can't be... Has he become... a Super Saiyan?!

I refuse to allow even one Saiyan to live.

You're quite the fool. You should have just accepted your fate.

Maybe you're right...

Frieza...! Don't take him lightly...!

H-He is your nightmare made manifest! He is the... Super Saiyan!

Heh heh heh... Frieza... You're through...!

It's time for you to suffer!

I've told you already...

I don't want to hear any of your pitiful attempts at humor.

Hey! Vegeta can barely move, let alone fight back!

What's the point in finishing him off?!

Y-You're still as soft-hearted as ever, Kakarot...

You ought to toughen up a little! Throw away that sentimentality and you could become... a Super Saiyan!

Sorry, but I can't be as cold as you are, no matter what.

Not only that, I don't even know what this Super Saiyan is supposed to be...

Well, let me tell you, Kakarot... Ngh... Gagh!

Don't say anymore! It's just worsening your condition!

No, listen to me, Kakarot... Our homeworld, Planet Vegeta...

It wasn't a meteor that wiped it and our people out...

You talk a lot for someone who got shot through the heart.

How long do you intend to prattle on?

I-It was him! Frieza blew it up!

We Saiyans did just as he commanded... We were his hands... his muscles...

...!

Everyone but us was killed... Your parents... My father, the king...

He killed them all because he feared that a Super Saiyan would arise from among them...

Hmph... Spare me.

So, please... I beg you... Defeat Frieza... Please...

He must die... by Saiyan hands...

I want to see the Super Saiyan with my own eyes... And I know that someday... I'll defeat him...

If anyone's going to defeat Kakarot, it's going to be me.

Not some junk puppets like you.

Android #20. Please allow me to exterminate Vegeta.

Well, go ahead. But I'll take the other four.

From my limited observations of your actions, I can tell your pitiful rumors are far more fearsome than the real thing.

Aside from your energy-draining digits, I have nothing to fear.

A wise move, assessing us before entering the fray. But you missed the part that mattered.

For you see, Vegeta, we already know the full extent of your martial capabilities.

Oh? But you seemed awfully surprised when Kakarot became a Super Saiyan.

It doesn't take a genius to know your current info is merely speculation, based on our pre-Frieza statistics!

...

You need more than calculations to understand us Saiyans.

Hmph.

How'd HE pull that off?

I thought a prerequisite for going Super Saiyan was a pure heart!

Oh, it's pure. The purest, in fact. Pure EVIL!

I desired nothing but to be stronger.

I devoted myself to training so brutal and intense it would boggle your simple minds.

It was then that I came to realize the limitations of my power...

Overwhelmed with anger and frustration, I finally awakened and became a Super Saiyan!

A wave of elation swept over me. The time has come for me to surpass Kakarot and reclaim my glory as the Saiyan prince!

Enough with this nonsense!

We are androids. Beings far superior to you frail flesh bags. Soon, you too will follow in the footsteps of Goku.

Ho ho ho...

Just so you know... the Super Saiyan state tends to excite our violent tendencies.

You don't feel pain, I take it? How lucky... I hope you're ready.

So you androids are capable of experiencing fear, huh?

No need to rush. I'll get to you when I've finished him off!!

Heh!

I've lost a lot of energy.

If you want to take me down, now is your chance. Come at me.

You were running your mouth earlier, saying we had no chance of winning.

But it doesn't look that way to me. You mind explaining?

Well... I think you're just being a sore loser.

...

H-He's running away! He's gonna hide in the rocks!!!

Hey! Give me a Senzu Bean!

B-But... Um...

Do it now! You want him to get away?

Trunks!

Trunks? Did he say... "Trunks"? That's... That's the name of my son!

Another pest, is it? This one isn't in my database...!

I've made a critical miscalculation. I must return to the lab...!

Of all the...

Have you gone daft? He's one of the androids you warned us about!

Are you saying... he isn't?

Then who or what is that thing?

H-Hey... Isn't that...

Bulma?!

...!

Where's the android...?

Damn him!!! He got away!!!

He won't get away!!! I'll hunt him down!!!

What?

Ridiculous... I have no use for sentiment.

Stay out of my way!

Huh? I... think...

Isn't the SUPER SAIYAN supposed to be invincible...?!

How did that happen...?! That humiliation...!

Is it because they're androids...? Is this the best I can do...?

...

This is only the start...! I am VEGETA! No matter how strong my enemy may be... I will surpass them!

I swear I will...

And Kakarot... Once I defeat the androids, you'll be NEXT...

What is it that you think you're doing here?

Don't tell me you think you can stop me!

I didn't come here to stop you.

I came here to tear you limb from limb!

Keh keh keh.

And how do you intend to accomplish that, pray tell?

Watch closely, Cell!

I'm about to permanently erase that foul smirk from your face!

Hmph.

As I thought. You're nothing.

My training has rendered me beyond your reach, it seems...

H-How is this happening?!

You're Vegeta, right? I mean, Vegeta?!

Super Vegeta?! What the heck is that?!

I'm sick of all this talk.

Figure it out yourself.

Hss...

I'd focus on trying to stay alive if I were you.

Cause it's not gonna be easy.

W-Why you...

This is insanity!

Heh... I'll tell you something that will really shock you!

There's a guy named Trunks over there. He has ALMOST as much power as me.

...!

...

No...!!!

Were I to reach my Perfect Form, you would be less than a worm to me!

...

Dad, you're wrong! Don't let him reach perfection!

What are you going to do if he gets stronger than us?

Hmph. Where's your sense of pride?

Don't you want to see how much stronger he can get?

No! I've seen enough bloodshed and destruction in my future!

I'll stop Cell... Even if I have to defeat you, Dad!!!

Defeat ME? Heh heh...

As if you had the guts to attack your own father.

You're dead! A-All of you! I-In one minute, I'll explode...

D-Death is a small price to pay for vaporizing you and this sad rock!

H-Huh?

Self-destruction...?!

Ngh...!

Ah ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Haaaa...!

...

...

I've been thinking...

...and I can't come up with any other way to save the Earth...

Bye, guys. It's been a blast.

It... can't be!

This Ki... It belongs to...

But... how?

To make a long story short, this iteration of me is even more perfect than the last.

Goku didn't defeat me at all. He just made me BETTER.

(pant, pant)

(pant, pant)

I'll lend you a hand, Vegeta...

...Mind you own business. Just go.

I don't need your help.

Heh. Indeed...

...

I was utterly beaten by that father and son...

Curse you Kakarot... How dare you die like that?

What?!

Wow! Are dad and Gohan going to fight?

That voice out of nowhere...! Was that...?!

DAD! Is that YOU?!

How've YOU been?!

Can you really... come to the World Tournament?

Yaay! Yippee!!!

I'm a LITTLE stronger.

Goten's a year younger, and he can't even fly yet.

...Just a little...? ...How is this possible?!

Fight me, Kakarot.

Or would you rather witness me create another mountain of corpses?

...

You can't go through with this, Goku! Fight here and you'll play right into Babidi's trap!

Your energy will be siphoned to power Majin Buu's awakening!

Vegeta... You surrendered to Babidi's spell on purpose to make me fight.

Am I right?

If I hadn't, I'd never get to fight you.

After today, you're leaving this world forever.

You sacrificed everything just to fight this man?

I can hardly believe it. Of all the absurd...

Absurd? Watch your tongue!

This is everything to me! I don't give a damn about your Majin Buu!

...!

HE surpassed my strength! Me, an elite warrior!

Though we are both members of the Saiyan race, he had the nerve to overstep me, the prince! The title of strongest was reserved for ME!

...

Once... He even saved my life!

I can't stand it! I can't...!

...

Trunks...

Take care... of your mother...

Huh? What do you mean, Dad?

"Take care of your mother"...?

Go. Far, far away from here.

I'll slay this abomination alone.

No way! We'll fight, too! Or you'll be killed!

We can win if we work together!

You're wrong. His strength renders numbers utterly meaningless.

Normal tactics have no place here.

C'mon, what're you saying? With our combined strength, we can pull through!

Trunks...

I haven't hugged you even once... Since you were a baby...

Dad?!

Let's embrace...

Come on, Dad... You're... You're embarrassing me...!

Take care, my son...

Huh?

Wh-Wha?!

What are you doing...?!

Take these two. Get as far away as you can, and be quick about it...

This is my final request, Piccolo.

You plan to die here, don't you?

...Humor me with your wisdom, Namekian.

After I die and depart for this "Otherworld", as it is called... will I be able to meet Kakarot?

...The time is past for mincing words, so I'll be blunt.

No, you won't.

...

Too many innocents were killed by your hand...

When you die, you will be denied of your body. Your soul will be transported to a different realm than Goku.

I should have expected as much.

...Thank you. That will be all.

I'll be going, then.

Ooo! No run away!

Buu, wait! You've got to beat me first!

You fat, ugly moron!

Call me fat...?! You fat! Weak! Ugly!

Die, fat! Die, ugly!

I know how to be rid of you now... for good...

Farewell, Bulma... Trunks... Even you, Kakarot...

Kakarot... You really are something else...

This creature is far beyond my power... No one but you can fight him...

I still fight to win... to enjoy it... to kill enemies... to puff up my pride.

Not you. You've never fought to win. You fight to better yourself! To push your limits! That's why you never killed your enemies...

...Why you refused to kill me.

As if you knew all along I would learn to have a soul...

Only you can do this...

You are number one!

Damn! Piling on hit after hit won't work on a guy made of putty!

He just builds himself back, good as new!

Kakarot.

V-Vegeta...! You wanna switch already?!

Let me go a little longer, will ya?

Hmph. Drop the pretense. You had zero intention of switching out from the start.

You knew... that I'd just get killed.

Huh? N-No...? What're you talking,

Don't mind me. Finish him off!

A fully charged Ki Blast should do the job in your current form!

Well... I've been tryin' to, but...

I haven't had the chance!

In order to vaporize him, I'd need to charge up for a full minute.

He keeps draggin' this out! This little punk's havin' fun!

One minute. I'll keep him busy for one lousy minute.

You get to charging, you hear?!

You'd throw down with him to buy me time?

It's gonna be the longest minute of your life.

Then start charging, you numbskull!

Wait, you're dead. Do you know what happens when a dead man DIES?

He disappears. From the realm of the living, Otherworld... A permanent vanishing act.

...

Vegeta. Stay alive.

...Hmf... Tell that to yourself.

Heh heh heh heh...

Shaaah!

What beastly speed. And the weight of his blows...!

How was Kakarot fighting on equal ground with this freak?

Let's do it, now! It's time...

Prepare for the Spirit Bomb!

You fought hard... All by yourself...

I hope you get reincarnated as a good guy... so I can fight you one-on-one. I'll be training... and waiting...

See you around!

Hyah!!!!!

Phew.

It's... finally over...

Hmph.

Took you long enough...

Hey, long time no see!

That's not true. I visited you five years ago.

Hey. You've really gotten old!

We Saiyans live in battle...

...so we remain in our prime longer.

Kakarot, is it true you're going to the World Tournament tomorrow?

Yeah, I just decided today!

You should come, too. Vegeta.

But why? Why this year, all of a sudden...?

There's a great fighter coming!

I've been keeping an eye on him... and he's there today.

What?!

I don't feel any powerful Ki...

Oh, he's holding back for now.

But I can feel it! And he's strong!

Hmph... Strong enough for you? That's impossible... Unless he's an alien.

Nope. He's human.

...?

Goten, I hear you've been training.

You gonna enter?

Quit whining.

You can go on a date any day.

Heh, we both had a hard time with our kids.

Yeah, but at least that means the world's at peace!

Someday, Kakarot... Hmph! I will definitely beat you!
