The Most Dangerous Game Chapter 2

Vegeta awoke to the sound of a ki blast. As he became fully awake, he could sense which way it had come from. Vegeta cautiously flew in its direction. He kept his chi low in case the inhabitants of the planet could sense chi and were hostile.

The chi signature led him to a very lavish looking structure. It was in the middle of the thick jungle that encased the island. Vegeta took a chance, but he needed to eat and get some proper rest. In addition, with a place that looked this rich there had to be some sort of communication system. Vegeta grabbed hold of the knocker, which was in the shape of a fierce animal that he didn’t recognize.

Vegeta knocked several times before he stepped back and waited for someone to answer. After about three minutes, a very feminine looking man answered the door. “Hello, may I ask who you are?” he said with a very prestigious accent.

Vegeta for a moment was stunned that a man could be prettier then Bulma. Vegeta inwardly gagged before introducing himself. “I am Prince Vegeta heir to the thrown of Vegetasei. My idiot of a partner accidentally launched me into space. I was hoping that I could use one of your communication systems to contact him.”

“Wait here.” the man instructed then ducked inside for a couple of minutes. When he came back, he asked Vegeta to follow him. As they walked through the marvelous mansion, Vegeta couldn’t help but admire its grandness. Vegeta was lead into what appeared to be a dining room.

The first thing Vegeta noticed was that all along the walls were mounted the trophies of many animals. Most Vegeta had taken on himself and had similar trophies up in his game room. However, some were these great beasts that Vegeta had been wanting to take on for years.

The second thing he noticed was the person sitting at the huge dining table. It too was very feminine looking but Vegeta got the feeling that it was neither. Then it spoke “Please sit down Vegeta. I’ve read a lot of your articles about hunting.” Vegeta couldn’t help but smirk at being known even on a planet like this.

Vegeta took a seat near the end of the table were his host sat. “I am Freeza. Once I was a prince in the Ice Empire. However, that was a lifetime ago. Now I live here with my loyal guard Zarbon.” Freeza inclined its head in the direction of the man that had answered the door. “Zarbon get Vegeta something to eat. He must be starving after what he went through.”

“Yes master Freeza.” Zarbon then bowed his way out of the room. “Since we are both hunters I thought we could go hunting later.” Freeza suggested. “So, you have animals here?” Vegeta asked. “Yes, in fact it is the most dangerous animal in the whole entire galaxy.” Freeza smiled with pride. “In fact it is an animal of my own creation.”

Just then, Zarbon came in and set a plate full of the most delicious food Vegeta had ever seen in front of him. Then as Vegeta began to eat, Freeza went on about his animal. “You see Vegeta at one point I grew bored with hunting. Now to know me you would know that this was a big deal. Hunting has been a big part of my life since I was four. My father gave me my own laser rifle and I had immediately gone outside and used it to hunt down one of his pet birds.

Instead of getting angry with me, he was awed by my accuracy. Ever since then he always took me on expeditions with him. Before long I had hunted every animal worth sport: the sibersei tiger, the caribbsei panther, and the afrisei buffalo.”

Here Vegeta nearly choked on his food. “You’ve faced off against the afrisei buffalo? Those things are supposed to be vicious.” Vegeta said an eyebrow raised in disbelief. “And they are. Why it nearly killed me.” Freeza smiled with pride as he pointed to one of the biggest creatures Vegeta had ever seen. “It had nearly fractured my skull. But, I got the brute in the end.” Vegeta looking at Freeza found a new respect for the animal as Freeza’s head looked like it was something that didn’t break easily.

“But after I had won that particular hunt hunting began to bore me. My life became a shadow of what it once was. Then I came across an animal that brought back a challenge to the sport. The challenge that was needed was an animal that could think.” Vegeta interrupted Freeza here. “There is no such thing as an animal that can think. Once a being can form thoughts it is sentient and no longer considered an animal.” Freeza then smiled a smile that set off alarms in Vegeta’s mind.

“But, wouldn’t you say that in their own right sentient beings themselves could be considered animals?” Freeza inquired. “Sir, what you are suggesting is murder. And, not only that but insane.” Vegeta was becoming outraged and he had the sudden need to be away from this creature. “My dear Vegeta, you mustn’t let such scruples get in your way. I’m sure I can help you over come such beliefs.” “You won’t be helping me over come anything. I’d never participate in a manhunt.” Vegeta proclaimed defiantly.

“Oh, you will if you have no chose.” Freeza said calmly. Vegeta stood up as he realized Zarbon was sneaking up on him. The moment Vegeta stood he knew he had made a mistake. The world around him began to swirl and darkness was starting to take its place. As Vegeta hit the floor and was submerged in unconsciousness, his mistake rang clear in his mind. He shouldn’t have eaten the food. It had been tampered with.
