Monkey Moon

The saiyans danced barebacked around a blazing fire, eerie orange red glow flowing across bronzed skin. Their movements were graceful and unhurried, for the night was soon upon them.

Words weren't needed. With animal grace they slinked and stretched, moving in a primal rhythm known to saiyans since the dawn of time. Nude perfection glistened in exertion as they awaited the moon. Taunting hands stroked, teasing tails coiled. How long they danced, none could say...

Goku flew with familiar speed, almost mindlessly. The strange burn in his bones grew stronger as he went south. The horizon seemed to slip from his line of sight, as deepening skies turned various hues of orange and purple. His destination beckoned as trackless jungle stretched before him...

The saiyans paused in their tribal dance, looking up and hearing the unseen. Smiles lit their features as they resumed.

Goku landed near the keep, on a small rock bridge above the waterfall. Wild sounds and scents filled his being to the core, urging him on with a siren song...

The saiyans danced with fever pitch, their motions done to gain attention. The one they sought to lure would come and embrace the fire.

Goku stood transfixed on the rock bridge, his mind blank. The moving figures below held his rapt attention.

_Everyone is...dancing?_

He alighted down, curiosity and desire confounding his senses. The saiyans were strange again, red eyed and shaggy once more. Wild black spikes tossed in the gentle breeze. Goku approached cautiously.

"What are you doing?"

They laughed, a weird warbling sound. The three immediately crouched on the rocks opposite the fire, tails waving high.

Vegeta beckoned him forward, blood eyes wild against the approaching night.

"Kakarot...at last. Come, it is time!"

Goku blinked, feeling strange sensations crawl up his spine. "What are you talking about, Vegeta?"

"Enough! The moon arrives next hour."

Goku could only stare at the three night demons silouetted behind the fire. He shook his head.

"The three of you look crazy, like those saiyans in my dream."

Raditz let out a banshee wail, tossing his head back. A long nail pointed at Goku.

"Ha! No crazier than you. Stop standing there like an idiot!"

"Ai, join us in fire!!" Nappa bellowed, white fangs flashing.

Goku stood rooted to the spot, wanting to leave yet unable to. "I can't deal with this..."

"It's far too late for denial, Kakarot" Vegeta waved his tail in a sensual taunt. "There are no lies here."

"I came because...I don't know why I came!!"

The saiyans chattered, mocking him with various gestures. Goku flared in anger.

"You sound like those dumbass chimps at the zoo!"

Vegeta grinned darkly. "Why Kakarot, we're just monkeys, remember? Or do you plan to deny being saiyan as well?!" his voice trailed into loud chittering.

The others followed suit. "Kkee-kaki-koo-kuqu-kahk-ahk!!"

They abruptly turned, scattering away from the fire. Goku ran after them.

"What the hell are you doing now?!"

No answer. Vegeta clambered up a tall tree, followed closely by Raditz and Nappa. Long, sinuous tails arched in counterbalance to their movements.

Goku couldn't deny the unbelievable grace of their motion. It was so natural...

/Of course, Kakarot. Our people were born to climb./

Goku started to reply before he realized the voice was in his head. A composite voice from the three together. He watched them retreat further into the treetops.

/How is this possible?/ he wondered idly.

Loud, high pitched chittering assailed his ears from above. Goku felt a strange anger at being left behind.

"You think I can't catch you?!" he shouted, furious.

/Monkey see, monkey do!/

"All right, you crazy fuckers. Two can play!!" Goku bounded into a tree, fingers and toes digging purchase into tough bark as he clambered up effortlessly.

Red eyes watched in approval as he caught up. Vegeta stood gloriously nude on a large tree branch, smirking. Goku fought a strange urge to just grab him. Before he could move again, the ouji bounded away.

"Too slow, Kakarot!!"

A stream of curses escaped his lips as they shrieked into the night, swinging through treetops.

Heedlessly Goku gave chase, grabbing vines and swinging after them. His skin stung, his blood was hot. A strange tightness seized his body as thoughts grew more clouded. His only focus was pursuit.

Or so it seemed. He caught up to them, the blood eyed ones.

"Koaee-kiki-kur-kaa?" Raditz smiled in his direction, gliding between branches. Goku frowned in frustration, momentarily forgetting.

"What the fug?" he nearly fell, losing his concentration as Nappa swept past, his tail slapping Goku in the face.

Annoyed and stung, Goku increased speed. Temper fuelled his growing desire.

"Koia-koo-kuk-keeeke-kaww!!" he shrieked in anger, nearly catching Nappa in one frenzied burst. The others swooped ahead of him once more, their sculpted bodies rippling as they moved. Goku couldn't help but admire the ease of their motion. Periodically they glanced back at him, chittering again in encouragement, their sounds blending into the jungle itself. A strange realization dawned on Goku as their wild flight continued.

_They aren't mocking me...it's...a song, a story??_

And in that moment he opened his mind and soul to everything saiyan.

"Saiyan tooth and saiyan claw run the pack and jungle law sing and howl at every turn mate and fight when blood must burn oozaru rules from night to sun be free, be wild at jungle run!"

His voice raised with theirs in joy. It was unlike anything he'd ever experienced in his life. Goku felt heady, wild. His body moved like theirs on pure instinct, gliding and dipping impossibly through tight jungle growth.

Vegeta bounded feet first onto a huge pile of fallen trees, tail slashing the air. The others followed.

The ouji crouched in a sexual posture, crimson eyes slitted. "Kroo- kuu-kubb" (we make love here.)

"KEAII!!" Raditz and Nappa responded, landing next to him soundlessly. Goku dropped down nearby, tail puffed in apprehension.

"Kunn" (Come here) Vegeta motioned to him again. Goku shook his head stubbornly, blood pounding his ears.

An earsplitting screech nearly made him leap from his skin. Vegeta displayed his teeth.

"Kii-kee-keyka-kuu." (You cannot refuse, oozaru.)

"Kurr-koyy-kuu!" (I'm not oozaru!)

They mocked him now, rocking back and forth on their haunches and chittering. Goku leaped at them, rage filling his heart. Rage, and something else. They scattered as he attacked, circling him.

The tall saiyan growled, turning warily to face each in turn. Goku's tail coiled his waist tightly in a defensive posture.

Vegeta stalked over to him slowly, a strange smile lighting his features. Goku paused, uncertain.

"Kerr-ko-ko?" (What's going on?)

Vegeta took his hand and purred. "Kei-kk-kunon." (Stop thinking.)

"Kooo-kuh" (Can't do this.)

Molten red eyes demanded the truth. "Kurr-kh-kee-kaou-kbb-koxe?" (You realize you speak our true language now?)

Goku touched his own lips in shock. "Kuw-kai!!" (I am!!)

"Kujj-kioe-kexx-kazi." (Your instincts guide now.)

Raditz and Nappa approached. The maned saiyan touched Goku on the cheek.

"Kuro-kuno-kapp-kae." (We share blood first, brother.)

Goku felt dazed, strange. "Kurr-kieno-kuow." (I remember from before.)

The ouji tugged him over to the fallen logs, pushing him down. Goku stared in fascination as each saiyan slashed their wrist.

Vegeta was first, pressing his bleeding arm against Goku's lips.

"Kouqqe-koo." (Drink.)

Goku nearly choked as thick blood rolled past his tongue. He lapped at it, remembering the heavy taste. Vegeta closed his eyes in bliss momentarily before pulling away.

"Kuj-kug." he nodded to Raditz. (Go next.)

The brothers stared intensely a moment before Raditz tilted his arm as well. Goku drank greedily this time, eyes closing in satisfaction as the familiar rich tang filled his senses once more.

The eldest saiyan moved forward and presented his arm. Goku grabbed it eagerly, suckling the life line. Nappa stroked his hair as he drank.

The blood was an aphrodisiac. Goku savored the taste, not getting enough. The burn in his bones was nearly unbearable now. Pulse thundered in his head as he heaved in desire, tail stretching and ruffling.

The truth was raw now, as wild as his eyes. "Kuyy-kumi!" (I want it!)

_Red fog hazed his eyes. He was led to a small cave, nestled in deepest jungle. Rich foilage gleamed against soft moonlight. Goku felt the pull of nocturnal change roiling his blood. Soon. Not yet._

_Flesh and spice assaulted his senses, as rich musk filled his nose. Bare skin exposed as pants were stripped away. Furry tails strapped his thighs, teased his belly, coiled his balls. Hands explored and probed his body, stroking, pinching and squeezing. Soft moss tickled his back under the press of bodies that moved over him. Flaming tongues drove him to madness, lapping taste in the most intimate of places. Fingers stretched and massaged him inside, making him beg and moan for more. Goku didn't resist as each saiyan mounted him in turn. In fact, he welcomed it._

_Kisses mingled with roars of passion and hard thrusts. Hot breaths stung his body even as wet laps tasted blood under sharp fangs. Goku groaned in ecstasy, his entire being on fire as the pack feasted on his charms. Mercilessly they plunged into tight heat, whetting glistening flesh in cum and musk. Goku responded in pure lust, drinking the cream of their love as he was opened and explored on both ends. The savage delight was endless, pure hedonistic joy._

_They came on him, in him. It hardly mattered. Every throbbing cock was pleasured in turn, each sucked and tasted dry. Raunchy lips greedily swallowed thick sweetness with gusto. Sleazy tongue lapped and suckled tails like candy. Hands slapped his ass, spreading him for more. Sharp teeth teased his nipples, swelling them unbearably with heat. He was taken on his belly and back, standing and on his head. Goku decided hell was a good place to be..._

_His body convulsed, throbbed. A flood came, and came again. Goku could have sworn he was swimming in cum. A long, winding river of slick lust..._

_Howls and shrieks pierced his ears, dotted color scraped his eyes from sensory overload. Throbbing thickness filled him again. The universe inverted to a red hole with black stars, colliding and exploding in cum..._

Goku had no idea how long he had passed out. Reeking saiyans were breathing softly around him, splayed in exhaustion and rapture. Bodies wet with exertion and activity stood in bold relief under the moonlight.

They exchanged raunchy leers. Goku sat up slowly, wild hair sticking everywhere.

"One hell of a fuckfest." he purred, licking his lips.

Vegeta stroked himself, smiling up at the sky. "Hai, Kakarot. You're the perfect saiyan slut. No wonder I love you."

"Hn, a piece for all." Raditz commented, flipping his tail up. "Rejoice, the moon is strong now!"

Nappa rumbled, stretching over soft moss. "Hai, I feel the surge...it comes!!"

They lay quietly, red eyes glowing in anticipation. Tails bristled, backs arched. Growls and hisses erupted from primal throats. Long fangs gleamed sharply. Pulse. Blood. Heartbeat. Bodies twitched and convulsed, eager and ready.

The moon called, without warning.

Earth shattering roars split the air as four figures exploded into oozaru, their were-ape forms towering over the jungle. The party was just starting as they stomped into the night, thundering the earth as they moved...

The saiyans were unaware they had company. Awestruck stares saw the giant beasts stumble over the horizon.

"It happened, just like we suspected!" Tien pointed.

Piccolo nodded grimly. "I felt we needed to return. The saiyans are lethal in that state, and I'm not certain about their motives."

"We'll need to keep our distance, though." Yamcha adjusted his night viewers. "There's no way we can face down four oozaru!"

Piccolo held up a silver globe. "We won't have to. Bulma was wise enough to see a possible need for this."

"What's that supposed to be?" Tien asked.

"A solar simulator. It cancels the effect of moonlight on saiyans, thereby reversing their transformation."

Krillen sighed, glancing at the now distant figures. "I don't know, Piccolo...assuming we get the device to work, then what? Our fears regarding Goku are well justified, but will he come back to us?"

Tien was subdued. "I hope it's not too late. To be perfectly honest, it might be impossible to pry him from his own kind."

"If they weren't evil, it wouldn't be an issue." Yamcha snapped, shaking his head. "Hell, what a mess...Goku will probably be angry with us for interfering, so it's a no win situation any way you slice it."

Piccolo bounced the globe in his hand. "We'll worry about that when we have to. Meanwhile, let's get going. They can't be allowed to rampage unchecked."

Truer words were never spoken. Oozaru did two things extremely well: destroy and screw. One activity usually followed the other, and this time was no exception. The monstrous figures trampled jungle underfoot, uprooted trees and smashed hillsides for the pure joy of it. Flaming breath cascaded over open savannah, igniting fires everywhere.

The Z warriors flew in formation, panic lighting their eyes at the carnage.

"We've got to stop those fires!!" Yamcha shouted.

"I have an idea." Tien yelled. "We'll have to blast the ground in a wide arc to contain the fires so they burn themselves out."

"Workable...let's do it!" Piccolo shouted as they altered their flight path.

While the others were busy putting out fires, the oozaru were just...busy. They wrestled and played, biting and nuzzling in furry frolic. Chests were thumped, tails lifted in display. More punches, kicks, and body slams were exchanged. It was a saiyan funfest of violence.

The Z warriors had little appreciation for their celebration, however. Following Tien's lead, huge troughs of earth were blasted clear, smothering the spreading fires and putting them out finally.

The oozaru known as Vegeta abruptly roared, tilting his hoary head south. The others sniffed the air, observing his call. They growled in comprehension, lumbering towards the others.

Krillen saw the change first. "Piccolo, unless you've taken a power pill I suggest you use that globe!"

Yamcha gawked at their unbelievable size as the behemoths stormed their way. "Uh, guys, maybe we should clear some distance..."

Tien began to move. "Yeah, or get squashed like bugs!!"

Piccolo flew up abruptly, tossing the globe high against starlit skies. A pop and explosion cracked the atmosphere, following by shafts of silver light.

The namek flew off. "Don't just stand there staring...get clear!!"

It was sound advice. Barely seconds later a giant fist crashed into the rock bridge they stood on, reducing it to rubble. The z warriors scattered, flying in all directions of escape.

Shafts of silvery light continued to fill the skies everywhere. The warriors flew in erratic patterns to avoid getting knocked from the sky. The oozaru struck in fury, showing remarkable speed and agility for their size.

"HOLY SHID!!" Yamcha barely avoided savage jaws that snapped his way, a thunderous crack of fangs having missed.

Deafening roars rolled across the green plain. Krillen could barely concentrate over the din as he flew to safety.

"What's going on! That globe isn't working!!"

Piccolo pointed, temporarily halting his frantic flight. "Hold! Something's happening now!!"

The beasts suddenly stopped in their rampage as if hitting an unseen wall. Fists raised, halted. They began to shrink in size.

"It's working!" Tien shouted with glee. "They're changing back!!"

Simian features melted to humanoid confusion as the saiyans returned to their previous state. They looked around with perplexed expressions.

The z fighters landed in front of them in the grassy cove. Vegeta spun in anger, pointing.

"You dare interrupt our fun?"

Piccolo stepped forward first. "Yeah, we dare."

Yamcha couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at Goku. "What's happened to you, man? You look weird."

Goku growled, annoyed. "Weird? That's a fine greeting, Yamcha."

Krillen eyed the nude saiyans. "No, it's true. Why are you running around in South America naked, Goku?!"

"It seemed like the thing to do." came the sarcastic answer. "Things happen, Krillen."

"I see. So is this part of the 'change' we've heard so much about?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"Why are you trashing the jungle? Have you gone insane?!"

Goku blinked, red eyes expressionless. "I don't remember...I was by the waterfall earlier tonight."

Tien glared at Vegeta. "Creep! You've messed up his mind!"

Vegeta only laughed.

Nappa made a mocking face. "Idiot. Oozaru is pure instinct...true awareness sleeps."

"Is that how you're managing to use him?" Krillen piped up again.

"That isn't what's happening here, Krillen." Goku told him. "The lack of memory concerns me, but at least no one was harmed."

"Not this time, anyway." Piccolo snorted. "The simulator prevented a potential tragedy."

"I still say it's mind control!" Krillen was angry now. "Goku would never attack his friends voluntarily-"

"Kakarot isn't under inspection here, baldy." Vegeta taunted, red eyes glowing. "You can all leave. Your presence is no longer required."

Tien could only stare. "You look like a bunch of screwballs...Goku, what is this? You've got a family at home!"

The crimson eyed saiyan looked his friend over, shaggy spikes shaking everywhere.

"I'm fine, Tien. This is my family, too..."

The bald fighter spat at Vegeta. "Scum. I know about cults! If you've forced him into anything-"

Raditz laughed now. "Ha ha haa...humans are so predictable. Anything you don't understand, you create reasons for. Saiyans run in packs."

"Sounds like a glorified description of a cult to me."

Nappa stretched, wild eyes lifting to the moon. "It hardly matters, humans. Your time grows short. I sense that toy you used has spent the majority of its power."

It was true. Silvery rays of darklight were already growing less frequent and dissipating rapidly.

Goku nodded in agreement. "He's right, all of you should go. I don't want you hurt."

"Goku, come back with us!" Piccolo insisted. "These saiyans are using you!"

"No they aren't. Stop worrying about me, I'll return later."

Vegeta's tail began to twitch. "One warning only!!"

Yamcha balled his fists. "All right, jerk. But only out of respect to Goku!"

Krillen could only look at the wild eyed thing he called friend. "Take care, Goku-"

"Leave now!!" the tall saiyan growled, shifting now.

"Let's get out of here!" Piccolo lifted off like a shot. The others barely avoided getting stepped on as the saiyans erupted into were- apes once more. They took to the skies, hearts heavy.

"No matter how many times I see that transformation, it's still awesome." Yamcha admitted.

"Terrifying." Tien said shortly. "I don't know if we can save Goku now."

Piccolo was grim as they flew to the ship. "The Goku we knew doesn't exist anymore."

Krillen glanced back at the retreating oozaru. "We might be making a huge mistake leaving him here."

Dawn. Goku lay in a thick cluster of vines, clueless as to how he got there. A familiar warmth and scent filled his nose once more. Opening his eyes slowly he discovered he held a very warm and fragrant Vegeta once more. Dark eyes shone on him.

"You're finally awake. I began to think you'd sleep the entire morning away."

Goku smiled. "Vegeta" he stroked the fine face, tracing a line across curvy shoulders. "How did we get here?"

The ouji glanced down at their wild nest. "Who knows? It hardly matters now" soft lips brushed. Goku shivered at the touch.

/I feel wonderful.../

/Hai...like nothing else./

Goku pulled sticky lips free. "Where are Raditz and Nappa?"

A soft purr. "They made claim last night."

"Claim? I don't understand. I thought we all shared the pack link."

"Hai, our clan now. But this is different, more personal still. A private bond between mates."

Goku sat up in surprise. "They mated? But why? I got the impression they ran hot and cold!"

Vegeta pulled him back down. "And so they do, but for a saiyan that's ideal. Besides, I warned them both to back off."

"Back off from what?"

Vegeta stroked Goku's face tenderly. "You..."

Goku blushed with heat. "oh."

A thick tail coiled his arm. Goku gazed into velvet pools, amazed at the open love he saw there.

"I don't want either of them to get ideas, especially Nappa."

"You can't seriously think I'd mate with Nappa."

"He turns you on, Kakarot. I'm fully aware of what happened at the waterfall."

The tall saiyan turned beet red. "It was an impulse, I just went with a feeling..."

"For a saiyan that can lead to much more. Remember our own history?"

Goku mulled that over. "But he isn't you, Vegeta. I never wanted him the same way."

The ouji grabbed him into a kiss. /That's what I wanted to hear./

Tongues touched for the next few moments before they spoke again.

"Hn, even Raditz...would challenge."

"But he's my brother!"

"There are only four of us. When blood runs hot, choices are made. A saiyan must be mated at some point."

Goku snickered. "I thought you weren't the mating kind."

Vegeta was thoughtful. "It may have appeared so, for I lived a harsh life. Still, every saiyan has a secret desire. You were mine."

"I'm surprised to hear you talk this way."

"The masks have fallen, Kakarot. You've dispensed with being a buffoon, and I am done being a one dimensional killing machine."

Goku cuddled. "I'm glad...that's one of the reasons I originally rejected being saiyan."

"Overly simplistic views are common where knowledge is lacking, Kakarot. I don't deny our appetite for bloodshed and violence. Still, we are real beings like any other...we have our loves and hates, needs and wishes."

Goku nodded gently. "Raditz said as much. My perspective was skewed, although I sensed you were more than evil-"

Vegeta sat up starkly. "You think I'm evil?"
