BULMA AND VEGETA FANFIC.
This story takes place in an alternate universe.
- Frieza hasn't destroyed Planet Vegeta (yet), but does feel intimidated by the Saiyans.
- Goku was sent away from Planet Vegeta for his own safety; Frieza destroyed their village after he was informed that there was a protest, which involved much violence. Goku was sent to Earth in a spaceship. Raditz was at the royal palace, training with Vegeta at the time. To ensure Raditz had a good future, Bardock pleaded for him to be guard of Prince Vegeta.
- Vegeta cares for Bardock and Raditz (in a comrade way). He promised Bardock to look well after his son. Because Vegeta never lost his family, he is not as bitter and evil as he is in DBZ.
AN: I don't own DBZ or any of the characters.
May contain some similarities to the original anime.
Once the game is over, the King and the pawn go back into the same box.
ONE: THE QUEST.
The Saiyan Prince laughed. Frieza gave him eighteen months, but three days should be more than enough for the Saiyan Prince to conquer the earth and its inhabitants. They were weak, insolent creatures. They should feel honored that a superior race such as the Saiyans would set foot on this planet to conquer it, he thought in silence.
"Nappa, Raditz... I think it's time." The Prince pressed the red button, making it able for him to open the door of his ship. The spaceship was round and just big enough for one person to fit in. It could sustain the nastiest of meteors and moved with an incredible speed.
After a year of being stuck in that ship, they finally arrived on earth. The three of them put their scouters on and started scanning the area for any high power levels.
"Nothing," Raditz concluded. "Can you now tell us what Frieza send us here for, Vegeta? He sounded really serious about it when he called you to him."
"It is quite serious, Raditz," Vegeta answered. He pushed the door of his ship open. "Frieza wants these so called 'Dragon Balls'. They can fulfill anything you wish for... at least, that's how the story goes."
Nappa froze. "You mean you're going to bring him the Dragon Balls, Vegeta?" Nappa asked, his voice high in fear.
"I'm not sure yet... Frieza promised me he won't hurt my family as long as I did everything he asked of me. Yet, I don't trust him with these Balls." He looked up to his big, tall, bald friend. Fear was showing in the prince his eyes, which caused Nappa to panic slightly. When Prince Vegeta was afraid of something or someone... everyone should be afraid.
"Are you kidding, Vegeta?! We should wish the bastard dead! He's been suppressing all of us ever since he set foot on our planet!"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Vegeta said calmly, "we'll have to find the Dragon Balls first. Which will be damn hard since we have no idea what to look for. Let alone where to look for them."
"We don't have to get to business right away, do we? Come on, let us have some fun!" Nappa yelled.
"Do whichever you please. Just make sure you'll be back here in three hours. I will fly around, look if I can find anything about those Dragon Balls." And with that the Prince flew off, into the blue sky.
"You felt it too, didn't you?" Gohan looked up.
"Yeah, I sure as hell did." Goku let his hands down, also looking up. "What could it be?"
"I have no idea... But whatever it is... it doesn't feel very good." The two took a break from their sparring session to think some more about the mystical power levels and, of course, to eat. As Chi chi and Bulma set up the table, Gohan and Goku took their seats.
"You need to chill out with the little guy, Goku! He's just a kid and you're training him like it's the end of the world! Give 'em a break."
"Evil doesn't take breaks, Bulma, so neither do we."
The blue haired woman sighed. "Saiyans... I'm afraid I'll never get you."
"Makes two," Chi chi muttered under her breath. "Take a seat Bulma," Chi chi said, as she sat next to her husband.
"Can't," Bulma said. She went to put on her jacket. "I need to get some materials for this new project I'm working on."
"Bulma!" Chi chi, Goku and Gohan called out. "You can't leave right now! You can't leave without eating, even if it's just one bite!" Goku continued.
"Sorry, can't do!" Bulma smiled as she reached for the door. "I'll call you guys later okay! Duty calls!" And with that Bulma Briefs left the house.
It was about six o'clock in the afternoon when Bulma had walked out of the ITM (International Trade of Materials). She hadn't found everything, but just enough to start her project. She made sure the metals would be sent to Capsule Corp tomorrow, meaning they'd be in her lab in about three days. Feeling happy with herself she walked into a smoothie bar three doors from the ITM. She ordered her favorite; Chocolate and Strawberry Disaster. As she opened her wallet to pay, she noticed a small picture of Yamcha in the corner of her wallet. Bulma smiled at the thought of her loved one, waiting for her at Capsule Corp.
Feeling even better Bulma decided to walk the two blocks to Capsule Corp. There wasn't anyone to be seen anyway, which meant no paparazzi either. She took a few sips of her smoothie as her thoughts wondered off – mostly to Yamcha. Her mother had been talking about marrying quite a lot lately... Of course Bulma knew that her mother had always wanted a grandchild... the only thing Bulma was afraid of though, was Yamcha is infidelity. They have been together since... since forever. Still, Bulma wasn't so sure about it all. She loved Yamcha with all her heart. It was just her fear that he would cheat on her again that kept her from marrying him. Or was it something else? She wasn't sure yet. Every time she saw Yamcha, or even a picture of him, she smiled. But there was also this nagging feeling at her heart. And she had no idea how to get rid of it.
"Oh well," Bulma sighed. Time was ticking, she was growing old every second. While men went handsomer every year, women didn't. Men get handsome, women get old. That's what she had always believed. Marrying pure out of fear of growing old of course was bullshit and Bulma knew this. But she had also always felt a fear of staying alone all her life. Seeing Chi chi and Goku together only made it worse.
It was then that she noticed it. The man silently walking beside her. She pressed her bag against her chest and started walking faster.
"Oh, there's no need to be afraid! I just wanted to ask you something!" The man his voice was raw and husky.
Bulma looked at her left, looking straight into the man his dark eyes. He was beautiful, yes. But he also eyed menacing and dangerous. "What can I help you with, sir?" She kept her fear well hidden.
"You see, I'm new here. A friend of mine told me about these weird things, they're called the 'Dragon Balls'."
Bulma came to sudden halt. Overtaken by panic she shut down
"I assume you know about them?" The stranger took a step towards Bulma.
She felt his hot, fresh breath burn on her face. "I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I'm truly sorry." She sidestepped him and continued walking. One block, Bulma... one block...
"Are you sure?" His voice sounded. "Last chance to answer, woman!"
"I told you, I have no idea what they are!" Bulma yelled.
"Arg!" the man growled. "Do you even know who I am?"
Bulma turned around, this time overtaken by anger rather than fear. "I could ask you the same thing, mister!" It was only now that Bulma saw the weird costume the stranger was wearing; it seemed like a battle armor. "I wish I could help you, but I honestly can't."
"Hmpf," Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest. The watch around his wrist beeped, letting him know the three hours had passed. Vegeta took one look at the beautiful woman. It was hard for him to look away, for her beauty almost consumed the Saiyan Prince. Without saying another word, he took off into the air. Disappearing as fast as he had appeared.
Bulma looked at the mysterious man in awe. "Goku," she mumbled. "Need to call Goku!"
