Bulma ran to the landing deck where Kun, a human around his 60s awaited. Kun had been working for Frieza since he was 30 years old. He had taken Bulma under his wing after she had been forced into Frieza's service. Today she ran for her freedom with only the clothes in her back and the capsules that contained files, clothes for her, and the dragon radar. Kun had protected her and today was helping her escape to Namek where the few survivors of Earth had taken refuge. A week before, Bulma was able to make contact with her friend Krillin. He told her that they were living relatively calm times with the Nameks. She decided to make the escape to Namek. She arrived to the deck and saw Kun pacing back and forth waiting for her.
With a whisper Bulma called her old friend who reminded her so much of her own father. He wore those glasses and the white lab coat her father always wore. He was short and even had the same haircut although his hair was blond.
"Bulma? I'm so glad you're early. You are going to have to go now. We can't wait anymore." Kun whispered.
"What? Wait…I…I can't go now. I haven't even taken out the tracing chip from the shuttle. They'll find me." Bulma whispered back.
"Don't worry about that Bulma. It's been taken care of. I am a genius too you know. Now go. We can't afford more time."
"Um…Alright. Thanks Kun, for everything. I promise I will come back for you. I will not leave you here. I promise." Bulma said as she was going inside a big enough space shuttle for her.
"Thanks Bulma. But I'm afraid this is where I will die. But don't worry about me. They won't suspect me. They know you're bright enough to escape on your own. Now, I have punched in the coordinates to Namek. Go now! And Bulma?"
"Yes?"
"Good luck kid." Kun pressed the button to close the shuttle. He stepped back waiting for the shuttle to take off.
"Thanks Kun. I will miss you" Bulma whispered and turned to the control panel to take off.
The purr of the engine made both Bulma and Kun sigh in relieve. As the shuttle took off Kun turned around and went back inside.
A month later, in Vegetasei….
King Vegeta sat in his throne while Frieza sat across from him. Frieza was drinking wine and his henchmen. Zarbon and Dodoria sat at opposite sides next to Frieza as they only heard the uncomfortable silence. King Vegeta's bodyguards, Nappa and Raditz stood behind him carefully scrutinizing Frieza's moves. They were ready to sacrifice their lives for their King.
King Vegeta broke the silence. "Well Frieza, tell me what brings you to my planet yet again."
"Your elite warriors have not found the human girl and I am growing impatient King Vegeta. I need competent Saiyans at my disposal. I need to find the little bitch who stole my files." Frieza said.
Frieza had asked King Vegeta to send some of his warriors to different planets to look for the human girl. But after a month of searching, the Saiyan warriors had come without the human girl. And Frieza's patience was thinning out every day.
King Vegeta had provided Frieza with elite warriors to help him find Bulma. King Vegeta decided to do so in order to maintain peace between the two leaders. But King Vegeta found it amusing that a human woman was able to steal Frieza's files and escape his naval base. She was definitely worth finding. King Vegeta thought of something.
"Alright Frieza. This time I will give you the one warrior that has never failed me. He will find your human girl and bring her to you."
Frieza, narrowing his eyes, answered: "Oh really? Well who might that be?"
"My son. Prince Vegeta. Of course I will have to talk to him about it first. But I'm sure I can persuade him into accepting. What do you say?"
"That is interesting. I'm sure the Prince is more capable than the elites you gave me at first. Alright talk to your son and I hope for your own good, King Vegeta, that he accepts."
With a smirk, King Vegeta responded: "There's no need to make threats Frieza. I am sure my son will take on that challenge. He's been complaining about not having anything interesting to do. This will give him something to focus on."
"When will I have an answer?" Frieza asked.
King Vegeta tilted his toward Nappa. "Nappa send for my son. Tell him I need to speak with him now."
Nappa nodded and exited the King's chambers. King Vegeta turned his attention back to Freza. "You will have an answer in just a few minutes. But I have to ask you to leave me alone while I speak to the Prince. Wait in your ship while my son and I deliberate the situation. I will come to you."
King Vegeta knew his son would accept. He only had to explain everything to the Prince. He had to tell him that if he found the girl, the Saiyans race might actually have an upper-hand against Frieza.
Without saying anything, Frieza and his men headed back to their ship to wait for their answer.
Vegeta and Kakarot were doing push ups in the gym. They were the only ones up so early. Even before the sun had risen. As best friends, Vegeta and Kakarot always kept each other in check as far as their training went. They wanted to see who could do more. So far, they were at 1000 push ups and both had not yet broken a sweat. They were still counting.
"Give it up Kakarot. I will rise victorious in this little match." Vegeta said with a smirk.
Kakarot laughed before saying: "Yeah right. You know we're even. So this can go either way. And might I add that I feel vey confident right now."
Suddenly Nappa stormed into the gym yelling for the Prince. Vegeta flinched as he heard his name with his very sensitive hearing. He stopped his push ups to look at the one who had disrupted him. Damn it! He can't kill him since it is one his father's bodyguards. Vegeta then turned his gaze on Kakarot who by now had quickened his pace and was 20 push ups ahead of him. Kakarot had an ear-to-ear smile that only infuriated Vegeta even more. Nappa run closer to Vegeta until he stopped in front of him. Nappa bowed.
"Prince Vegeta, your father requests your presence immediately. It is very urgent. He is in the throne chambers."
"Hah! I win Vegeta! And YOU LOSE my friend" Kakarot said while still doing push ups.
"Stop it Kakarot! You did not win anything. I was distracted by this moron. I said stop doing the push ups!" Vegeta said as he rose from the floor.
"Alright. You don't have to get all worked up about it. Geez, I swear you too competitive sometimes." Kakarot responded as he got up from the floor and was now stretching his arms out.
"Let's go see what my father wants Kakarot. I get a feeling we might actually have something interesting to do." Vegeta said as he walked behind Nappa.
"About time. Hey, why do you say that?" Kakarot asked as he ran to join Vegeta.
Letting out a sigh Vegeta responded. "Because Frieza's still here. And this is the third time he's come in the last month."
"What is it father?" Vegeta asked as he stepped into the throne chambers.
"I've got a special assignment for you son. I need you to find a girl and bring her back to Frieza."
"A girl? Why is this girl so important?" Vegeta asked as he stepped into the throne next to his father's and sat.
"This human girl stole something from Frieza and he wants it back. He also wants her back alive to teach her a lesson. Unfortunately, our elite warriors have failed in tracing her. So I offered your services."
"I am no bounty hunter. I am the Prince and future King of this planet so I will not degrade myself." Vegeta said as he crossed his arms across his chest and slumped back into his throne.
"Well if you're the Prince and future King sit like it son. It is embarrassing to see you sit like that in your throne."
Kakarot was now laughing like a maniac by the way the King reprimanded his friend.
Vegeta blushed a little and straightened his posture. "Kakarot, you better shut up!"
"I'm sorry Vegeta…hahaha… Hey, let's do it. We haven't had any real adventures lately. Honestly, my muscles are getting a little stiff. Besides it should be fun being bounty hunters for once in our lives."
King Vegeta smiled at Kakarot's enthusiasm.
"Son, if you find the girl and get her to give you a cop of every file she has then we can have an advantage over Frieza and…"
"And then we can get rid of the alliance we have with him. I get it father."
"So what do you say son?"
"Fine. I'll do it. But what will I do with the girl after I get the files?"
"Turn her into Frieza. He'll deal with the girl. Poor girl though, Frieza will torture her first and give her to his warriors to do whatever they want with her and then she will die. But that happens when you take what it is not yours."
"Whatever. At least I will have something to do in the next few weeks. Kakarot let's prepare for take off." Vegeta said as he walked out of the throne chambers. Kakarot walked beside him.
"See ya later King Vegeta. I'll watch out for the Prince." Kakarot said as he waved to his King.
"I know you will Kakarot, I know you will. Vegeta I will let Frieza know of your decision. Good luck to the two of you." King Vegeta yelled to the two Saiyans as the doors of the throne closed behind them.
King Vegeta did as he said. He informed Frieza the Prince had accepted to look for the human girl and bring her back to him. The Prince had his own conditions. He was to travel in his own spaceship only with Kakarot. He was going to report back only when he had found the girl. Frieza was not allowed to harass him with his questions or with any more demands. Frieza accepted because he knew Prince Vegeta was going to find her.
So Prince Vegeta and Kakarot were on their way to where the last perimeter the other Saiyan elite warriors had ended their search. The next planet on the coordinates was Namek. The other elite warriors dismissed the peaceful planet since its habitants completely lacked any technology. The simply did not see the human girl landing in a planet where the only activity was agriculture. But Vegeta knew he had to check it out.
It would only take three days to get to Namek.
In Namek, Bulma had reunited with his friends and had formed a very special friendship with the Nameks. They were beginning to make plans bring back Earth with their dragonballs. But there was only one problem. If they did ask for this, Frieza will simply destroy it again. They just hoped someone or something would be able to help them kill Frieza.
Next chapter: Bulma's life in Namek. Then Vegeta's arrival. How will he react to the truth that Bulma never stole anything that was not hers. She simply took it back.
