a/n: Another fanfic I started out of the blue. To be honest, I was reading Lone saiyan woman's - Stolen life fanfic and this story came to my mind with just one word of Nappa: Attack. In that moment I heard Gaston "I say we kill the beast!" Dunno how this happened and everything else came in order. I know, my stupid and random ideas at times. So thanks for the inspiration Lone saiyan woman ;) I also recommend you read her fanfic! She's superb, really. She wrote one of my favourite fanfics.
Anyway, guess this starts from the beginning, eh. I don't own DBZ and Beauty and the Beast, as much as I love them but do enjoy bringing both of them together :'D
I hope you like the idea, too. I'd like to read your opinions and see if this is worth continuing. So, enough talk for now. Have fun!
Beauty and the Beast
Chapter 1 - Unwelcome Guest
Once upon a time, in a famous capital city, a young hero lived in a shiny castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the hero was spoilt with fame, money and power. Everyone loved him and overwhelmed him with gifts and even their daughters. A hero he became by winning countless tournaments until no one dared to challenge the hero. But then, on a sunny day when the hero planned to take a walk around his estate, a beautiful blue-haired pixy fell from the sky and asked for help. Repulsed by her sudden appearance and attention seeking help, he sneered at he pixy and turned around. But she warned him not to be deceived by prejudgement, for every individual wasn't the same as those who exploit kindness. And when he dismissed her again...
"YOU ASSHOLE! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE A BEAUTIFUL LADY ON THE GROUND WITH DIRT ON HER FACE. I WILL CURSE YOU!"
The hero tried to compromise, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Rejected by his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with seven dragon balls as his only window to the outside world. The dragon balls she had given him was enchanted was truly an enchanted, which would lose its brilliancy until his 21st year. If he could save 100 individuals, and earn their trust in return by the time he last star lost its brilliancy, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, his stubbornness and pride hindered him to open his heart to other people. He lost all hope.
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
Chi Chi always asked her father, "Why this village? Why did you choose this village and not a normal one?" Reason was – this village educated fighters, women and men. When she said educated fighters, it was just that. Cooking was left o the men. Reading and writing was left to the men,. Other occupations were left to the men. Heck, even doing chores was left for the men. Women were only used to fight and nothing else. If she was caught in doing anything else she was a cast out and labelled as freaks. Chi Chi scoffed. It's this village that's crazy and nothing else!
Due to Ox-King work as a smith and the peaceful area around him, which could also be named as naïve, he didn't care for such customs. Chi Chi helped him out in anything regarding the household and fry pan designs. She read books, loved reading books and drew new designs for her father, whenever she came up with a new idea.
So, Chi Chi and Ox-King were the village's freaks. Better to live as a freak then like complete robots.
But the village didn't only have freaks but their favourites, too. The most talented man in fighting, cleaning, cooking, riding a horse and simply everything he tried for the firs time – he performed it perfectly. He was a dream for every women in the country. How unfortunate for Chi Chi, he had his eyes on the beauiful fighter. There wasn't a day he hadn't claimed her to be his wife and there wasn't a day Chi Chi rejected him every time he asked. It was a matter of life and death whenever Chi Chi left her house to buy food supplies from the market.
"Chi Chi!"
For example, at this very moment. Chi Chi rolled her eyes. How very unfortunate. He came at her with a flying kick which Chi Chi easily dodged by stepping aside. With a grace he landed on his feet and arched his muscular back for Chi Chi to eye on. But she simply past him and didn't regard him with her attention.
"Vegeta, just leave me alone. I'm very busy today," she said as she walked past him. However, her path was blocked yet again as he landed a hit with his fist on her side. Chi Chi jumped aside, landed on a one leg and with her other one she kicked him right at his chin.
Vegeta was surprised about quick counterattack and caressed his chin, with a cocky grin on his mouth. "No one is more suited than you to be my wife."
"I'm sorry, Vegeta. I don't deserve you. How about making someone else unhappy, hm?" Her tone was flat, since all patience for this man was drained out. Ah, wait, Popo! I still need to get the tools you have for my father!" She rushed toward the dark-skinned man and discarded Vegeta to his own soliloquy.
"She's right, nobody deserves you. You're the wildest and most gorgeous thi-"
"Vegetaaaaa!"
Vegeta sighed. "Nappa, how many times do I have to tell you to NOT DISTURB ME." A vein popped on his temples, throbbing with each sharp breath he exhaled.
A famous man, such as Vegeta, was never alone without his loyal underling Nappa. Like a dog, he walked around anywhere Vegeta was. He smoothed his anger and praised him like nobody else would – beside himself.
Chi Chi rolled her eyes at them and hurried to find the items her father asked her to buy before their attention changed to the girl again.
Ox-King placed his fry pans on the carriage and arranged Steak, his horse, for the next delivery. Chi Chi helped her father and aided him when he got onto the carriage, the rein in his hands.
"What do you want me to bring you when I return?" Ox-King asked his beloved daughter.
She smiled and caressed Steak's mane. "An apple."
"Child, why do you always ask for an apple? Why not a dress, a book or something else? I can get you this much."
"It reminds me of the day when mother, you and I spent the day on the fields. She gave me the most delicious apple. I want to cherish this happy memory of us."
"It will be an apple, then," he said with a loving smile on his lips. "Take care of yourself. I will be back tomorrow."
"Until tomorrow, Papa!" Chi Chi waved and waited until her father was out of sight, a smile on her lips. He was a hard-working father to keep her safe with a celling over her head and a full stomach. "Well, guess I could clean the house while I have nothing else to do." Chi Chi turned to go back into her house and took a glimpse of someone she wanted to avoid at any cost – Vegeta – and practically ran toward her house. Dangerously enough, he was fast to and almost caught her but Chi Chi opened the door in time.
"Chi Chi, I want you to-"
"No, thank you!" And slammed the door and sighed in relief. Carefully she spied through the window to see if the man was still there. Another relieved sigh past her mouth when Vegeta gave up and retreated.
"Madame Vegeta,
Can't you just see it?"
Chi Chi took the broom and wiped off the dust from the ground. Then she dropped it dramatically, moving over to the table.
"Madame Vegeta, his little wife, ugh!
No, Sir, not me, I guarantee it."
She mobbed the table and threw the rag over her shoulder. Taking the garbage, Chi Chi walked out from the behind door and threw it away.
"I want so much more than this robot life."
Chi Chi ran to the field behind their house and dropped herself on high green grass.
"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere.
I want it more than I can tell,
and for once it might be grand, to have someone understand,
I want so much more than they've got planned."
"Steak, it's just you and me again. Don't you think it's sad how Chi Chi refrains her wishes and always keeps it simple for me? I wish she would be just like any other girl and ask for dresses and whatever girl's like around her age. But then, she's my daughter. Her interests lay somewhere else," he barked a laughter, amusing himself during the lonely travel. Steak and Ox-King turned from their usual pathway and twisted into another path. But the old man didn't notice, unfortunately not in time. His surrounding changed from a light greenery into a tight forest. The tree were tall enough to block the sky and with it the sun and the warmth. Instead it was dark, cold and a loud thunder resounded from deep within the forest even though the sky was covered by the trees. Ox-King couldn't see anything.
"S-Steak, I think... we only need to stay on the road and everything w-will be clear again! We'll get out of here, I'm sure," he assured Steak and himself. But the further he went the narrower the path got. The carriage squeezed through the narrow path and tightening trees in time when finally they reached the open again.
"Didn't I tell you, Stea- Oh!"
Ox King's eyes widened and he couldn't trust his eyes anymore. A huge estate greeted him instead of he capital he actually wanted to arrive at. There was a enormous villa was at the top of the hill and the from yard took about a mile until he finally reached the villa. "How about we rest here, Steak? We should leave when the sky cleared again, don't you think?"
Suddenly a loud rumble came from very close. Ox-King cried aloud and crouched down to his knees. Steak, though, he jumped in shook and dashed back to the way he came back and left his owner behind. "Steak, come back!" But it was fruitless, the frightened friend reached the front yard and galloped toward the exit.
"W-well, I'll stay here for a while before I leave again," he said and turned toward the entrance. He opened the gigantic door and entered the villa. "Hellooooo? Is there someone? I'm sorry for the intrusion. It's storming outside and I lost my way. I- I only want to stay for a few hours and then leave again."
Ox-King scrutinised his surrounding with awe. He wasn't a professional but he could see the value in the furniture. A room to the right had its door slightly open and he thrust his head though in curiosity. "Excuse me, I really didn't mean to bother. Thank you so much for accepting me for the time being. Ah, a fire!" The room was warm due to the fire, and as perfectly decorated as it was, there was a sofa with a blanket at the fire. Beside the sofa at the end of the room he found a small three rich with golden apples.
"What beautiful apples," he mumbled as his eyes were glued on the tree, enchanted by the beauty. "Chi Chi would love this if I brought her one of these." (a/n: It's the tree in Hell, which belongs to Kaio Shin, remember? Goku ate one even though it was forbidden. Well, now it's his tree.)
"Did you hear something?" A pig-shaped shadow asked. The voices came from outside the room.
Another one bald shadow entered the scene, looking through the slit into the room. "I think someone came in."
"Oh, no... We have to tell him before he finds out!"
"Who's there?" Ox-King asked in panic, jumping off of the sofa with the blanket falling to the ground. He heard voices from the door and gulped. Gingerly, each step taken with much courage, he walked toward the door. "I know you're there. Please, come forth so I can show my gratitude in person."
With a squeak the door slowly opened and two persons revealed themselves to Ox-King. Both casually greeted the man but he gasped dramatically, pointing a finger at them. "You are a talking pig! And you-... You don't have a nose!"
"How rude! I'm not a pig! I'm called Oolong," said the pig called Oolong.
"I may not have a nose but I'm still human! Name's Krillin," he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. Another one who pointed his noseless face out.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be rude. It's just you look so... different," Ox-King finally said, waving his hands over his chest. He was very grateful toward the owner of this house, so it was no wonder he angered those who showed kindness. "You're the owner of this villa, right? I wanted to thank you for," he paused, seeing how Oolong covered his face with his ears and Krillin sweating heavily. Furthermore a large shadow fused with his under it was engulfed and took a different shape.
"No, I am." Said a voice from behind. "Who told you to enter my house without consent?"
Ox-King drastically turned around. The first thing he saw was a maroon-called tail, waving agitatedly behind him. It soon followed by a chest, covered by maroon fur. Then the yellow eyes, penetrating right through him and paralysing the old man on spot. Behind the Ox-King had been a window, which he hadn't noticed before until this very moment when a bolt struck again, revealing the fur man's face. He was a maroon monkey beast!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Ox-King's feet gave way and he fell onto the ground helplessly. "P-Please, I- I only came in because of the thunder a-and I also lost my way. My horse," he stuttered but was cut short as the monkey monster took hold of his collar, forcing him to look into his penetrating eyes again. "I'm sorry! Please, don't kill me!"
A sound distracted the both of them when suddenly a golden apple rolled on the ground before the beast's feet. Ox-King shivered, a cold sweat running down his spine at the sight of the beast's glare. "I-..."
"Who allowed you to take ONE OF MY APPLES," he roared at his face, tightening his grip around his collar and forcing a cough from the poor man. Without saying another word the beast took the man away, deeper into the dark villa.
"We should have thrown the man out while we could," Oolong said, uncovering his ears from his face.
"It's your fault! Why didn't you just barge in and took him out? But no, you had to play mystery game when you knew he was in a bad mood again. You stupid pig!" Krillin barked at him, giving his head a big hard slap.
"OUCH! IT WAS YOUR FAULT!" Oolong screamed at him and gave him a much harder slap on Krillin's bald head.
Chi Chi sat at a table in their garden and drew some fry pan designs she could show her father later when he returned. With each stroke of her
