Here's my next attempt at a fanfiction. This time it happens to be mainly about Vegeta and Bulma, but it's not a get together. It fits within the normal DragonBall Z timeline(before the Androids come), but I changed the history of the Saiyans a bit. And right now, it might not seem like much of a romance, but there will be some! The only thing is you're gonna have to wait for the very end! Disclaimer: You know the drill, I don't own DragonBall Z, or any of the characters... now on with the story!
Search for Revenge
Part 1
Betrayal?
It was a day just like any other in West City. Busy streets, honking horns, the usual. Bulma was just exiting the West City Mall, with 5 shopping bags filled with various items.
There was one problem for Bulma-- it was raining very hard, and she had lost the capsule for her air car.
"Damnit! Where'd I put that thing?"
She fiddled around in her purse, but gave up because her purse wasn't all that big. If she didn't find it the first time looking, that meant it wasn't there.
'How could I have forgotten that?'
"Great, now I'll have to take the shortcut."
The shortcut was an alley that went around the mall, merging on to a road leading you straight to Capsule Corp.
It was dark, narrow, and basically unsafe, but it was fast.
Now, she could have decided to just stay at the mall until it stopped raining. Bulma thought about it, but decided not to since she had no idea when it was going to stop raining. And besides, she would be home very shortly since the shortcut took about 10 minutes if she walked fast.
She walked out from under ledge that gave her temporary shelter from the rain, and ran to the alley on the side of the mall.
While walking down, there was a rustle in the garbage bags beside her. Paying no attention, Bulma kept on walking.
Once again, there was another noise, but this time it came from behind.
Bulma turned her head, still walking because she was too afraid to stop.
She turned her head back, satisfied with the thought that it was just the rain. Just as she did this, she rammed right into something very hard.
It made her fall back, landing on her rear rather unceremoniously. At the same time her bags, along with the contents flew everywhere.
"Is this the one?" a voice asked.
"Yes," another one hissed.
Terrified, Bulma looked up, realizing it wasn't something she hit, but someone. She saw two figures, who were most likely fighters. By what she could tell from their outlines, they both had a muscular build.
'Oh Kami, what do they want with me?'
There was a period of silence, and all that could be heard was the rain falling to the gound.
Finally, one figure spoke."Bulma Briefs, you will cooperate with us."
She shivered.
It was from the thought of doing anything with them, the tone of the figure's voice, and she only had a tank top on under the pouring rain.
The two figures smiled sinisterly, though she didn't see.
"You will help us get Vegeta."
"... V-Vegeta?.. What do you... want him for?"
"That's none of your business woman!," one of them snapped.
Another pause.
"So, will you cooperate... or would you rather die now?"
Bulma shivered again. She had to do something, and fast.
She started looking at the area around her.
"Well?," one asked getting impatient.
"I..."
"Yes?," they all but used force at this time.
Her eyes darted around frantically for some distraction. Anything to get away.
Finally, in the barely lit alley, she spotted her purse.
'Of course.'
Her hand reached out to it, trying not to make any noise. Still facing the figures she blindly searched through it when her hands felt what she was looking for.
Summoning all the courage she had at the moment she stood up and looked at the figures, one arm behind her back.
'I hope this works.'
Trying to make her voice steady to show that she wasn't afraid of them, she spoke.
"No."
That's all she said.
And when she did, she automatically threw the capsule that was in her hand to the figures' feet.
As soon as the smoke covered them, she ran right by them faster than she ever ran before.
Will Bulma make it to Capsule Corp.? Or will the figures stop her right away? Find out in the next part of Search for Revenge!
So how was the first part? I know it's kind of short, but the parts get longer... I think....Anyways, more is coming soon, when I have the chance to type it. Please review!
