Bulma's heart was pounding a mile a minute as she frantically fumbled with the controls to shut the gravity machine off. ~Come on!! I don't have time for this!!~
She finally managed to shut the machine off and her father was already opening the door.
Her father was the first to enter the room, followed by Bulma and her mother.
At first, they couldn't see anyone. "I was sure that he was in hear!" Mr. Briefs said in confusion, the little black cat that was forever perched on his shoulder, looked around nervously as well.
The lighting in the room wasn't on all the way, so Bulma pushed a few buttons on the conrtrol panel and the lights intensified.
Her eyes wandered over to the base of the central part and stopped when she noticed something peculiar.
Her hand shot up to her mouth in horror as she realized that it was blood flowing across the floor.
She ran to the other side of the central controls and as she felt herself go numb at the sight before her.
There was the proud Prince of the Saiyajin, completely covered in his own blood. He had numerous leg, chest, head, arm wounds. He looked as if he had dragged through a meat grinder.
Bulma could feel hot tears starting to run down her flawless features as she gently placed a hand on his neck to check for a pulse. ~Oh Kami...~
He had one, but it was VERY faint. It was hardly there at all.
The world just seemed to stop to Bulma. And she was quite startled when some medics from their clinic came and gently pried her loose from the injured Saiyajin.
She got up to follow and suddenly felt nauseated. The world seemed to spin and the last she remembered was seeing the metal floor come rushing at her and then total blackness...
3 hours later...
Vegeta had no idea where he was. The place seemed
to make no since what-so-ever. The sky flashed between red's and then to yellow's. And then sometimes different shades of purple and black. The land was desolate and lonely. Just a barren wast land, devoid of any other person besides himself.
There was no sound from anywhere. Just the never-ending howling of the wind. Vegeta shivered slightly, not really from the rawness of the wind, but from the whole feeling that the place gave him.
Suddenly there was horrible grinding sound and the ground beneath him began to open up revealing the most horrifying place that Vegeta had ever seen. He swore that it must be the gates of Hell itself.
For some reason, he felt incredibly weak and could no longer stay in the air. He began to plummet towards the gapping mouth of the raging inferno below him.
He hit the sides of the jagged rock on the sides of the entrance.
He desperately clawed at the rock trying to pull himself up. But he kept slipping back towards that horrible hells mouth.
People of many different species suddenly appeared above him and began cursing on him and cheering as he frantically clawed and pulled for his life. Some threw rocks, some more spat at him, condemning him to his bitter fate. These were the innocent souls that he taken in his quest for blood.
He could then hear laughing. Horrible mocking laughter. Visions of his father scolding and mocking him. Visions of Freezer and his evil laughter. "Look at the Super Saiyajin now!! Oh my! Hahahaha!!!"
Their laughter rang through his ears and bitter tears began to well up in his eyes.
He was then jerked closer to the that horrible fate as his former partners Nappa and Raditz grabbed him by the legs and began to pull him down.
He screamed as the tears began to flow freely down his face. ~So this is how it ends, ne?~ It wasn't his fault! Didn't anybody care about that?! Didn't anybody care that he hadn't had a choice but to be the way he was?! Apparently not.
He suddenly ran out of rock and just waited to pulled down to his fate...
Nothing happened. He opened his eyes and looked up to see two hands that had an iron grip on his wrists. Those beautiful hands began to pull him back from the depths from the inferno.
His eyes wandered up to the face of his saviour. Flowing blue hair. Crystal blue eyes. The most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
His angel pulled him completely away from the pit and the visions, laughter and fear disappeared.
The angel pulled him close and cradled him in her arms. He could have sworn he felt the brush of her wings wrap around him.
"I will not allow you to be lost. You're forgiven....." She whispered in his ear. Her lips brushed his forehead. "My love......"
. . . . . . . . .
Vegeta woke up and tried to focus his eyes to the
dimness of the room. He suddenly realized that someone else was there.
He tilted his head back and realized that he was in someone's arms. Her arms. She was propped up on his bed with him cradled in her arms.
He finally realized that there was definitely something up with these dreams. First her in the shower and now a much more vivid dream...
What did it mean?! Why was she haunting first his days and now his nights? Could it be that there was something special about this woman?
He didn't get a chance to figure it out because he unknowingly drifted back into a peaceful dreamless sleep...
The next morning...
Bulma woke up and checked to see if Vegeta had
woken up as well. Seeing that he was still asleep, she carefully and gently lifted him off of her and got up, placing him lovingly back down on the pillow.
She looked at him for a minute seeing how peaceful he looked despite his numerous injuries. It had been very close. She was sure that they were going to loose a couple of times. But in the end, he had turned out stable.
Once she had heard that he was going to be alright, she had, as if by instinct, climbed up on the bed with him and curled herself around the Saiyajin Prince.
She didn't know why exactly that had come to her to do that, he just looked like he needed it somehow.
She smiled again and decided that she would go downstairs and get something to eat for herself. She also decided to bring up something for Vegeta as well and see if she could get him to wake up.
And with one last glance at the snoozing Saiyajin, she headed out of the room...
