Thrown from the Throne
Hiya,peeps! This is my second story on Dragonball Z! Okay, but before we start,I want to make something clear. I said to please correct me on my mistakes, not make a big deal out of everything I write! Yes, still tell me what I did wrong, but no need for names! The next time I see one of these, I will remove the review. KK? I HATE talking like that! Anyways, if you are here for action, adventure or romance, you came to the right place! This is a story about... wait I don't want to give too much away. You probably read the summary, anyways, so just read on!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon ball Z and I never will.
"Not again, Bulma!" the store manager yelled. Bulma looked at the weird looking watch she stole. It'll have to do for now, she thought as she put it in her pocket. She quickly looked for a way to escape, and saw the door. An easy exit, she thought. "Peace!" she smiled as she showed her signature pose before walking out the door. She casually walked out as if nothing happened. However, she started to sprint when she heard the familiar sound of a police officers with deadly guns behind her. "When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna...," the manager cursed, but Bulma was already too far away to hear it. That was 18-year-old Bulma's life. It was steal, run, hide, spend, and then the cycle starts over. Luckily, she never got to the got to a new added jail part. Usually, you would think, oh, she is going to be captured. It's car vs. human. However, Bulma was different. She had the ability to run as if there was no tomorrow, at the speed of lighting. It almost reminded her of that superhero that could run fast... who was it... Flash. He had used his super speed for good. I'm sure you already know that Bulma was no superhero. She was a criminal. An bad, wanted criminal. And now was not the time to turn good. Of course, everyone was a wanted criminal if you weren't from Planet Vegeta.
FLASHBACK TIME!
"Dad! I'm leaving for my studies!" a Bulma of 16 years said.
"Be careful, honey!" Mr. Briefs called back to her. His eyes got all watery. "They grow so fast," he smiled, and went inside to wave good-bye. Bulma was conducting research for a project that she planned on doing today. If her predictions were correct, there were living creatures about a few billion light-years away from here. Curious to see if she was correct, she borrowed her friend Goku's pod and remodeled it to create an even larger pod, enough for ten people to live in there with ease. With a pod like this, she would be able to get there in 6 months, tops. As soon as she was done with the pod, Bulma got ready to go up into space to see if she was correct.
The time in the space pod drooped by as slow as a slug but within 4½ months, she thought it was worth it. As she stepped out of the enlarged space pod with her space suit on and onto the smooth, barren ground. The place awed Bulma. There were little creatures that looked similar to squirrels frolicking up and down the trees that grew beautiful shades of green. This place is so peaceful, she thought. Maybe it's a safe environment to live in. She slowly took off her space suit and took a small whiff of air. "It's breathable!" she grinned. "I can't wait until dad see this!" Wondering about the other creatures that lived there, Bulma decided to adventure out and look. There were many animals similar to the animals back on Earth, but there was always was I slight difference. She could get used to this place! Just as Bulma was about to head back home, a loud explosion came from not too far away from there. Were there other dangerous creatures on this planet? As she slowly got closer and closer to the sound, she saw little bees flying around everywhere. However, when she was close enough to see clearly, she knew those weren't bees. Those were humans! And for some reason, they were celebrating by having a parade. On a big banner, it said, 'Good-bye Lord Frieza and hello, Prince Vegeta!' and showed and young man with long, black, spiky hair standing straight up smirking. That guy is a nut ball! Once she was a few yards away from the parade, she stopped sneaking around and started to watch. There were many pictures of the man they called Prince Vegeta and of a feminine looking alien creature named Frieza. As she leaned in a little closer to read what the signs said, she stepped on a branch and all eyes were on her.
The Prince was the first one to break the silence. "Who the hell are you?" he asked, looking at her with eyes as cold as steel. Bulma froze. What if they execute me and do an autopsy on me? All of a sudden she felt like a helpless little deer shuddering in a corner as a group of predators approach her.
"…I…I," she stuttered.
"Why aren't you celebrating my victory?" he cut off. Inside her brain, Bulma sighed of relief.
"S-s-sorry,…Prince Vegeta," she said as she quickly got in line and tried not to notice all the glaring faces staring right into her soul.
...
As the party ended, everyone started to go into their homes by flying (Yes, they were definitely flying.) Bulma quickly started to walk back to her space ship. Everyone who flew by including children gave her weird faces and laughed at her. She felt like an outcast. Finally, once she was at her spaceship, she entered home into the destination and waited to get off this stupid planet. Nothing happened. She typed in the coordinates again and waited. Still nothing. "Oh, crap," she muttered. The fudging pod was broken! She needed to get some new parts for it to work again. "I guess I'll have to go back to that place," she mumbled and ventured out to find a store.
All the shops and stores looked so strange to her. They all had weird names like "#1 Saiyan armor" and "Top Notch Gravity Chamber" What did Saiyan mean, she thought as she stopped to look at other signs. Out of the blue, Prince Vegeta appeared in front of her. "We need to talk." He frowned.
Bulma shuddered as Prince Vegeta walked towards her. "I know you're not from around here." He whispered in her ear so soft she barely heard it. "So if you want to survive, I suggest you get your bratty self out of here." He said sharply. Bulma was enraged.
"I would, Mister stuck up snot head, but my pod that brought me here broke down! Unless you can fix that, I can't get off this stupid planet!" she yelled at him, tuning the attention of some fellow citizens flying by. The nerve of that woman, he thought. He tried to calm himself down.
"Look, this planet doesn't have a lot of tech-y stuff that will help you fix your pod. We use other smarter planets to get that." He said trying to act proper. Why was he acting like this? He could blow her to bits just as he did with Frieza if he wanted to!
"Then what planet are you? The dumb planet?" she said sarcastically, mimicking his voice. In the blink of an eye, Prince Vegeta grabbed her by the neck.
"Don't EVER make fun of my people again," he said with fire in his eyes. "Why am I even trying to help you? You are just a worthless piece of trash! People like you make me sick!" he said, not loosening or tightening the grip on her neck.
"V-Vegeta…" she choked. "you're hurting me!" she whispered, her face almost blue. He immediately let go of her neck and backed away, as if she was dangerous. Why did I just do that, he thought and flew away. That was weird, she thought to herself as her breathing turned back to normal. "I guess I'll have to make a living on my own," she sighed, and got ready for her new career as a criminal.
END FLASHBACK
The day I left home was the worst day of my life, she thought to herself. Back to the present! Bulma looked for a place to hide, or maybe get them off track. All of a sudden, a mob of citizens came out of nowhere, charging at a man in the front of the mob. He looked about her age, maybe a little older and was wearing a fancy outfit, as if he were royalty. He wore a long red robe that flowed down past his knees with a royal blue spandex underneath. He wore white boots that oddly matched with his outfit. And to finish it off, he wore a glimmering crown made of pure gold upon his head. Just the right distraction at the right time, she smirked. She headed for where the mob was. The police cars pulled over to the right. They couldn't shoot innocent people! They decided to go the rest of way on foot, even though they knew they probably had no chance. Bulma ran right though the mob, dodging or ducking every person or police officer. The man started to follow Bulma. Idiot! She thought to herself. As Bulma neared the back of the crowd, the man got up to her. "Hey what are you-" she said as he pushed her into a nearby bush.
The crowd nearby rushed past her. The man and one of the people in the mob jumped into the bush, too. After the police and angry mob were gone and out of site, Bulma brushed off all of the leaves and twigs on her and checked to see if she still had the watch. Yup, it was still safe, inside her pocket.
"Uh...thanks," Bulma mumbled to the man.
"Anytime," the man smirked. "Here, let me help you up." he said as he stood up. The blue haired beauty was wearing a raggedy yellow t-shirt that read 'Save the whales' with a comical looking whale waving at no one in particular. She wore the same shirt when she first came here."Give me your hand." She stuck her hand out.
"Thank you. Again." Bulma blushed. As he pulled her up, he looked deep into her blue crystal eyes and pulled her close so that they were only inches apart.
"I should be thanking you," he whispered. Bulma blushed a deep shade of red. But then took a closer look at the man. She quickly backed away.
"Wait, aren't you…"
"About time you noticed," Prince Vegeta smirked his signature smirk, and then gave an evil grin. They hadn't seen each other in two years! "Who knew someone could blush such a deep shade of red?" Bulma showed a face of anger, but it was easily wiped away with a sly grin.
"Prince Vegeta..." she said as she took a step forward. She immediately tripped and fell into the open hands of Prince Vegeta's arms.
"Wh-What?" Prince Vegeta yelled and turned redder than Bulma. He was red as a tomato. This was closest he was ever to anyone, let alone a woman! He wasn't even this close to his father! "Get off me, woman!" he shouted at her. Bulma hugged him tighter.
"My name is Bulma, not woman!" she smiled and waited for an answer.
"Fine! Get off me, Bulma, before I blast you to bits!" Bulma backed away, approvingly.
"Who knew someone could blush such a deep shade of red?" she said, copying him.
"S-Shut up!" he said, blushing so hard it was hurting him.
"…Well,I have to get going," she lied and quickly ran away. Prince Vegeta questioningly looked at his loyal subject who witnessed it all.
"What was that all about, Nappa?" he asked, and the Nappa shrugged.
"I don't know, but you just missed a really fine girl, Prince Vegeta." Nappa said thoughtfully."You should go after her."
"Okay, first of all, I not going to chase that woman down!" The Prince Vegeta grinned mischievously."Oh, but she'll come back," he said, starting to walk down the street and motioned his subject to join him.
"And how are you so sure of that?" Nappa asked, wanting to know the Prince's plan.
"I don't know," he said, telling him he was hiding something. Prince Vegeta held out his hand and showed Nappa the fancy watch. "I guess I just have a feeling."
"Well, you guys must be made for each other!" Nappa said surprised.
"And why would that be?" Prince Vegeta sighed, thinking what was wrong with Nappa.
"She stole something of yours, too!" he said, pointing at the Prince's nicely shaped hair. His crown was gone! "
Why that little…"
...
Bulma was already on the other side of town. She hoped he wasn't with the police or something. Maybe he put a tracking device on her. That reminded her of her crown and watch. Well, it wasn't exactly hers, since she stole it. But, you know. She dug inside her pocket. Only the crown was there. Maybe the watch was the other pocket, she thought as she checked the other one. Nothing. Teddy started to panic. Did she lose it? It was too valuable and time consuming for her to ever find it again. Then a thought hit her. Prince Vegeta. Oh, that fiend! He must have seen her check her pocket for the watch and then played ladies' man to re-steal it! "Damn it!" she yelled and cursed at the Prince as she thought about all the work she had been through to get that watch. She was so close, yet so far. "I'm gonna get that man if it's the last thing I re-re-steal!" she screamed as she zoomed back to the crime scene.
Well, how did you like it? If you loved it, great! There's going to be more action, adventure and romance once we get deeper into the story, so don't worry! Tell me any mistakes you read so I can fix it and so I probably won't make the same mistake in the future. Thank you and as always, REVIEW!
