PROLOGUE
It has only been a few days since they've landed on Namek, but to her it seemed like an eternity. Her face was weary from the suns, the battles, and the compounding stress of finding those damn dragon balls. It wasn't easy being only human, but that is what she was…human. No abilities to save her except for her cunning, her logic, and her incredible ability to assess risk versus reward. It was evident that she was the only one who could save herself, as the other fighters were constantly in battle…or just missing from her presence altogether. These constant absences from the ones who've saved her planet multiple times over had enabled her to grow stronger, to learn how to fight, and gave her the opportunity to fill the physical void of strength with technological genius. Yes, she was human, but she wasn't a human you'd want to pick a fight with unless you were ready to suffer her wrath.
However…this wrath grew more and more tired as the days went by. Not only was she tasked with protecting the dragon balls from entering enemy hands, she was also tasked in finding them. She, a human, on an alien world where all of her adversaries were so powerful. She was entrusted with this task knowing full well that if any enemy faced her that she might not be able to win. But, she was cunning, and always had a contingency plan for when things went south. They would never get to the dragon balls…not even over her dead body.
Then the day came where everywhere you looked an enemy was rearing their heads at the Z fighters. Friends fought with foes against a bigger enemy today, and Bulma was caught in the middle. The fights were usually kept a distance from Bulma for many reasons. This would avoid the enemy from knowing of her on Namek, and questioning her presence. But not today-not for Vegeta. He He was well aware of her, and he was determined to follow her. He had asked himself why these fighters from Earth had the need to bring a "weak" human along? Any seasoned fighter or warrior would deduce that she was part of a plan, and would want to use her mystery as leverage to get what they want from her comrades. He would get her alone, and he would get his answers.
Except today, the fights did not occur far away where Bulma could slip around the area, and covertly acquire the dragon balls…instead, it was right over her, and there was nowhere for her to go, nothing for her to do, except fight.
