*Of course i don't own dragonball z!*
~*` CHAPTER 1 `*~
"Bulma! Hey Bulma!"
Bulma looked up from her book. A blur of orange landed right in front of her. She yelped and fell backwards off the rock she was sitting on.
"Bulma?"
She peeked out from behind the rock. Her teal eyebrows narrowed together. "Krillin!! Grrr....Don't scare me like that!" Bulma yelled at him.
"But Bulma, you shouldn't be outside of the cave anyway! It's to dangerous!" Krillin told her in his usual nervous voice.
"I can take care of---Krillin! Is that a dragonball?!" Bulma asked excitedly. She got up and ran over to Krillin. She looked at the large, orange ball wide-eyed. "There big!" She blinked as she looked at it.
"Hai. It sure is! Guru-sama gave it to me. He's the eldest Namek. I have to bring you and Gohan to see this guy!" Krillin looked around, "Hey Bulma, speaking of Gohan, where is he?" She looked up at him from the dragonball.
"Oh ya. The little guy went off to get a dragonball that we found on the dragon-radar. It wasn't that afar away. But don't worry Krillin, there he is now!" Bulma informed him, pointing. Krillin turned to look in the sky where Bulma was pointing. A sweat drop rolled down the side of his baldhead.
"Uh, B-Bulma? T-that's not Gohan!" Krillin replied, beginning to shake nervously. Bulma squinted her eyes to get a closer look. They both suddenly opened wide.
"I-it's Vegeta!!" Her and Krillin said in unison.
Vegeta slowly lowered himself to the ground. Arms crossed, feet shoulder width apart. He looked over at the two Earthlings and smirked sardonically. "Well look what I found here; two little humans from that sorry excuse for a planet, Chikyuu. And one of them has a Dragonball. How convenient." Vegeta's smirk faded. His expression got more serious. "Hand it over, Chrome Dome." Bulma ducked behind Krillin. She put her hands on his shoulders and peeked out at Vegeta. There was a burst of energy in the sky above them. Vegeta turned his head slightly. "It looks like we have some company." He said with his smirk returning. Zarbon flipped out of the sky and landed on one foot on the ground in front of Vegeta. His arms were crossed and his dark, green ponytail swayed in the wind along with his cape. He raised an eyebrow at Vegeta and smiled cynically.
"Well, well, well, here you are Vegeta." Zarbon's green eyebrows drew close together as his eyes fell upon a short, blue-haired woman hiding behind a shorter bald-headed guy. "And who are these two. Humans you've joined forces with?" His gaze then fell upon the Dragonball Krillin was holding. "I believe you have something I need." Zarbon said addressing Krillin, who backed up a little. Vegeta just chuckled.
"Heh. Zarbon, you baka. I'm taking that Dragonball." He smirked mockingly, "To add to my newly acquired collection." The smile faded from Zarbon's face.
"What did you do with Master Freiza's Dragonballs, Vegeta!" Zarbon demanded, glaring at him.
"I lost them." Vegeta answered smirking.
"So, you wanna be smart about this, eh? Fine." Zarbon replied now getting angry.
"Go ahead and transform yourself, Zarbon, so we can get this over with." Vegeta insisted getting into his fighting stance. A low growl came from Zarbon. "You could never defeat me in that pathetic form of yours!"
~I hate transforming, but that stupid monkey is right. Maybe I can beat him in this form. I don't know. It does seem like he's gotten stronger. But how?~ Zarbon thought in his mind. Zarbon flew immediately at Vegeta with his foot out in front of him.
"Come on Bulma! We've gotta get out of here! Maybe we can without either of those two noticing!" Krillin said grabbing Bulma's hand, pulling. She was watching Zarbon and Vegeta fight.
"Krillin, I don't think we'll get very far." Bulma said as they started to run for take-off. Vegeta pounded down on Zarbon's back with both of his fists. Zarbon went flying into the ground. Vegeta looked over and saw Krillin jumping into the air with Bulma and the dragonball.
"Going somewhere?" Vegeta yelled as he shot several blasts directly in front of them. Bulma screamed as Krillin stopped running suddenly. The blasts exploded with tremendous force.
"Darn! I thought for sure that we'd get away!" Krillin growled in disappointment.
"Oww. That kinda hurt ya'know!" Bulma growled back, glaring at Krillin, then at Vegeta in the sky.
"Alright Vegeta, your gonna pay now." Zarbon informed him. Vegeta looked back over at Zarbon who was just regaining his composure after Vegeta's hard hit.
"You can't defeat me Zarbon. Your to weak." Vegeta laughed. He hovered up in the air looking down at Zarbon who was smirking leeringly back.
~Uh oh. What's that guy gonna do now?~ Bulma worried.
Then, Zarbon's arm and leg muscles quickly expanded, growing bigger. His chest popped out, bulging to be just as big as the rest of his muscles. He smiled evilly, showing off his fangs. Bulma ducked down behind Krillin again to hide. "K-Krillin!" Bulma whimpered, "This is definatly not good!" All Krillin could do was nod his head up and down. He was just as scared as Bulma.
