Bulma was woken up by a strong electric shock in her side. She looked around her and saw that she was alone in a small, disgusting cell. She was met with a handsome looking alien with bluish skin and a long green braid. Maybe he's here to rescue me. She thought hopefully but quickly got that thought out of her head. If he were going to rescue me, he wouldn't wake me up with a fucking cattle prod.
"The blue beauty awakens! It's about damn time too, Lord Frieza is growing impatient."
Bulma got to her feet and backed into the corner of the cell. "Where am I?" she asked nervously.
"Isn't it obvious? I thought being the daughter of a scientist would grant you some intelligence, but I suppose not. You're imprisoned on Lord Frieza's ship, you stupid weakling."
I'm in space? Oh Kami, this is Frieza's ship? But then where are-
"Where are my parents?!" she asked him, afraid of the answer.
"They are of no concern of yours anymore. A beauty like yourself should be concerned with your own safety" he said threateningly while opening the door for her cell. He grabbed her arm and yanked her out into the narrow hallway so he could put restraints on her wrists.
"Let's go. And try not to lag behind, many of Frieza's men haven't been with a woman in quite some time and I'd hate for you to be spoiled before you get to Frieza." He brought his hand up to Bulma's face and stroked her cheek, she shivered under his touch out of pure fear.
"Now be a good girl and follow me." He turned his back to her and started walking away for Bulma to catch up to him.
They walked through the ship and Bulma was captivated by the technology around her. She didn't get to look around too much as she definitely didn't want to get separated from the intimidating alien. There were many twists and turns through the ship, she tried to remember them all but she soon lost track. They stopped in front of a large set of ornate doors and Bulma could almost sense the evil that was inside.
The doors opened and she saw a weird, purplish alien in a hover chair. Bulma suddenly felt her body seize up and she couldn't move an inch. She was yanked forward and placed right in front of Frieza, she couldn't help but stare into the eyes of the most powerful and feared being in the universe. She suddenly felt another strong electric shock on the back of her knees forcing her to kneel down.
"You will kneel in the presence of Lord Frieza!"
A feminine, sinister voice answered back. "Now now Zarbon, the girl is new here after all. Tell me girl, have you any talents?"
Bulma sat confused. Do I tell him I'm a genius like my father? If I confessed to that, who knows what kind of killing machines they might have me make. But if I dont, I dread what they would do with me… When Bulma didn't respond, Zarbon spoke up.
"I highly doubt the girl possesses any kind of talent like her father. She might be more suited for the brothels, my lord."
When she heard that she froze on the spot. She was still a virgin, Kami knows what awful things would await her in the brothel. But Frieza seemed to be pondering his decision before he spoke again.
"Can you perform?" Bulma looked up at him confused. She mustered every shred of courage she could before she answered him.
"Perform how?"
"Singing or dancing. You see, I have a need for a performer to entertain myself and my men. I'm interested to see if you possess any of these talents because you are quite an exotic beauty that I imagine would look particularly delectable performing for me. Now then, let's see if you are up to the challenge. Sing for me."
How could I possibly perform for him right now? I don't have any options here at all… but what do I sing? The minutes ticked by and Frieza was getting impatient. He started drumming his fingers on the armrest before he spoke.
"If you lack the capability then I suppose I can have Zarbon ready a room at the brothel." he looked at Zarbon who had an evil grin on his face.
"No wait!" Bulma shouted.
"Then sing for me, my blue beauty." Frieza was clearly getting annoyed and Bulma didn't have much time left until he would be fed up with her.
Bulma suddenly thought of her mother and the song she used to sing. Timidly, Bulma started to sing.
Stars shining bright above youNight breezes seem to whisper "I love you"Birds singing in the sycamore treesDream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss meJust hold me tight and tell me you miss meWhile I'm alone and blue as can beDream a little dream of me
When she finished, Frieza's expression hadn't changed. The prolonged silence was making her so anxious that her hands started shaking.
"Well that was… a pleasant surprise. Zarbon, take her to the performer chamber. See that she is fed and given proper attire. You'll be singing for me again tomorrow night, my little beauty."
Tomorrow night?! That's so soon! How can I prepare for that? And what about music? Am I performing acapella? Oh Kami, what if I don't sing well tomorrow?
The panic was starting to settle in for Bulma but, oddly, Frieza eased her panic, as if he could read her thoughts.
"Worry not, you will have musical accompaniments. They will assist you."
The doors suddenly opened and a man walked in with a scowl on his face, a fuzzy belt around his waist, and black hair that seemed to defy gravity as it stood straight up in the shape if a flame. Bulma thought he resembled the men who took her from her home but he was much shorter in comparison.
"You wanted to see me, Frieza?"
Frieza looked pissed. Him and the mystery man stared each other down until Frieza addressed Zarbon.
"Zarbon, take the girl and leave. I have to… speak with Vegeta here."
Zarbon roughly picked Bulma off the floor and she gave a small yelp. She caught the attention of Vegeta when she stood up. They briefly locked eyes and her knees gave out from under her. Zarbon raised his arm to strike her and she waited for the blow to come.
But it never came. Instead, she looked up and saw that Vegeta had stopped Zarbon's arm with his.
"Really now, Vegeta. You think you could beat me? After our last fight when you barely made it to the regen tank I thought you'd learn your lesson. Looks like I'll have to teach you another one!"
He went to hit Vegeta when Frieza interrupted them.
"Leave my monkey alone, Zarbon. Him and I have a prior engagement and it seems he did me a favor. I doubt the human girl could have gotten back up from your attack, they are so weak after all. Take the girl and leave."
"But Lord Frieza! Vegeta defied you and he must be punished!" A loud slap sounded out and Zarbon fell to the ground next to Bulma.
"AND I WILL PUNISH THE MONKEY MYSELF YOU WORTHLESS OAF! NOW TAKE THE GIRL AND LEAVE!"
Zarbon struggled to his feet and pulled Bulma up with him. She met the eyes of Vegeta again and felt a strange energy around them, she couldn't describe it. It was as though if she weren't in restraints and being pulled away, she would have gone right to him like a magnet. Unbeknownst to Bulma, Vegeta felt a strange energy as well. He sensed a small rise in her ki as they briefly looked at each other. He watched them start to walk out until Frieza caught his attention.
"Oh and Zarbon, after you drop the girl off, prepare a regen tank for Vegeta. He's going to need it." he chuckled darkly.
"Yes, Lord Frieza. As you wish." The doors closed behind them and Bulma heard a loud crash followed by a guttural roar and Frieza laughing. She almost became sick from the sounds until Zarbon pulled her away saying "Let's go!"
