Chapter 2

I do not own DBZ

Bulma hugged onto her lover's muscular frame. She did enjoy his company and he was excellent in bed. Her only regret with him was that she did not love him. She wondered if it was because she had evolved beyond the need for such a useless and distracting emotion. She was too intelligent to get involved in such a way. Even when she was a silly teenager with her fling for Yamcha, she still loved him romantically more than she did Kakarot. She had a list of plausible reasons to love Kakarot, but she was simply incapable. That was just fine. "Do you love me, Kakarot?"

"No." He didn't know why he didn't love her. She was the most powerful woman on the planet and obviously the most brilliant. She was weak, but she was clever enough to get out of any harm. She was adventurous and a free spirit like him. She was frankly gorgeous and had an impressive body to match such a beautiful face. It puzzled him why he didn't love her. There was something holding him back from it. "Is that a problem?"

"No." She nuzzled her head into his chiseled torso. "I'm not in love with you either."

"Well, you're above love."

"I'm above love?" She laughed. "What is that supposed to mean? Shouldn't gods have love and compassion for their people?"

"You're more of an angry god type." He smirked. "It's sexy."

"But if I don't have an emotional connection to you, are you worried that I might hurt or betray you one day?" She was genuinely curious. "Your brother made a valid point, Kakarot. How do you know that I haven't messed with your mind? I could have hooked you up to my machine."

He laughed. "How would you have gotten me down there? I'm too powerful, Bulma. You would have never caught me off guard. Besides, I don't need you to love me to reassure me of our relationship. What we have is a good thing. I do what you say, because it makes my life more convenient. As long as you keep making everyone's life more convenient, you deserve to rule."

She began beaming. "Oh, Kakarot, you always know the right words to say."

"I try." He snuck away from under her and got out of bed. It was important for him to train rigorously. He was excited for his battle against Vegeta and Nappa. There was no one on earth who could compete with him. His last challenge was Piccolo, but he destroyed him. Killing and terrorizing earthlings was occasionally fun, but it certainly wasn't a challenge.

"I finished what you asked for, Kakarot."

"The gravity chamber?" he cheered. He found out more information about his home world. Planet Vegeta's gravity was ten times more than earth, which explained why Kakarot and Raditz had a leg up on the earthlings. That gave Kakarot a great idea and he asked Bulma if he could build a gravity chamber and she got to working on it right away. "I'm sure I'll be able to beat Vegeta, but I'm still hoping for a good fight!"

"You're so weird, Kakarot. What if Vegeta is too powerful for you? What's gonna happen then, huh?"

"Aw, relax, Bulma! You know me. Even when the odds look grim, I can always turn it around."

"Honestly, Kakarot, you're too relaxed about this sort of thing. I'm depending on you to defeat these Saiyan so I can use them for universal domination. I have a lot riding on this! If you fail, you're dead!"

"I won't fail, Bulma! Besides, what's the point of being afraid? If I don't believe I'm going to win, then how am I gonna?"

She crossed her arms stubbornly. "Whatever! Just train hard and make sure you beat those morons when they come."

"I've got an entire year to prepare, Bulma. How can I not win?" Kakarot might have seemed carefree to Bulma, but he was actually very serious about his brawl with Vegeta. Bulma was quite jealous by the way Kakarot dove into his training. He wouldn't stop working with the gravity chamber until he had mastered one hundred times earth's gravity, which was not an easy task. He injured himself quite a few times and needed bed rest. He cursed himself for killing Korin. Senzu beans would have come in handy. But every time he felt remotely better, he got back to training once again. He had plenty of time to train left over, but he still worked for the full year.

Bulma was proud of her lover and was anxious for Vegeta to arrive. She had no doubt that Kakarot would be able to defeat Vegeta. Even Raditz had improved vastly thanks to her. He wasn't as excited to fight his former comrades as his brother, but he did want to show them that he was no longer the weakling in the group.

Raditz was thankful to Bulma. He didn't worship her. He would have liked to sleep with her, but he respected that she was his brother's girl. He did respect her as a wise and powerful ruler and he knew that with her help, he could turn the tables on the creature who stripped him of his home world.

He admired Bulma from afar while she was reading a romance novel on a swing. Raditz wanted her to stay indoors at the park inside of Capsule Corporation, but Bulma insisted that they go to a real park. Raditz realized that Bulma wanted the adoration from the children and their adult supervision and once she had it, she ordered them to leave so she could be by herself with her thoughts. Raditz didn't understand why such a powerful and influential being turned to such childish things for entertainment, but he was not going to question her.

"Raditz," she said, "come join me."

He did as he was told and stood in front of her, but he was not going to sit in the swing. That was much too childish. "Yes, Bulma?"

"My satellites have detected that your Saiyan comrades will arrive within the hour."

He felt a pang of nervousness. "Really?" Raditz didn't know how the battle would go. He had a lot of loyalty to Prince Vegeta. They had spilled too much blood together to completely disregard his comrades, but he knew that Kakarot and Bulma were his only true options for vengeance and freedom.

"Kakarot is actually waiting for them right now."

Raditz knew from sparring with his brother that the fight could easily get out of hand. "I should be there too!"

"Raditz..." She jumped to her feet and placed her hand on his chest. "I need to make sure your head is in the right place. I don't want Kakarot fighting three Saiyans."

"Kakarot wouldn't have to fight at all if you let me talk to Prince Vegeta." Raditz wasn't sure if Prince Vegeta would take him seriously, but it was worth a shot. "I can convince him that working with you is the best way to destroy Frieza. Once he sees how powerful I am, he'll want that power for himself."

"I know, Raditz. You Saiyans love your power. That's why I admire you all so much. However, I don't like to leave things up to chance."

Raditz didn't know if there was anything else he could say. "We're the last of our race. If Kakarot is able to kill Prince Vegeta, I request that Kakarot doesn't and spares his life."

"I don't want Vegeta dead. I want him on my side." Bulma smiled. "Don't worry about anything, Raditz. Everything is going to work out perfectly."

Kakarot was supposed to be waiting for the Saiyans to arrive, but he was starving! He knew East City had great hotdogs and everything was free for him, so he found his favorite place to eat and started stuffing his face. He let the humans serve him and he was a good guest. He didn't even kill one person. He was in such a great mood. Any moment, the Saiyns would be arriving and he would be able to test out his new abilities. Why wouldn't he be cheerful?

"Bring more!" he demanded.

Just as Kakarot was reaching for another wonderful hotdog, everything around him began to disintegrate and turn to ash. Once he noticed that his favorite hotdog joint on the entire planet as well as East City was gone, he became pissed. "That was so uncalled for!" Kakarot should have been paying attention instead of stuffing his face, but he sure didn't think Vegeta and his idiot comrade was going to just start blowing up stuff!

"You must be Kakarot," Vegeta said. "Only a Saiyan could have survived that blast."

Kakarot turned around and saw a very large bald man and a very short man standing in the center of the new wasteland. He was expecting something different and frowned. "You two don't look very powerful at all." Then he got mad all over again. "And you destroyed my hotdogs!"

"Hotdogs?" Vegeta asked.

Nappa shrugged. "I don't get this guy."

"Well, I don't wanna dely this." Kakarot began stretching. "I've been waiting an entire year for you two to get here. Hopefully, you won't disappoint me too bad. I think you will, but whatever. I hope you two surprise me. Maybe you'll stand a better chance if you both take me on at once."

Vegeta was offended, but he allowed himself to be amused with Kakarot's idiotic behavior. "I knew you must have been a fool, Kakarot. I was going to give you the opportunity to join us, but now I'm going to destroy you."

"Yeah..." Kakarot stroked his chin. "I'm afraid that's not gonna happen."

"Yo, Kakarot!"

Kakarot looked up to the sky and saw his older brother carrying Bulma. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous!"

Raditz agreed with his brother, but Bulma was very clear about her orders. He argued with her a little bit, but she was very persuasive. He quickly gave up and flew her to the landing site of the Saiyans. It was a good thing that he did delay her a little bit with the argument, or else she would have been caught up in the blast.

Raditz sat her gently on her feet and she smiled at him. "Thank you, Raditz."

Vegeta grunted. "You betrayed us for a human?"

"I'm not betraying you," Raditz pleaded. "I just found another way. Bulma can help us defeat Frieza."

"She's a weakling!" Nappa blurted. He hadn't checked her power level, but he was certain. "She could never help us fight Frieza."

"Fight?" Bulma laughed. "I don't fight. Kakarot fights all my battles for me."

Vegeta sneered. "And you're the woman I spoke with on the scouter?"

"I sure am." Bulma fearlessly approached Vegeta. She understood that he could have snapped her in two, but she knew that she had everything under control. "So, you're Prince Vegeta?" She observed him closely. She couldn't say she was impressed. She was hoping he'd be an incredibly tall and handsome prince with a bit of charm to him. It was probably due to all of those romance novels that she filled her head with. She should have known better. Saiyans were barbarians. "I've persuaded Raditz. I've even helped him become stronger. You should consider surrendering and serving under me."

"Serving you?" Vegeta couldn't believe the nerve of her! "You're just a pathetic human. Why should I, the Prince of all Saiyans, debase myself so?"

"Kakarot will defeat you. I just thought I'd give you the chance to save yourself from humiliation."

"Don't do me any favors, Woman."

Kakarot's nostrils flared up and he started to charge Vegeta. "Don't you dare disrespect her–"

"He's fine," Bulma said. "I like his..." She smirked. "Spunk. I'll have to reward such bravery."

"It's foolishness!" Kakarot said. "I'll kill him right now for you." Kakarot was beginning to get excited. "You like to watch me kill."

"I find pain tolerance fascinating," Bulma told Vegeta seductively while pressing her fingers into his chest. "I've tortured a few men myself."

Vegeta was aware that Bulma had disrespected him and that she was a fool for believing that she and Kakarot stood any type of chance against him. He could sense that she was manipulative and perhaps a little mad. Still, he was somehow incredibly turned on by the beautiful woman who had the guts to threaten him. The fact that she liked to kill and torture also sparked his curiosity. Most people would have thought Bulma was a psychopath. Vegeta believed her to be some kind of warrior.

Kakarot noticed the intense look Vegeta was giving to Bulma and he was not comfortable with it at all. "We should fight," he insisted.

"No," Bulma said. She rather enjoyed looking into Vegeta's eyes. There was so much hurt and despair there. Sure, he had caused a majority of that despair, but there was one person in particular that made his life a living hell. "I can help you destroy Frieza. You can get your revenge for what he did to your people and to your daddy. I can make you powerful, Vegeta."

Vegeta didn't know what it was about the blue haired woman that left him so enticed with every word that she spoke. He had traveled around the universe and met thousands of girls. He had been with too many to count, yet Bulma managed to be something new.

"Come on, Vegeta."

He smirked. "You must not have a lot of experience in seduction, Woman. You could be better."

"I don't usually have to put in any effort."

Vegeta looked up at Kakarot, who looked much calmer than Vegeta could tell that he actually was. "Kakarot is pretty easy, huh?"

"All men are when it comes to me." Bulma knew that she could have Vegeta easily enough, even without her means of persuasion. "Following me is the best option."

"And why should I trust you?"

"Because," she giggled, "you don't have a choice."

As attractive as she was, her blatant disrespect for Vegeta's power angered him enough for her to take the platform. "I'm making a choice every second I don't kill you. You owe me everything, Woman. Now, tell me where the dragonballs are."

"Oh..." She pretended to br confused, yet surprised. "No one must have told you, but the dragonballs don't actually work anymore. They've been disabled for years."

"What?" Nappa barked.

Vegeta grunted. "Then why did you mention them?"

"I obviously wanted to lure you here, Silly!"

Vegeta was enraged and reached out to choke Bulma until her head popped off of her shoulders, but Kakarot acted quickly and grabbed her before Vegeta could do anything. Raditz also acted quickly and punched Vegeta in the face hard enough to knock him to the ground. Even though Vegeta was caught off guard, he was still surprised the Raditz was about to hit him so hard and make him bleed. "You fool! You would attack your prince?"

"Bulma can help us defeat Frieza and preserve our race. That's my priority, Vegeta."

"How dare you!" Vegeta rose to his feet. "This woman won't be able to do anything for you once I destroy her."

"Raditz," Kakarot said. "I need you to watch over Bulma while I take care of Vegeta."

"Your arrogance is astounding," Vegeta said.

"So is your's," said Bulma. "I want to make a wager, just to make things more interesting."

"We're just gonna kill you all," Nappa said.

"Quiet, Nappa!" As angry as Vegeta was, he was interested in Bulma's deal. "Tell me what you want, Woman. What are your terms?"

"When Kakarot wins, you and Nappa have to submit yourselves to me."

Vegeta didn't understand how she could be so confident about Kakarot's abilities. 'He's nothing but a low level. He might appear powerful on this pitiful planet, but he'll be nothing compared to me.' "And what happens when I win?"

"I submit myself to you." She smirked. "But I wouldn't hold my breathe, Vegeta."

"I'd rather just kill you," he said.

She laughed. It was time to commence with the fighting. "Go on, Kakarot. Take him out, but don't kill him. Don't screw around a long time. I'm ready to get started soon."

"Aw!" Kakarot whined. "I wanted to give them a little bit of a chance. It's all part of my entertainment!"

"Don't keep me waiting long, Kakarot." Bulma wrapped her arms around Raditz and jumped up into his arms. "We've got an entire universe to conquer."

"Be careful, Brother." Raditz said.

"And you keep Bulma safe." Kakarot actually liked the newfound comradery he had with his brother. Kakarot hadn't realized that there was any sort of void in his life that Bulma couldn't fulfill, but he began to realize that family was something that he wanted. Still, there was something lingering inside of him that was yearning for something more.

Vegeta was sickened with Raditz and Kakarot. It didn't matter if they were brothers. He was their prince. They should not have done anything to disobey him. "Stand down, Nappa. I'm going to destroy this fool myself."

"Oh, come on Vegeta! I can pick this guy apart."

"I'm sure you can, Nappa, but this prey is mine." Vegeta readied himself in a proper fighting stance. He had been a waiting a year to come to earth and use the dragonballs all to find out that it was a ruse to lure him there. Well, he might have fallen for it, but Kakarot and Bulma were going to pay dearly. "Prepare yourself, Kakarot!"

"Wait!" Kakarot threw his hands up in the air as a motion for his opponents to stop. "Don't blink!"

Nappa and Vegeta waited confused for Kakarot to do whatever he was going to do. Vegeta didn't notice Kakarot moving at all, but then Nappa hollered in pain and dropped to his knees screaming. "What are you doing, you fool?"

He could barely speak from the pain surging through his body. He wasn't sure if he could move anymore than the effort it took to cradle himself. "He did something!"

Kakarot began beaming until he broke out in a fight of laughter. "You didn't catch that, Vegeta? Really?"

"What?" Vegeta refused to believe that Kakarot was that fast! 'He's just a low level. This must some kind of trick. How is it possible that year ago, he could barely take on Raditz and now he's the fastest thing I've never seen!' "Tell me, Kakarot, what sort of training have you had?"

"Bulma has lots of toys for me to train with. She's brilliant, probably the greatest mind in the universe."

"I see..." 'Perhaps this earthling woman can do as she says. If she can improve Kakarot so much, then she should be able to help me achieve the Legendary.' "I'll have your woman's toys once I kill you, Kakarot." Vegeta figured Bulma would be crossed if Kakarot was killed, but he knew the look of a man who marked their territory. It would have been impossible to work with Bulma if he was always guarding her and being defensive.

"You won't defeat me," Kakarot said with a vicious look on his face. "And once I defeat you, you'll be nothing but Bulma's puppet." Kakarot didn't like Vegeta, but her certainly wasn't worried. Bulma used everyone and hung them out to dry. She had no need for any companionship besides his own.

"Then lets fight, Kakarot. Do as your master said and let's get to the point."

'That's quite the mistake.' "With pleasure."

Vegeta assumed that he would be ready for Kakarot's attack, but by the time he blinked, he was met with an onslaught of punches that were literally the most painful hits of his entire life. Five seconds went by, and Vegeta was on the ground coughing up his own blood and gasping the word, "How?"

"How?" Kakarot ruthlessly kicked Vegeta in the face. "I already told you that Bulma makes inventions for me. Other than that..." He shrugged. "I guess I could just be better than you."

Vegeta growled angrily. He would not take such a thing lying down! He disappeared and reappeared up in the sky, powering up for his most powerful attack. "Lets see how you like my Galick Gun, Kakarot!" No matter how powerful Kakarot was, Vegeta absolutely refused to lose to such an inferior fighter. He could not be defeated by such common hands and then delivered to some arrogant earth fool who was posing as a god. It was ridiculous and the thought of losing to Kakarot was just maddening. He could not fail!

His energy encompassed his body and swirled around him in a hysterical surge of power. He grinded his teeth while he took aim at his opponent and the only thought that soothed him was the look on Kakarot's face when he ended up in hell. Then in a furious yell, he shouted his attack and thrust forward his hands and his energy toward his foe.

Kakarot smirked and planted his feet firmly into the ground. He knew that Vegeta was throwing enough energy at him to destroy the planet. He had no other option than to deflect his attack. He considered matching Vegeta's beam and then overcoming it with a stronger beam, but that wouldn't have been as much fun. Instead, he raised one arm up into the sky.

Vegeta looked on with a wild and bloodthirsty smile until his blast came to a complete halt and formed into a perfect, gigantic sphere in the hands of his enemy. "What? That's impossible!" He refused to believe it! Kakarot must have been cheating somehow and he chose to continue believing that until his blast was kicked like a ball and started heading right for him.

Vegeta dodged it easily enough, but he was quickly running out of ideas. There was only one move left and it was just unfathomable that one low level solider was making him resort to a transformation used to destroy entire civilizations. "I noticed you don't have a tail, Kakarot!"

"And I've noticed that you're all out of time." Kakarot drew his hands back and began gathering up enough energy for his final attack. "Ka..."

Vegeta acted quickly and threw a bright source of energy up into the sky.

"Me..."

He was hoping that the energy would have enough time to set itself in the sky. It might have been a small ball of light, but it was enough blutz waves for a good transformation. He would be able to destroy Kakarot if he could transform in time.

"Ha..."

Vegeta landed on his feet and watched the light shimmer and light up the entire sky. 'It's ready!'

"Me..."

Vegeta clenched his fists. He had yet to feel the effects of the transformation. He needed more time.

"Ha!"

But he didn't have time. Just as he felt his heart beat, the blast engulfed his entire body and he began to wonder if the bright light was only due to Kakarot's blast or was it his soul beginning to cross over from the other side.

Bulma waited for Kakarot in her special room. She wasn't worried if Kakarot would win. She was concerned that he wouldn't return with two his opponents alive. She knew that Kakarot could get carried away when he was really excited about something. It was hard to believe that there was ever a time when that boy used to be sweet and pure enough to ride the Flying Nimbus and now he was holding the entire planet captive for her. 'It's funny how things change.'

"Bulma!" Kakarot knocked on the door and she opened it up pleased.

"They're alive!" Vegeta's body was still sizzling from Kakarot's blast. Nappa didn't have a scratch on him, but he did have blood all over his mouth, hands, and chest. "Barely."

"Raditz isn't in there, is he?"

"He doesn't know about this room and what I do! It would freak him out. I only trust you, Kakarot."

He smiled. "It pleases me to hear you say that."

"I may not love you, but you're still my best friend."

"Yeah. You're mine too." Kakarot was certain that whatever happened with Vegeta being there wouldn't come between his relationship with Bulma. He was just another puppet. "Which one do you want to do first?"

"Nappa."

"Gotcha!" Kakarot dropped Vegeta and carried Nappa into the room and strapped him up to the device. He woke him up with a smelling salt and enjoyed watching him struggle before closing the door and letting Bulma's brainwashing take affect.

When he walked back out into the hall, he was a little disturbed by the way Bulma was observing the unconscious Prince. She just kept staring. It shouldn't have been threatening, but it really bothered Kakarot. "What are you going to do to him?" He got excited. "Maybe he could think he's a slave...a very grateful and groveling slave that likes to shine my shoes and clean excretions."

Bulma laughed. "As amusing as that sounds, it doesn't work like that. I have to make up a scenario that makes sense to who he was and how he is. A proud prince like that would never become what you're suggesting."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"He'll still be a prince." She smirked. "But even kings have served gods. Sometimes, they're the greatest followers."

Kakarot crossed his arms stubbornly and struggled with whether or not he should speak up. "I have concerns."

"And they're foolish." She wrapped her arms around Kakarot's neck and smiled. "You are my right hand and my fabulous lover. As long as you please me, I will please you. Deal?"

He nodded. "Anything for you, Bulma."

"Now, why don't you and your brother go have a good spar, since Vegeta and Nappa didn't do you any good." She felt bad for Kakarot. He was looking so forward to the battle. "I'll handle these Saiyans and when we're both done, I'll bless you."

He burst full of smiles. "Okay, Bulma. I'd like that a lot."

"Good. Now, be off." She gave Kakarot a good slap in the butt to send him off. She could have worked with him there, but she knew Kakarot wouldn't approve of what she was going to do to Vegeta.

She began to stroke his face. He wasn't very cute, but there was something incredible about his presence that made him attractive. He wasn't as strong as he could be, but she would change that. "I have great plans for you, Prince Vegeta."

Vegeta opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was and he was about to move to get up, but he was in such immense pain. He realized that he was in a bed and wrapped up in bandages. The room smelled pleasant, so he certainly wasn't at any recovering station on one of Frieza's stations. The fact that he wasn't in a rejuvination chamber also tipped him off as well. He did hear the light footsteps of something coming near. "Who's there?"

The door slowly opened and a seemingly harmless and rapturously beautiful blue haired woman came into the room. Vegeta had never seen a girl who looked like her. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine..." He never thought he could be so entranced by a woman's beauty before. He struggled to compose himself, but he began to lose his thoughts when he saw her blue eyes. "Where am I?"

"You crash landed here on planet earth."

"My ship crashing injured me this much?" He laughed at being so embarrassed about it. He was in disbelief. "My comrade–"

"He's alive. He's resting in another room." She slowly eased onto bed to sit with him. "What brings you here?"

Vegeta did recall his mission, but he was wildly intrigued by the stranger who was aiding him. "I'm searching for a fellow member of my race, Kakarot. He was sent here as a child. I'm also searching for a deity named Bulma."

She smiled. "She's the god of this planet and Kakarot is actually her most trusted servant. What do you want her for?"

'That's convenient that Kakarot serves her. Raditz mentioned in his report that Kakarot worked for her, but he didn't stress his importance to her. It's hard to imagine that a low level solider could have so much favor, but it will work to my advantage.' "I heard that she could help me. I'm seeking more power so I can defeat–"

"Frieza?"

Vegeta was amazed. "How do you know about him?"

She laughed. "I know everything about you, Vegeta. I can even give you the power that you seek."

He didn't smile often, but it happened once he had the revelation. "You're Bulma."

"I am." 'This is going to work out perfectly!' "I have a question for you."

"Ask it." Vegeta felt like a fool for responding so quickly. He needed to get control of himself. 'This is ridiculous. She might be a god, but I'm still a prince.'

"If I help you defeat Frieza, I want you to promise me that his empire and all of his resources will be ours."

He cocked his brow. "Ours?"

"Yes." Bulma began to move out of her sweet demeanor and began to ease into the seductress. She placed her hands on each side of him and leaned in close. "I will help you rule and to be the king of this universe as you should be. All I ask is to be the god of the universe."

Vegeta's heart began to race. She was the most gorgeous woman in the universe and she had an incredible sex appeal. On top of all that, he had heard about Kakarot's uncommon strength and he knew that if she could make Kakarot powerful, then she could make him the ruler of everything. "That can be arranged." It was going to be the greatest partnership of all time.

"I'm looking forward to working with you, Vegeta."
