Bulma woke up with the sound of a huge explosion still ringing in her ears. She looked around, seeing if maybe a component in the walls had blown, then ran out of her room, past a now half-awake Goku, then outside.

She looked around, and gasped as she saw a big cloud of smoke that seemed to be over West City…

She ran back into the house, changed out of her pajamas, grabbed the kid, and hopped on the bike, leaving the house all in a span of one and a half minutes.

Goku blinked still sleepy eyes at the back of Bulma's head, "Um, Bulma? What's going on? We haven't had breakfast yet…"

Bulma shook her head, "Who cares about breakfast! Didn't you hear that big explosion? And now there's practically a mushroom cloud above my hometown!"

Goku smiled widely, "A mushroom cloud? That sounds nice!"

Bulma shook her head again, violently, "No, Goku! A mushroom cloud means that something really, really bad is happening! We haven't had anything nuclear activated for a long time, so something is really, really wrong."

Goku frowned softly, "Do you think it has anything to do with that big thing that was after Grandpa?"

Bulma wasn't hysterical enough to not roll her eyes at that, but then thought about it, "I don't know Goku, maybe, I should have called my parents right after we set up the house!"

Bulma kept "What if?"-ing the rest of the ride, with Goku asking the occasional question then they arrived at the wasteland that was once Bulma's city.

Every building was blackened and charred, the streets covered in rubble and littered with craters, and there was bodies everywhere…but not enough to make up the entire population of it.

They rode around, Bulma too much in shock to start freaking out, and Goku strangely quiet. Every bloodied body of men, women, and children made her eyes get bigger and bigger, but she couldn't cry yet. They soon arrived at the Capsule Corps. compound, or what was left of it.

It was just a black building, the paint scorched off, with huge craters everywhere on the ground and the building. Bulma still didn't freak out as she slowly combed over the rubble looking for her parents' bodies. They found a lot of the workers' there, but none of the scientists. After an hour, Bulma, now with blood stained arms up to her elbows, collapsed. Goku, who was still strangely quiet with such destruction everywhere came to sit next to her.

Bulma wrapped her arms around the boy she had met only last year, getting him more covered in the blood of her friends, and didn't wonder why she couldn't cry, her heart seemed to hurt more and more with each beat, but her eyes remained dry. She sat there, not saying anything, before Goku shrugged her off gently and stood up. She looked up at him, not that far, when a strange beam of light hit him square in the back and sent him airborne.

She screamed, the shock of that helping her find her voice again, then turned around to find another beam of light heading towards her…then nothing.

Bulma groaned as she tried to open her eyes. The lids seemed stuck together, but after no small amount of effort, got one, then the other opened, and immediately closed the with a groan, she was laying directly below a really bright light, and she discovered that she had a major pounding headache, but it moved after a moment.

"Esu matak?"

She opened her eyes again, looking to the source of the strange voice, and her groggy eyes widened a bit. The creature hovering over her had a huge, pale green fish like head, and when it turned it, she could see that the back of it's head was elongated with thousands of darker tiny spikes coming out of it.

It turned back towards her and brought a small device of grayish alloy over her face and whispered, or what sounded like a whisper, "Susu esun shash."

She couldn't understand what it said, but it repeated itself over and over, almost a mantra, until she felt the urge to close her eyes, which she did.

A humming noise came from the device above her face, and when it was done, she opened her eyes again, her headache was gone!

She looked up at the thing with big surprised eyes and it seemed to laugh, "Don't worry, child. It was a small procedure that your people didn't seem to take well to. A small translation chip was implanted here," It pointed a long, curved finger, one of three, at what looked like it's temple, "to help you understand the many languages you will be exposed to. Not all races can learn a universal language, the variances in vocal ranges and lingual expression, I'm sure you understand. You're brainwaves seem to be working more efficiently than most others, you might be more useful than they are, you had better pray you are."

Bulma blinked in confusion, she could understand exactly what it had said before now. 'You awake?' and 'Close your eyes'. "What are you, what's going on?"

It shook it's huge head slowly, "You're planet was purged, and you're people enslaved. It was going to be sold on the open market, but it was discovered that you're core wasn't sufficient for the current demand, so it was destroyed a few hours ago. We are now about 15 dutaks away from where you're planet once was."

With that the creature moved away from where she lay, and she sat up slowly, her body still seemed sore from something, and she looked around. She was on one of hundreds of cot-like medical beds with a human, or what looked like a human, each getting the same box treatment. Their 'doctors' were all the fish guys, who from what she could see now all had the huge head, but also didn't walk, but slowly…glided over the ground, leaving a thick line of slime in their wake, with round little machines following them sucking up the slime.

As she looked at the battered bodies of the others, she remembered the beam of light that had struck her in the chest and sent her skidding and rolling for several feet. She had been knocked out for several hours, and by the time she had woken up, everything she had ever known was…gone.

She kept looking around, for some sort of help, even thought she knew deep down that there was nothing she could do, before the doors of the huge medical wing opened and three men walked in.

They looked human, yet not. One was huge, with a big bald head, one was shorter, but still tall with long, looong spiky black hair that fell almost to the ground, and the other was well, short. He was maybe half the height and a third of the width of the really big guy with strange hair that went straight up in the air. Bulma watched with still big eyes as they strode past the many beds towards the very fish guy that had been attending Bulma, who met them halfway.

She couldn't hear what was going on, but from the look on the little guy's face, he seemed to be the head guy, things weren't going to well. She watched them for a moment before giving the one with the really long hair a better look…wait a sec, that's the guy that shot her and Goku!

Before she could find something to throw at his head, luckily, she remembered her little companion. She whipped her head around, glad to have that headache gone, but couldn't find him on any of the beds.

She got off the bed and started screaming his name, but only after the second try she was grabbed by two of the fish doctors and a big needle was injected into her arm before she could start struggling and she was knocked out almost instantly.

Napa snorted as the human was subdued so easily but two of the weakest creatures he knew, "Look at that? What could Frieza see in these weaklings? That one couldn't even fight off a couple of Alups!"

Raditz shrugged, "They're very weak obviously, it only took a few hours to purge the entire planet, and did you think that many would die in the purging alone? I know we didn't expect them to have such a huge population, but more than half died just from the explosions and shock, what use could they possibly have? Actually, I think that one was with my brother when I found him. Does she have blue hair Napa?"

Napa nodded, "Yeah, that's the one you brought on board with that wimp brother of yours. I can't believe we had to come ourselves to get the job done, he really should have had that extra month of prenatal training."

Raditz shrugged, "Couldn't be helped, mother went into labor too soon and lost too much blood. Dad just wanted him gone so sent him off early, remember?"

Vegeta turned and looked at his two personal guards, "Will you two shut up! Who cares about you're weak brother and these pathetic excuses for living beings?!" Vegeta wouldn't say anything to Raditz, but he knew why Bardock really had sent his newborn son off on his own too early, but wanted to leave him with a more realistic view of his father for some reason.

When he turned back to the head physician Raditz shrugged, "He's just mad that Frieza sent Dodoria along with us on this. It's just a simple purging mission, just because it's his first being in charge doesn't mean we need that pink blob looking over our shoulders."

Napa nodded, but looked back at the blue headed human that the Alups were putting back to bed, "I guess, but would you look at her? Quite the looker, you think the other humans are that well put together?"

Napa and Raditz quietly plotted a…search of the rest of the human population for suitable females while Vegeta shuddered in disgust. Raping young girls was not something he would ever enjoy or participate in, and he fully intended to make sure his two companions were swayed to his way of thinking…one way or another…

Well? this is still part of the set-up of the story, but the many people Bulma will meet will make the story very, very interesting ^_^, look out for some of my more…memorable OC's!
