not quiet sure WHAT I'll title it. Oh well. Oh yeah, and the disclaimer. I
don't own DBZ. That's all I have to say for now, so, enjoy the next
chapter.
Chapter1- Plan: Success, A Young Girl Lends Out a Helping Hand
It was a cold winter morning at Capsule Corp., a perfect day to sit in front of a fire and read a book or watch television, but not for Bulma Briefs. She carried a mug filled with hot cocoa to her room where she continued to work on a new project. She slumped into her desk chair sipping the warm drink and quickly glanced over her blue prints for the project. The machine was to sense ki or energy waves but she thought of it as an alarm system to tell weather or not if someone may be trying to break in. Sure, she had a strong friend she had know for six years and could protect her easily. He went by the name Son Goku and had helped her as much as he could on the misadventures they both had. Of course he could be clueless at times about simple things but hey! He was able to defeat all of the foes they had encountered threw the years. Now Goku was a teen, Bulma hadn't seen her good friend in some years and was a bit saddened about that.
Bulma picked up her pencil and added a few more buttons and wire connections to the drawings already displayed. "Ugh. I can't take this any more. I need a break," she mumbled setting the cocoa and pencil down. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, 'Maybe a short rest is all I need,' she thought swinging her feet onto the wooden desk. Then it happened.
"SHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!"
The blue haired genius' eyes shot open. She turned her head to face the window and saw it. It was a space pod soaring threw the atmosphere. She gasped as she saw it disappear in the woods next to her home.
"CCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!"
She jumped out of her seat. "DAMN!" she exclaimed as she rushed out of her room to the front door. Stopping for a brief second to put on a leather coat and boots she ran out of the house and into the snow. She looked to the sky seeing a stream of smoke still rising and headed in that direction to the woods to the crash site.
She had looked around for about thirty minutes now with no sign of the space pod, a.k.a. UFO. She was just about to give up when she saw a few trees that had just recently been knocked down. Cautiously heading in that direction, she found a HUGE crater in the earth. At the bottom laid the pod. She gasped and knew this was it! All of the theories about life in outer space had finally come true. Bulma smirked, 'And I'm going to be the first human to meet one!' she thought looking at the bottom of the pit. She noticed that the pod had already been open; she knew the creature must have already left.
"Hmmm, it seems that the alien race has superior technology than ours." She slid down the hill to reach the pod and looked inside. 'Single seat, control panel, must need to use codes to drive this.' "This doesn't seem too hard to create from scratch," Bulma mumbled as she examined it one more time. Pulling out a capsule she closed the door of the ship, put the capsule to the ship making it disappear. Placing the capsule in her pocket she heard a light gasp. Her eyes shot open and quickly turned around looking out of the crater. She saw no one. 'Odd, I swore I heard someone. Must be the wind,' she concluded. She sighed looking up at the huge crater. She was going to have one hell of a time getting out of this mess.
******
"CCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!"
A saiyan's eyes shot open, 'Dammit. What the hell was that?' he asked himself as he looked out of the window sleepily. All he saw was brown.
He raised a brow, "What the hell?" he muttered as he checked the calculations of the plant. He smirked. He would be able to breathe with out an air tank here. The saiyan opened the door to his pod taking a deep breath.
He smiled, "It smells so fresh, and clean." He noticed the huge crater he was in and levitated off of the ground, he then saw that the land wasn't brown. He looked around gasping, never had he seen a land so beautiful. Some of the trees were a rich green color while others were leafless. However it was all covered in something white. He kneeled down to the ground picking up the white flaky substance. The saiyan examined it as it melted in his palm, it was cold to touch yet so fluffy.
He picked up more of the substance and sniffed it, 'Odorless.' He then tasted it, feeling it melt in his mouth. He gasped again picking up more of the substance placing it in his mouth.
"It tastes like water!" he exclaimed looking at it again wide eyed. Okay. so he never experienced snow before. Heck, Vegeta never knew that frozen water droplets existed in the universe. He hadn't been out to see the different planets in the universe thanks to a certain lizard.
"Hmph," He was so glad to be away from that terrible creature. He stood up as a cold breeze blew. The prince shivered and crossed his arms. Okay, so this wasn't the greatest place to be, it was WAY too cold. As he was about to go back to his space pod he heard rustling in the bushes close by.
'Dammit!' he thought flying behind the closest tree. 'No.I can't be found.I don't want to go back!' Vegeta gritted his teeth as he peaked over the side of the tree.
He was shocked. It wasn't someone from Frieza's army, but a young woman. He gawked at the girl, "Gorgeous." That was the only word he whispered as he saw her walking closer to the crater created by the pod. She slid to the bottom, and he frowned. Vegeta quietly crept back to the site and looked over the edge. He watched her as she examined the pod and even mumbled a few things that he could understand. She then pulled out something small and pressed it against the ship.
The saiyan gasped, 'What the hell? My ship is gone!' The woman turned up. Vegeta quickly but quietly fell to the ground. 'Damn mouth.' he thought creeping and slightly looking over the edge again. The woman had looked down again as if in deep thought. She then tried to climb up the hill, but she was struggling big time. As soon as she would get halfway up, she would slip and slide back down to the bottom. He heard her mutter curses over and over again as she tried to climb out of the slippery dirt hole.
This is when he felt he should make his presence known. The prince crawled to the edge and looked over as she looked down. "Hey!" he exclaimed, "Need a hand?" Her head turned to face him. "Yes! I can't get out! It's too slippery," she replied putting a stray piece of hair behind her ear. He stood up and jumped from the ground he was standing on to the hole his pod made.
******
She took a good look at him. His clothes were so foreign, something that you wouldn't find on this planet AT ALL. It seemed like the vest he wore was some type of fancy armor. And the spandex. She practically drooled as she saw his muscles bulging from it. However, Bulma did notice it was torn in a few places and there was dried blood along the torn fabric. But there was no sign of any wounds. 'It must have taken him a while to get here,' she concluded. She also noticed the flame shape of his hair. It stood up like Goku's. And the face, although he had a scowl plastered on, she knew he probably was a good guy on the inside.
She crossed her arms and raised a brow, "What do you think you're doing? It's too slippery to climb out of!"
"I know." Vegeta wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What the? Let me go!" exclaimed Bulma, but soon realized what he was doing. He levitated out of the hole to the ground. He released her as soon as their feet touched the dirt but Bulma was still too shocked to realize that he let her go.
She turned to face him, "By any chance. Are you the one who came from the pod I in-capsuled?" He cocked his head to the side.
"In-capsuled?" he asked.
"Yes." Bulma pulled out the capsule from her pocket and showed it to him. He stared at it for a second and nodded. She smiled, 'YES! I knew I would meet an alien! A hansom alien, in fact.' Glancing back over at him, she noticed his arms crossed tight over his torso. Bulma thought for a second, then it hit her! Well, literally a pile of snow from a tree branch was swayed in the wind and snow was knocked off hitting her. She wiped it off of her shoulders and head as Vegeta stood there watching her. She looked up swearing that he heard a soft chuckle come from him and she shook her head shoving a hand in her pocket once again pulling out a small capsule. However this one was labeled BL-1. She tossed it to the ground, the capsule creating a popping noise. (AN: I don't know how to explain a capsule being popped open.-_-;;;) As the smoke cleared a soft blue, flannel blanket appeared in the snow. Kneeling down to pick it up, she tossed the folded up blanket to him.
"Here, this should keep you warm." Vegeta caught it and unfolded it, tossing it around his back and around his shoulders trapping in the warmth. Bulma noticed his slight shivering had gone too. She smiled.
"We should head over to my home. The winds are picking up. I don't want us to get stuck in a blizzard," she explained to the saiyan.
"Where is your 'home'?" he asked looking into her light blue eyes. She pointed north. "It's located in that area." Before she knew it, he wrapped his arms around her waist levitating from the ground once again, however this time he flew off into the direction she pointed in. Bulma looked up at him.
"Do you have a home?" she asked, trying to start a conversation.
He shook his head, "No. I don't."
"Would you like to stay at my home? There's plenty of room."
He looked down at her, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay. But if I have to leave I will. It could be at any time."
Was silence for a few seconds before Bulma spoke up again.
"So. Do you like snow?"
"What's snow?" She gasped.
"You. you don't know what snow is?!" she exclaimed. He shook his head.
"It's all of the frozen water droplets you see floating in the sky to the ground and on the trees. Um. Have you never seen or experienced snow before?" she questioned him.
"No. I haven't. You see. I really haven't gotten out much." Bulma stayed quiet. "Woman." Bulma glared up at him.
"My name's Bulma."
"Okay then, 'Bulma', what's a blizzard?" he asked her being able to see the Capsule Corp building above numerous amounts of trees.
"Well, it's when the winds pick up and the snow falls faster."
A huge gust of wind came, almost blowing the two away from the building, "Cause I think were in one." Bulma pointed to the building.
"Down there! That's my home! We could hide out there till better weather," she explained as another gust of wind came. As fast as he could go, he flew to the entrance of the building and set the woman down. She quickly ran to the door pushing in a quick code on the buttons making the door slide open.
"Come on! Quickly!" she exclaimed rushing in the building. Vegeta was hesitant for a second but quickly walked in. The door closed the entry as soon as he entered, he gritted his teeth. He didn't like the way the door closed, sounds strange, right? But you must remember that his room back on the spaceship had a door exactly like that. The door blocked his only exit and kept him from the freedom he should have had. He looked down. 'The memories. I had just escaped the dark lord. but.'
"Vegeta!" He looked up, his thoughts forgotten glancing at the girl.
She smiled, "Would you like something warm to drink?" She pulled off her coat and boots.
Vegeta caught himself almost gawking at her again, 'Damn.' He saw Bulma wearing a light blue v-neck shirt. It matched her hair and also showed a bit of cleavage, if I may add. "Vegeta?"
He looked up, "Yes. Yes, a beverage of some sort would be nice." His cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she turned around. He took the blanket off and set it on the floor by her shoes, then went up to Bulma.
As he followed her to the kitchen he glanced at all of his surroundings. He saw expensive works of art hanging on the wall. He saw the furniture; it was totally different from what he was used to. The furniture wasn't made from chrome; it was made from colorful fabrics he didn't even know existed. He also noticed the family picture of the woman and her parents. Parents. Vegeta looked down at his feet as he continued to walk. He never knew his mother, and his father. Frieza took him away from his father at such a young age. He clinched his fist glancing at the photo again. They were all smiling, his face softened.
'Is this really how a family is suppose to be like?' he thought quietly. 'Hmph, saiyans never smile. It's just weak emotions being shown! But.they seem so. happy.' He shook his head continuing to follow the woman as she went threw another door.
They both reached a spacious kitchen. He looked around the room being as curious as a cat. He had not seen a kitchen like this before, well maybe he had but he was too young to remember. He turned back to Bulma as she walked to the pantry.
"You can take a seat if you want," explained the woman as she searched around for the cocoa packages. Vegeta noticed the wide oak table in the corner by a window, seating himself on one of the chairs.
"So. You live on a different planet?" asked Bulma closing the door to pantry and coming out with two small packages of hot chocolate.
He nodded, "Yes, you could say that."
"Why are you here?" Okay, so these were stupid questions that Vegeta didn't want to answer however, he knew he could have some fun.
Smirking, he answered, "I have come to destroy all of the living natives on this planet."
At that time she had pulled down two light blue mugs from the cabinet. She gasped quickly turning to his smirking face. "What the.? You're lying! You could never kill all of the people on this planet by your self!"
Vegeta's smirk deepened, "Oh but I could. You see, my race, the saiyans are the strongest warrior race in the whole universe. A single warrior could kill millions with his power alone." Bulma gasped. "You see, if a warrior actually has a challenge on the planet he will get stronger once he defeats 'em. It's that simple, you're people have no chance to defeat me cause I AM the strongest warrior from that race," explained Vegeta now leaning back in his seat with his arms crossed against his torso.
"You. you wouldn't kill me would you?" asked Bulma, now turned from what she was doing and backing towards the door frightened as could be.
The saiyan stood up and walked to her slowly, "You really want to know?" Her eyes were wide open with fear as he backed her to a corner. She nodded slowly. He smirked, "I think I will spare your life, and you know what else?" Making a small sigh she looked up at him still with her fear at its peak, "I'm just playing with you." He chuckled as he walked back over to his seat.
"Why you!" she exclaimed feeling very stupid at the moment. Bulma walked back over to the stove, warming up a pot of water.
"I'm actually here in search for someone from my race. I've escaped from a military force I was enforced to go be in at a very young age." He looked up at her, "You see. I wasn't lying about my race being the most powerful race in the universe, but you won't have to worry about them." His eyes darkened a bit.
"Why is that?" asked Bulma now taking the pot off of the stove and pouring it into the cups.
"Because. because the race was killed off by a meteor striking the planet." Bulma gasped yet again. "You see. Only three known saiyans survived because we were in different areas at the time, but we were forced to be in Frieza's army since we had no where else to go."
Silence. there was silence for a few minutes before he spoke up again, "But the real reason I'm here is I believe there is one more saiyan, alive. and he may be on this planet."
Bulma raised a brow, "Um. why was he sent here in the first place?" she asked tearing open the packages and mixing the cocoa in the cups till it made a rich creamy chocolate liquid.
"His father was able to see the future, he was saved from death."
"That must have been hard to send your son off and probably never seen him again."
"Pfft. You try being the one who gets sent off." snapped Vegeta.
"I'm sorry, but. maybe I can help you search for him. What does he look like?"
"I don't know. I've never seen the third-class baka." he replied.
"Okay then. what are some qualities that a saiyan has that may be different?" Bulma asked as she threw away the empty packages away and put the spoon in the dishwasher.
"A saiyan is always looking for a challenge. they are strong, even as young children. Their hair stays in the same style even if it gets cut."
"Is there anything else?" she asked grabbing the two cups from the counter and to the table.
He thought for a minute then slapped his forehead, "Damn. I'm getting stupider by the minute. Every saiyan is born with a tail."
On her walk over to the table, she froze, "A. a TAIL?!" she exclaimed. He nodded.
"Yes, and with looking up at a full moon, he will be able to turn into an oozaru where his power will be at his or her peak."
"Ooo.oozaru? . What is that?"
"Hmmm. It looks like an enormous monster. That's what I've heard the creatures on Frieza's space ship call them."
"Eh heh heh. a huge monster." Bulma mumbled before fainting and falling to the floor. The cups in her hands were released, shattering to the floor. Bulma, however, was caught by the saiyan before she hit the tile.
He shook his head, 'Maybe she HAD seen one.' he thought looking over at her. He looked at the cups that held the chocolate liquid, which had now lain on the floor. He sighed and walked carrying her to a different part of the kitchen. He laid her on her stomach and grabbed her ankles, pulling them up to bring the blood flow back to her brain.
Immediately she woke up, "Whoa. what?"
"You just fainted," he explained helping her up to her feet.
"Um, what were we talking about?" she asked looking up at him.
"Oozaru. did you see one?" he asked helping her to a chair. Sitting on a chair she nodded, "Yes, I believe I did. Almost got killed by it too." She turned to face him once again. "I think the description you gave me fits my best friend Goku."
"Gokoo?" Vegeta asked raising a brow.
"No, Goku. I met him a few years back, he helped me on a quest to find the dragonballs."
"Dragonballs?"
"Yes, they are orange balls located all over the planet. You collect all seven you can make a wish and it could be granted." Vegeta cocked his head to the side. "I'll explain more in depth after I clean this mess I made." she explained looking at the hot chocolate which was spreading across the floor. "I'll make some more. it'll just take a minute." she trailed off immediately starting to clean the mess. In the mean time, Vegeta had zoned out.
****** The prince had been called to see Lord Frieza and was currently on his way. He scowled at some of the other alien warriors on the ship he passed. They all, believe it or not, made his life a living hell. He still had remembered the plan he had made when he first arrived on the ship. He succeeded in the first pat, to become stronger and a great warrior, but he still needed to complete the second half of the plan, to escape. He knew that as the years passing, the technology had advanced greatly and it could be a disadvantage for him getting away. He knew he could easily get caught stealing a ship, which would totally mess up his plan to escape.
'Ugh. I hate this. Why does my life have to be so hard? I so need a break.'he thought reaching the doors to Frieza's quarters. Vegeta took a deep breath and pressed a code to open the door. As it slid open the prince walked in to find the dark lord facing the opposite direction glancing up at the stars.
"You called?" asked Vegeta with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
The lizard turned to face the prince with a frown on his face, "Now, now Vegeta. That's no way to speak to your master."
Vegeta's scowl deepened. "What do you want?" asked the prince in an almost ordering tone. Frieza glared up at the prince and pulled out the whip he had tied to his side.
"You NEVER use that tone you filthy good for nothing ape!" exclaimed the creature as he cracked the whip on the princes' torso.
Vegeta closed his eyes. The pain he was suppose to feel wasn't there any more, he had become immune to the whippings he would get every once in a while. Vegeta stood as still as a statue, he showed no sign of pain making Frieza growl. However a thought crossed the creature's mind. He knew what would make the prince cry out and would make him fall to his knees in pain. He pulled his whip back and smirked as he saw the patch of fur circling the princes' waist, his tail. Still smirking the lizard whipped the fur as hard as he could, making the prince scream in agony. The tail released his waist twitching from the sudden shock of pain it felt. Frieza threw the whip end at the tail again, this time it wrapped around the tail very tightly. Vegeta's eyes widened and he clinched his teeth and fist very, very tightly.
"Does it hurt Vegeta?" asked Frieza smoothly and with amusement in his voice. The saiyan fell to the floor screaming; showing Frieza what he hated the most. He showed his weakness.
"Well, then." The dark lord pulled out a sharp knife, "Let me take the pain away." he said swinging his knife threw Vegeta's tail. The tail now wriggled on the floor, blood spurting out making Vegeta scream as loud as he could sweat falling from his face. Then his eyes went blank and the lizard started to laugh evilly. Vegeta slowly turned his head to look at the creature in a laughing fit. The prince snarled. He had enough of the torture he had received for the past ten years. Although his legs were going numb from the loss of his tail, he turned and dashed as quickly as he could out of the room. This was the day he was going to make part two of his plan go into action. He ran to the deck where all of the ships and pods lay. Not wanting to be noticed by anyone else he sneaked around a few large ships to the small space pods. He jumped into one of the pods typing in his destination, Earth. How did he know to get there? He asked one of the saiyan survivors, Raditz who was also the brother of the saiyan who was taken to a different planet. He knew he HAD to join forces with the saiyan who lived there.
Starting up the ship he noticed Frieza running to the deck looking around for the saiyan screaming threats to the prince. As Frieza noticed him and Vegeta turned his head pressing the button that would send him off at the speed of light to his destination, Earth.
******
"Vegeta? . VEGETA!" Bulma screeched waking the prince from his trance.
"Wha? Did I miss something?" he asked looking up at her, back in reality.
She giggled, "I made you some more cocoa. I apologize for dropping the cocoa earlier."
"I should have expected it from a weakling race like yours," he replied sipping the warm drink.
Bulma placed her arms on her hips, "How dare you insult me and my race like this! You're so mean!"
"I know" he smirked. This game of ticking Bulma off was fun to him, he enjoyed every second of it."
"Why I never!" she exclaimed.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNGG!!!!!!!"
Bulma turned to face the door, "Um. I'll be right back." She ran out of the room as Vegeta sipped more of his warm cocoa. Never had he tasted something so delicious. Bulma came back threw the door with a young teen walking in behind her.
"Vegeta, I want you to meet someone." She turned to the boy with black spiky hair, "This is Son Goku. I have known him for like ever!"
Goku tuned to the saiyan and grinned, "Hi there!" Vegeta glanced at Bulma looking a bit worried as she just smirked. As the two made their way to the table they both sat down and Bulma started the conversation, once again.
"So, how are things going?"
Goku looked down, "Well. you see. a few days ago I had fought this assassin at night as it attacked on of the villages. Witness's say that a huge monster destroyed killed the assassin and some of the village, however no one from the village was killed. I don't understand it."
She looked at him, "A. a monster? Was there a full moon?"
He nodded, "I don't remember a thing all. I didn't see any monster at all."
"Oh please." replied Vegeta crossing his arms an eyeing Goku as if he truly was an idiot.
"Bulma, remember when I saw kami-sama? And he said that the monster wouldn't show up if he could help remove my extra limb?" She nodded.
"Well." He unraveled a brown patch of fur from his waist making Bulma gasp, "It grew back Bulma. my tail. it grew back."
******

Chapter1- Plan: Success, A Young Girl Lends Out a Helping Hand
It was a cold winter morning at Capsule Corp., a perfect day to sit in front of a fire and read a book or watch television, but not for Bulma Briefs.

"What the? Let me go!" exclaimed Bulma, but soon realized what he was doing. He levitated out of the hole to the ground. He released her as soon as their feet touched the dirt but Bulma was still too shocked to realize that he let her go.
She turned to face him, "By any chance. Are you the one who came from the pod I in-capsuled?" He cocked his head to the side.
"In-capsuled?" he asked.
"Yes." Bulma pulled out the capsule from her pocket and showed it to him. He stared at it for a second and nodded. She smiled, 'YES! I knew I would meet an alien! A hansom alien, in fact.' Glancing back over at him, she noticed his arms crossed tight over his torso. Bulma thought for a second, then it hit her! Well, literally a pile of snow from a tree branch was swayed in the wind and snow was knocked off hitting her. She wiped it off of her shoulders and head as Vegeta stood there watching her. She looked up swearing that he heard a soft chuckle come from him and she shook her head shoving a hand in her pocket once again pulling out a small capsule. However this one was labeled BL-1. She tossed it to the ground, the capsule creating a popping noise. (AN: I don't know how to explain a capsule being popped open.-_-;;;) As the smoke cleared a soft blue, flannel blanket appeared in the snow. Kneeling down to pick it up, she tossed the folded up blanket to him.
"Here, this should keep you warm." Vegeta caught it and unfolded it, tossing it around his back and around his shoulders trapping in the warmth. Bulma noticed his slight shivering had gone too. She smiled.
"We should head over to my home. The winds are picking up. I don't want us to get stuck in a blizzard," she explained to the saiyan.
"Where is your 'home'?" he asked looking into her light blue eyes. She pointed north. "It's located in that area." Before she knew it, he wrapped his arms around her waist levitating from the ground once again, however this time he flew off into the direction she pointed in. Bulma looked up at him.
"Do you have a home?" she asked, trying to start a conversation.
He shook his head, "No. I don't."
"Would you like to stay at my home? There's plenty of room."
He looked down at her, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay. But if I have to leave I will. It could be at any time."
Was silence for a few seconds before Bulma spoke up again.
"So. Do you like snow?"
"What's snow?" She gasped.
"You. you don't know what snow is?!" she exclaimed. He shook his head.
"It's all of the frozen water droplets you see floating in the sky to the ground and on the trees. Um. Have you never seen or experienced snow before?" she questioned him.
"No. I haven't. You see. I really haven't gotten out much." Bulma stayed quiet. "Woman." Bulma glared up at him.
"My name's Bulma."
"Okay then, 'Bulma', what's a blizzard?" he asked her being able to see the Capsule Corp building above numerous amounts of trees.
"Well, it's when the winds pick up and the snow falls faster."
A huge gust of wind came, almost blowing the two away from the building, "Cause I think were in one." Bulma pointed to the building.
"Down there! That's my home! We could hide out there till better weather," she explained as another gust of wind came. As fast as he could go, he flew to the entrance of the building and set the woman down. She quickly ran to the door pushing in a quick code on the buttons making the door slide open.
"Come on! Quickly!" she exclaimed rushing in the building. Vegeta was hesitant for a second but quickly walked in. The door closed the entry as soon as he entered, he gritted his teeth. He didn't like the way the door closed, sounds strange, right? But you must remember that his room back on the spaceship had a door exactly like that. The door blocked his only exit and kept him from the freedom he should have had. He looked down. 'The memories. I had just escaped the dark lord. but.'
"Vegeta!" He looked up, his thoughts forgotten glancing at the girl.
She smiled, "Would you like something warm to drink?" She pulled off her coat and boots.
Vegeta caught himself almost gawking at her again, 'Damn.' He saw Bulma wearing a light blue v-neck shirt. It matched her hair and also showed a bit of cleavage, if I may add. "Vegeta?"
He looked up, "Yes. Yes, a beverage of some sort would be nice." His cheeks turned a light shade of pink as she turned around. He took the blanket off and set it on the floor by her shoes, then went up to Bulma.
As he followed her to the kitchen he glanced at all of his surroundings. He saw expensive works of art hanging on the wall. He saw the furniture; it was totally different from what he was used to. The furniture wasn't made from chrome; it was made from colorful fabrics he didn't even know existed. He also noticed the family picture of the woman and her parents. Parents. Vegeta looked down at his feet as he continued to walk. He never knew his mother, and his father. Frieza took him away from his father at such a young age. He clinched his fist glancing at the photo again. They were all smiling, his face softened.
'Is this really how a family is suppose to be like?' he thought quietly. 'Hmph, saiyans never smile. It's just weak emotions being shown! But.they seem so. happy.' He shook his head continuing to follow the woman as she went threw another door.
They both reached a spacious kitchen. He looked around the room being as curious as a cat. He had not seen a kitchen like this before, well maybe he had but he was too young to remember. He turned back to Bulma as she walked to the pantry.
"You can take a seat if you want," explained the woman as she searched around for the cocoa packages. Vegeta noticed the wide oak table in the corner by a window, seating himself on one of the chairs.
"So. You live on a different planet?" asked Bulma closing the door to pantry and coming out with two small packages of hot chocolate.
He nodded, "Yes, you could say that."
"Why are you here?" Okay, so these were stupid questions that Vegeta didn't want to answer however, he knew he could have some fun.
Smirking, he answered, "I have come to destroy all of the living natives on this planet."
At that time she had pulled down two light blue mugs from the cabinet. She gasped quickly turning to his smirking face. "What the.? You're lying! You could never kill all of the people on this planet by your self!"
Vegeta's smirk deepened, "Oh but I could. You see, my race, the saiyans are the strongest warrior race in the whole universe. A single warrior could kill millions with his power alone." Bulma gasped. "You see, if a warrior actually has a challenge on the planet he will get stronger once he defeats 'em. It's that simple, you're people have no chance to defeat me cause I AM the strongest warrior from that race," explained Vegeta now leaning back in his seat with his arms crossed against his torso.
"You. you wouldn't kill me would you?" asked Bulma, now turned from what she was doing and backing towards the door frightened as could be.
The saiyan stood up and walked to her slowly, "You really want to know?" Her eyes were wide open with fear as he backed her to a corner. She nodded slowly. He smirked, "I think I will spare your life, and you know what else?" Making a small sigh she looked up at him still with her fear at its peak, "I'm just playing with you." He chuckled as he walked back over to his seat.
"Why you!" she exclaimed feeling very stupid at the moment. Bulma walked back over to the stove, warming up a pot of water.
"I'm actually here in search for someone from my race. I've escaped from a military force I was enforced to go be in at a very young age." He looked up at her, "You see. I wasn't lying about my race being the most powerful race in the universe, but you won't have to worry about them." His eyes darkened a bit.
"Why is that?" asked Bulma now taking the pot off of the stove and pouring it into the cups.
"Because. because the race was killed off by a meteor striking the planet." Bulma gasped yet again. "You see. Only three known saiyans survived because we were in different areas at the time, but we were forced to be in Frieza's army since we had no where else to go."
Silence. there was silence for a few minutes before he spoke up again, "But the real reason I'm here is I believe there is one more saiyan, alive. and he may be on this planet."
Bulma raised a brow, "Um. why was he sent here in the first place?" she asked tearing open the packages and mixing the cocoa in the cups till it made a rich creamy chocolate liquid.
"His father was able to see the future, he was saved from death."
"That must have been hard to send your son off and probably never seen him again."
"Pfft. You try being the one who gets sent off." snapped Vegeta.
"I'm sorry, but. maybe I can help you search for him. What does he look like?"
"I don't know. I've never seen the third-class baka." he replied.
"Okay then. what are some qualities that a saiyan has that may be different?" Bulma asked as she threw away the empty packages away and put the spoon in the dishwasher.
"A saiyan is always looking for a challenge. they are strong, even as young children. Their hair stays in the same style even if it gets cut."
"Is there anything else?" she asked grabbing the two cups from the counter and to the table.
He thought for a minute then slapped his forehead, "Damn. I'm getting stupider by the minute. Every saiyan is born with a tail."
On her walk over to the table, she froze, "A. a TAIL?!" she exclaimed. He nodded.
"Yes, and with looking up at a full moon, he will be able to turn into an oozaru where his power will be at his or her peak."
"Ooo.oozaru? . What is that?"
"Hmmm. It looks like an enormous monster. That's what I've heard the creatures on Frieza's space ship call them."
"Eh heh heh. a huge monster." Bulma mumbled before fainting and falling to the floor. The cups in her hands were released, shattering to the floor. Bulma, however, was caught by the saiyan before she hit the tile.
He shook his head, 'Maybe she HAD seen one.' he thought looking over at her. He looked at the cups that held the chocolate liquid, which had now lain on the floor. He sighed and walked carrying her to a different part of the kitchen. He laid her on her stomach and grabbed her ankles, pulling them up to bring the blood flow back to her brain.
Immediately she woke up, "Whoa. what?"
"You just fainted," he explained helping her up to her feet.
"Um, what were we talking about?" she asked looking up at him.
"Oozaru. did you see one?" he asked helping her to a chair. Sitting on a chair she nodded, "Yes, I believe I did. Almost got killed by it too." She turned to face him once again. "I think the description you gave me fits my best friend Goku."
"Gokoo?" Vegeta asked raising a brow.
"No, Goku. I met him a few years back, he helped me on a quest to find the dragonballs."
"Dragonballs?"
"Yes, they are orange balls located all over the planet. You collect all seven you can make a wish and it could be granted." Vegeta cocked his head to the side. "I'll explain more in depth after I clean this mess I made." she explained looking at the hot chocolate which was spreading across the floor. "I'll make some more. it'll just take a minute." she trailed off immediately starting to clean the mess. In the mean time, Vegeta had zoned out.
****** The prince had been called to see Lord Frieza and was currently on his way. He scowled at some of the other alien warriors on the ship he passed. They all, believe it or not, made his life a living hell. He still had remembered the plan he had made when he first arrived on the ship. He succeeded in the first pat, to become stronger and a great warrior, but he still needed to complete the second half of the plan, to escape. He knew that as the years passing, the technology had advanced greatly and it could be a disadvantage for him getting away. He knew he could easily get caught stealing a ship, which would totally mess up his plan to escape.
'Ugh. I hate this. Why does my life have to be so hard? I so need a break.'he thought reaching the doors to Frieza's quarters. Vegeta took a deep breath and pressed a code to open the door. As it slid open the prince walked in to find the dark lord facing the opposite direction glancing up at the stars.
"You called?" asked Vegeta with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
The lizard turned to face the prince with a frown on his face, "Now, now Vegeta. That's no way to speak to your master."
Vegeta's scowl deepened. "What do you want?" asked the prince in an almost ordering tone. Frieza glared up at the prince and pulled out the whip he had tied to his side.
"You NEVER use that tone you filthy good for nothing ape!" exclaimed the creature as he cracked the whip on the princes' torso.
Vegeta closed his eyes. The pain he was suppose to feel wasn't there any more, he had become immune to the whippings he would get every once in a while. Vegeta stood as still as a statue, he showed no sign of pain making Frieza growl. However a thought crossed the creature's mind. He knew what would make the prince cry out and would make him fall to his knees in pain. He pulled his whip back and smirked as he saw the patch of fur circling the princes' waist, his tail. Still smirking the lizard whipped the fur as hard as he could, making the prince scream in agony. The tail released his waist twitching from the sudden shock of pain it felt. Frieza threw the whip end at the tail again, this time it wrapped around the tail very tightly. Vegeta's eyes widened and he clinched his teeth and fist very, very tightly.
"Does it hurt Vegeta?" asked Frieza smoothly and with amusement in his voice. The saiyan fell to the floor screaming; showing Frieza what he hated the most. He showed his weakness.
"Well, then." The dark lord pulled out a sharp knife, "Let me take the pain away." he said swinging his knife threw Vegeta's tail. The tail now wriggled on the floor, blood spurting out making Vegeta scream as loud as he could sweat falling from his face. Then his eyes went blank and the lizard started to laugh evilly. Vegeta slowly turned his head to look at the creature in a laughing fit. The prince snarled. He had enough of the torture he had received for the past ten years. Although his legs were going numb from the loss of his tail, he turned and dashed as quickly as he could out of the room. This was the day he was going to make part two of his plan go into action. He ran to the deck where all of the ships and pods lay. Not wanting to be noticed by anyone else he sneaked around a few large ships to the small space pods. He jumped into one of the pods typing in his destination, Earth. How did he know to get there? He asked one of the saiyan survivors, Raditz who was also the brother of the saiyan who was taken to a different planet. He knew he HAD to join forces with the saiyan who lived there.
Starting up the ship he noticed Frieza running to the deck looking around for the saiyan screaming threats to the prince. As Frieza noticed him and Vegeta turned his head pressing the button that would send him off at the speed of light to his destination, Earth.
******
"Vegeta? . VEGETA!" Bulma screeched waking the prince from his trance.
"Wha? Did I miss something?" he asked looking up at her, back in reality.
She giggled, "I made you some more cocoa. I apologize for dropping the cocoa earlier."
"I should have expected it from a weakling race like yours," he replied sipping the warm drink.
Bulma placed her arms on her hips, "How dare you insult me and my race like this! You're so mean!"
"I know" he smirked. This game of ticking Bulma off was fun to him, he enjoyed every second of it."
"Why I never!" she exclaimed.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNGG!!!!!!!"
Bulma turned to face the door, "Um. I'll be right back." She ran out of the room as Vegeta sipped more of his warm cocoa. Never had he tasted something so delicious. Bulma came back threw the door with a young teen walking in behind her.
"Vegeta, I want you to meet someone." She turned to the boy with black spiky hair, "This is Son Goku. I have known him for like ever!"
Goku tuned to the saiyan and grinned, "Hi there!" Vegeta glanced at Bulma looking a bit worried as she just smirked. As the two made their way to the table they both sat down and Bulma started the conversation, once again.
"So, how are things going?"
Goku looked down, "Well. you see. a few days ago I had fought this assassin at night as it attacked on of the villages. Witness's say that a huge monster destroyed killed the assassin and some of the village, however no one from the village was killed. I don't understand it."
She looked at him, "A. a monster? Was there a full moon?"
He nodded, "I don't remember a thing all. I didn't see any monster at all."
"Oh please." replied Vegeta crossing his arms an eyeing Goku as if he truly was an idiot.
"Bulma, remember when I saw kami-sama? And he said that the monster wouldn't show up if he could help remove my extra limb?" She nodded.
"Well." He unraveled a brown patch of fur from his waist making Bulma gasp, "It grew back Bulma. my tail. it grew back."
