Chapter 3-Super Sayian? Challenge Excepted
"Faster." 18 year old Trunks called to his sister as the robots increased speed. Bella blew some hair out of her face, shoved her staff in the ground, and jumped over the robot. She then turned and knocked off its head causing it to explode. "Alright done for today." She heard over the intercom as the gravity returned to normal. Three hundred times normal gravity was not for weaklings but nowhere close to where she wanted to be. Bella continued to pant heavily and leaned against her weapon. Trunks was at the door waiting for her, "Change into something presentable if Dad finds out you were wearing his old armor he would kill you." She looked down at herself, she was wearing, as Trunks said, her father's old armor which she had washed and used for the past years. She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue as she left the room and went into her own. Taking off her clothes and putting them in their secret box she looked for what to wear. She settled on a pink leather jacket that went down to her stomach. She wore a white v neck under and brown capris with black flat tennis shoes. "Better?" She snickered sarcastically and put her hands up showing off her choice in clothes. He rolled his eyes.
She walked down for dinner when she got a text. What are you up to?-Goten. She smiled as she sent back, Not much you?-Bella. Bulma was at the stove getting dinner ready. She hugged her mother and helped set the table. Vegeta came in next followed by Trunks. "Hello Daddy, and Trunks!" She said sweetly acting like she hadn't seen Trunks all day. She kissed her father's forehead, "How did training go?" He grunted in response getting a glare from Bulma. She set down plate after plate of food, knowing the boys appetite. Bella was always amazed at how much her father and brother ate daily. She set down next to her mother. Bulma smiled and whispered, "Any luck today." She gave a sad sigh and shook her head no. She still had not gotten to Super Sayian like her other friends and family. Bulma smiled, "You could always spar with someone besides Trunks." She winked at Bella who blushed. She had developed a small crush on Goten although he was oblivious. "Like Dad would let me out of the house with him." Bulma shrugged her shoulders, "It doesn't hurt to try." She picked up her plate and put it in the sink letting her daughter think about what she had said. Bella whipped out her phone and sent a text, she could do this right?
Bella grabbed her small purse and went to the front door saying goodbye to her mother. Her hand froze on the doorknob when she heard his voice, "Where are you going?" She had practiced this a million times, "Going with my friends." He crossed his arms, "Where?" She turned to her father, "Just the movies. Mom said I could!" She opened the door and flew fast before he could question her farther. A ding interrupted her flight coming from her phone, I'm at the wasteland behind my house. You can still back out. :p-Goten. She rolled her eyes and sent back, on my way. You can still back out too. :P-Bella. She turned and sped off breaking the speed of sound. After landing behind Goku's house she looked around for Goten. "Man I could already beat you tsk you should know better." She heard behind her making her jump slightly. She rolled her eyes and opened her purse taking out her small boi staff that flipped out longer and armor she had inside there. "Let's do this." She said confidently.
The two teenagers charged at each other ready for a battle. Goten struck first as Bella blocked it with her staff. He shot another punch making Bella jump back. She used her staff to shoot her up over him and get behind him. She kicked as he grabbed her foot and spun it. As she twirled around she clamped her leg on his arm sending them both rolling on the floor. They both laughed on the ground neither getting up. "That wasn't really good practice." Goten said smiling. He got up and held out his hand. She smiled and grabbed it getting off the ground, "Yeah but it was fun to get out of the house and see you." He nodded and turned around completely forgetting that they were still holding hands. "We have some leftover food if you want it." She blushed at him and shook her head, "I already ate thank you though." He nodded and checked his watch, "You got a curfew?" She shook her head again, "No but I should probably get back." He looked a little disappointed but nodded at her, "Should I walk home with you?" She let out a dry laugh, "Do you want to get hurt?" He laughed back at her and shook his head. She hugged him quickly expecting him to push her off. He smiled and hugged her close then reluctantly let her go. They waved goodbye and she flew off home.
She entered through the window she had left open. She practically flung her clothes off changing back into the ones she had left the house with. She put her staff inside with it and shoved it under her bed as the door opened. Vegeta walked in glaring at her, "What happened to the movies?" She shrugged her shoulders, "Didn't like it so I came home." He scowl deepened, "And that's why Kakorat saw you in his backyard?" Her eyes popped open luckily she had her back to her father. "That sounds funny. I was at the movies." She said regaining her composer. He raised an eyebrow, "So whose lying you or Kakorat?" She turned to him her arms crossed, "Well I don't expect my own father to take my word. Because that isn't in his jurisdiction since I'm not of the male species." Then under her breath she muttered, "After all I'm not the mighty Trunks." Her eyes narrowed she left the room anger filling her. Vegeta had heard what she had muttered and he felt something strange. Something he couldn't describe with words. Guilt.
The next morning Vegeta walked into the breakfast room early. He was hoping to catch Bella before she left so he could figure out some more details. Bulma was talking to Trunks when he entered the room and their conversation ended. "Where's Bella?" He asked harshly. Trunks shrugged his shoulders why Bulma ignored him altogether. In reality Bella was in the gravity chamber training a lot harder than Trunks would've allowed her to. He glared at his wife before asking, "Where is my breakfast?" She glared right back, "Where's my please?" He huffed a please so Bulma got up and made him some breakfast while Trunks played with the food on his fork. "What did you do to Bella?" He finally asked his father not looking up. "What do you mean?" He said anger seeping into his voice. Trunks sighed then in a burst of confidence said, "When she left her room she was crying. She stayed in the bathroom for like thirty minutes than she ran into her room and locked the door." Vegeta was taken aback by this. What had he said that was so bad? Was it wrong for him not to believe what Bella had said? He ate his breakfast fast. He left muttering about going training and left. Trunks eyes went wide, which gravity chamber was Bella in? With worried exchanges mother and son ran after Vegeta hoping that she wasn't there.
Bella muttered a choice word under her breath as she punched the neck of the robot tearing through it. "Why doesn't he believe me?! Sure I wasn't at the movies but what! Is it like I would really do something so irresponsible?! The only reason I'm doing this is to impress him! Not that it matters Trunks will still be better." Her ranting was only increasing her anger, the poor robots didn't stand a chance. With the boi staff flying robot parts and explosions were all around her. "Computer turn up the gravity to 450." She screamed and braced for impact. After getting used to the gravity she grabbed her heavy staff and whacked off an android's head. She went for another kill when the gravity increased dramatically. She hit the floor hard probably cracking a rib. Outside Vegeta had set the gravity to a thousand times earth's gravity and Trunks gaped nervously. Bella was too infuriated to give up now. She rose to her feet stumbling twice before she started to float. She yelled loudly causing the three at the other side to turn shocked and worried. Vegeta pounded at the door. It was stuck. All three entered the control panel and watched helplessly.
Bella was still screaming inside now that she was levitating. "ARE YOU PROUD NOW FATHER?!" She yelled as she felt her power increase. Her hair began to turn golden her eyes bright green. She was panting but she could fly around the room now with ease. She seemed to be in great pain as she flew over to the controls turning them off. After the gravity returned to normal she sighed and switched off her super form and collapsed on the ground not used to that much power. When her family burst in with worried expressions all she said was, "I did it. I finally did it." Trunks fumbled with a sack until finally grabbing a senzu bean and giving it to his younger sister. She ate it and sat up slowly looking at them with new found brightness, "Did you see me Trunks? I did it! I finally did it!" She then turned to her father whose eyes were narrowed and full of anger and worry. Her eyes hit the floor as she muttered, "Surprise." Bulma pushed past her husband and grabbed Bella, "I'm so proud of you! I knew you could do it!" Vegeta turned to her and held up a hand as Bella tried to explain, "One question. Why didn't you tell me?" She felt the anger return, "I wanted to get even with Trunks. I wanted to be his equal in your eyes. I thought it you knew you would stop me." Tears began to pick her eyes. "It didn't matter though did it? Trunks is still better isn't he?" Vegeta punched the wall closest to him, "Where did you get that dang idea in your head? Why do you think I like Trunks better than you?" She got up and went to leave before muttering, "I heard you tell Mom that yourself."
