Chapter 3

Welcome To Hell

Bulma looked out the window as the ship descended onto planet Vegeta-sai. Vegeta's red sky shimmered in the sun's rays, Vegeta had little vegetation and the little it had was unbelievably beautiful. In the far distance Bulma could just about see Vegetas light green sea. Her thoughts drifted to her home planet. Vegeta-sai and Traiya where very similar looking planets the only difference being Traiya's temperature was much cooler than Vegeta-sai's but still hot. She missed her planet a lot. Not seeing her family and her people for seven years had affected Bulma. Traiyans where known for staying in packs and being around their own kind; Aside from Chi Chi that was taken away from Bulma. She continued gazing out the circular window when a comforting hand landed on her shoulder.

"It's beautiful. A lot like Traiya." Chi Chi muttered but still keeping her gaze on the red planet below.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same" Bulma turned around and grabbed her armour she placed it over her spandex and tied her flowing hair into a quick pony tail. Her violet armour had the royal crest just above her heart showing her status and the pride she had for her race. Her armour framed tightly around her waist showing her newly forming teenage curves. She wore long black gloves that stopped just below her elbows. Her black boots reached above her knees. Her light blue tailed rapped securely around her waist and her long black cape swung off her back stopping just above the ships hard floor. She gave herself the once over and signalled Chi Chi towards the door. Chi Chi wore light blue armour that also hugged her curves, and black boots identical to Bulma's. She and Bulma almost wore the same except Chi Chi reframed from wearing the gloves and cape. Bulma opened the door to find Zarbon on the other side about to knock.

"Ah Bulma, Lord Frieza called for you" Bulma brushed past Zarbon with little emotion and continued down the hall to the ships control room. Chi Chi followed. They entered the control room and stood side by side glaring at the tyrant.

"Bulma dear, we are leaving now" Freiza sat in his hover chair with Dodoria and Zarbon either side of him he made his way towards the exit of the ship. Bulma and Chi Chi followed behind keeping at least three metres away from them and the lizard. The ships exit door lowered revealing Vegeta-sai. The planet was more beautiful from ground level. Bulma stepped onto the ground and breathed in a huge breath of fresh air. She loved stepping onto planets, anything to get away from the main ship even if it was just to purge. Any saiyan who acknowledged Frieza's presence bowed. Bulma snickered. 'Unbelievable how can a race like the saiyans bow at an Ice-jins feet do they have no pride at all'. On hearing Bulma's snicker Frieza commented.

"Bulma you should take note. These monkeys know who is supreme." Bulma clenched her fists she hated Frieza saying monkeys. Even though he wasn't talking about her race, she knew it was directed at her. Bulma wouldn't let him win. She would never lose her pride. "Well Frieza seems you've fooled another race into thinking you're powerful. How do you do it?" Bulma grinned as Frieza remained silent. He turned round and approached her until he was mere inches away from her face. Bulma stared into his eyes they were filled with anger. She tensed her body as she knew what was coming; she wasn't a stranger to Frieza's beatings. She had all so often been rushed to the medical bay after Frieza had his fun punishing and trying to break her one bone at a time. She could handle it. It was no big deal. She would always remember her first beating.

Flashback

Bulma had been on Frieza's ship for a week or so. She had already begun to lose count of time. The separation from her race had caused Bulma to vigorously throw herself into her training barley stopping to sleep. It was around 9pm the last she checked and she had been training since 6am the previous day and she was exhausted. A abrupt opening of the training room door caused Bulma to stop and face the unexpected visitor.

"Ah my dear, I have hardly seen you since your arrival. Is this where you have been hiding?" It was Frieza and a group of his lackeys.

"Hmph, hiding from what? Your cold blooded ass?" Bulma smirked triumphantly as Frieza's expression quickly went to one of indifference and anger.

"Oh my. You do have quite the attitude don't you monkey? Well I am here to inform you that you will be going on a purge tomorrow morning." Bulma's smirk left her face upon hearing the word purge. Sure she had been on a few purges before; of course she had she was traiyan. But she had no interest in killing. There was absolutely no way she would kill for this bastard.

"Sorry to disappoint you Frieza. But I have better things to do." She began to turn her back and was about to continue training when she felt something hard wrap itself round her neck.

"Well Bulma that is where you are wrong. You live and breathe to serve me now and if I have to use force you can bet to Kami I will." He continued to hold her in the air, slowly choking the life out of her when he heard her mutter something.

"What was that dear?" He smirked.

"Go… to…. Hell." Bulma smirked as the smirk fell from his features and was replaced with pure anger. Without responding Vegeta threw Bulma into the adjacent wall and faced his men.

"You may all leave. I am going to be a while." He turned back to Bulma with an evil smirk on his face and she began to power up and throw herself into battle. Out of pure amusement Frieza made no effect to stop her and just aimlessly dodged all her attacks. Until he got bored and sent a kick to her stomach which would have easily broken ribs. Bulma refusing to allow him the satisfaction of winning pulled herself up and prepared her strongest ki blast. Sending it in his direction she smirked. No one had ever survived this blast. As the smoke cleared an unmarked Frieza stood laughing.

"Pathetic really even your strongest attacks do nothing." He fazed behind her and grabbed her tail. Gripping it tightly he began to slowly break all the bones in her tail. The agony of having her tail man handled was enough to cause Bulma to fall unconscious.

"Pitiful" Frieza mumbled as he released her tail and ordered the guards to put her in a healing chamber.

Flashback over

But to her surprise Frieza calmed down and backed away from her face. He continued to stare at her until he broke the silence.

"Now is not the time. But don't think I will let this slide." With that Frieza turned back around and continued into the palace. Bulma let out a sigh of relief, not loud enough for anyone to hear though. She wasn't afraid of Frieza or of what he would do; she just didn't want to face a beating in front of all these saiyans not to mention Chi Chi. Chi Chi gave her a faint smile as they made their way off the ship.

"Bulma you're too careless do you not care what he does to you?" Chi Chi spoke mentally. Over the five years the only company Chi Chi and Bulma received was from each other, so without even knowing they began to form a bond. They both had the ability to send each other mental images and messages to each other without anyone else aside from them knowing. It came in handy on Frieza's ship. The only race capable to form bonds where the saiyans and traiyans. There were three different types of bonds. The family bond, all traiyans had a bond with their parents and siblings. The comrade bond, this bond can be formed accidently or on purpose this is the bond Chi Chi and Bulma shared. And the mate bond, the mate bond was the strongest bond of all. The mate bond was shared between mates and was created when each party had marked the other.

"No. Not particularly. It only helps me get stronger; you know traiyans get stronger each time they nearly die."

"Bulma what happens if next time you do die?"Chi Chi looked at Bulma with a concerned look, Bulma pretended like she didn't see or care.

"I'll be fine Chi. Don't worry, he wouldn't risk killing his favourite play thing he's not that careless"This conversation was getting sentimental fast so she decided to end it and put a mental wall up so Chi Chi couldn't contact her anymore.

'You better be fine B'

"Bulma you and the other ape can leave the castle but do not leave the capital. I do not need you interrupting this meeting" Frieza spoke before approaching the door. Chi Chi turned to Bulma and shrugged before flying off the palace grounds.

"King Vegeta, Lord Frieza is on his way to the throne room" An elite guard entered the throne room to give King Vegeta the news. King Vegeta turned to his son.

"Vegeta. Let me do the talking, you do not argue. And remember what I do is in the best interest of the saiyan race." Before Vegeta even had a chance to reply the throne room doors swung up and Frieza and his men walked in. Upon seeing Vegeta, Frieza held a huge grin on his face.

"Lord Frieza, good to see you again. What do I owe the pleasure in seeing you this time?" King Vegeta's words sickened Vegeta he hated how his father was with Frieza.

"King Vegeta, a pleasure as always. I am here regarding your son. I have seen his purging record and I am amazed. I wish for him to come back to my ship with me and purge for me." Vegetas face dropped. He would not work for that lizard, he was about to protest but his father beat him to it.

"When will he leave?" Vegeta was shocked with the words that came out of his father's mouth. He didn't even try to argue, he's just going to hand him over like he was nothing. No he was the prince of all saiyans, the legendary he would not be forced to bow down to this cold blooded freak.

"I will not go." Vegeta cut of the convocation. "I do not wish to purge for you. Lizard."

At the remark Frieza chuckled, He sounded just like Bulma. "If you don't come with me you can say goodbye to your little planet and your race. I'll even be kind and allow you to take those guards of yours with you." Frieza smirked; he knew King Vegeta would not allow his planet and race to be wiped out because his son did not want to go. Despite Vegeta being his heir the fate of the planet meant more.

"We leave before nightfall. I hope you've made the right decision by then. I really don't want to waste my energy destroying this pathetic mud ball. With that Frieza and his lackeys exited the throne room.

Vegeta couldn't believe this. Working for the lizard was a fate even he didn't wish upon anyone. His father knew of Frieza's methods of discipline and yet he gave him away without as much as a protest. He knew he was in no position to protest as the fate of his race were on the table. He would go and word for the lizard but he would refuse to be reduced to a mere slave. He was the legendary.

"Ah Vegeta I see you've made the right choice. You've even brought a few more monkeys with you." Vegeta, Kakarot, Nappa and Raditz anger rose at the monkey remark.

"Oh did I hit a nerve. Sorry. Follow me into the ship. Zarbon!"

"Yes my lord" Zarbon was at Frieza's feet before anyone could snap their fingers.

"Take the monkeys except Vegeta to their quarters." Zarbon nodded and lead Raditz, Nappa and Kakarot who weren't too hasty to leave Vegeta alone. Frieza then signalled Vegeta to follow him. He led him into his control room. There on the floor lay a beaten to near death Bulma. Vegeta's eyes shot over her beaten body. His eyes followed every curve until he came to her hair. It was blue. He recognized this hair colour from somewhere.

"Before you is an example of what happens when you defy me." Vegeta merely grunted for Frieza to get to the point. He continued to stare at her, for some reason he felt as though he should help her, he could feel her ki slowly slipping away. It was strange if this were anyone else laying beaten on the floor he wouldn't take a second look but for some reason she sparked his interest. Frieza let out an evil cackle and continued.

"Well you see, Bulma here run her mouth on how I am not powerful." Frieza continued to speak but Vegeta zoned out. Bulma. Where had he heard that name before. His eyes continued down her body, that's when he spotted it, a blue tail. Then something clicked, it was her. Bulma the princess of traiyans. The same princess that he had met all those years ago. How long had she been on Frieza's ship? He had no idea.

"Now Vegeta I hope now you will be smart enough to learn from Bulma's mistake and be wise enough to obey me" Vegeta grunted and rolled his eyes. Frieza smirked he knew it wouldn't be easy to crack Vegeta and that's what made it more enjoyable. He turned his gaze onto Bulma's beaten form and grinned. All of a sudden Bulma moved. She used all her strength to get herself into a seating position. Vegeta watched on he couldn't help but admire the girl's strength. Even after being beaten to near death she managed to pull herself up.

Bulma sat for a moment in the small puddle her blood had formed. With little to no emotion Bulma spoke.

"Frieza. Is this beating over? I wish to go back to my training." Bulma's tone sounded bored. Vegeta was amazed, even after all that had happened to her all she wanted to do was train. He was even more surprised at how she spoke to Frieza. She spoke with little care and no fear.

"Oh Bulma dear this beating's over when I say it's over. And besides what makes you think you have the energy to stand let alone train." Bulma smirked.

"I will heal first. I just want to get away from you before your ugly does something awful like… infect my beautiful looks" Bulma smirked and spat out blood from her mouth. Frieza walked over to her and gave her one last kick in the stomach which knocked Bulma unconscious. "Stupid monkey."

Vegeta was too shocked with the girl's actions and words to speak. He just watched her unconscious form unable to avert his eyes.

"Dodoria come here." Dodoria came rushing into the room with a huge grin on his face as he saw Bulma's beaten body. "So Lord Frieza you finally gave her the beating for her running her mouth earlier." Dodoria hated Bulma. He took great happiness in beating and mocking her.

"Dodoria take her to the healing chambers and hurry along we wouldn't want the royal ape to die on us now would we" Frieza's tone was bored. He had beaten Bulma for over two hours and wanted badly to kill something or someone. "Vegeta you may leave. I'm sure you can find your room." Vegeta huffed and walked out the door.
