Sorry about the long wait again, I've had a serious case of writers block! Still not really happy with this chapter but I wanted to give you guys something.
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN IT.
Vegeta kissed his wife deeply. It had been so long since he was able to have her in his arms again. He smelled her salty tears and pulled away from her. The glow from the fire place was dancing across her porcelain skin.
"What's the matter?"
"I just can't stop thinking about what he did to me Vegeta, it sickens me to my core. Every time I close my eyes I just keep seeing his face smiling at me, I just want it to stop!"
Bulma was now shaking in Vegeta's arms and she didn't realize that she had reached up to place her hands on his chest. The moment that happened Vegeta saw and felt everything, he had no idea how she was doing this or if she even knew it. He saw flashes of Zarbon smiling at her and giving her gifts, and he could feel the confusion, the heartache, and the suffering. She sank to her knees and curled into a ball at his feet sobbing. The mighty prince had never felt so helpless, he stood there in shock while his beautiful princess was in a ball at his feet.
"Bulma" for the first time in a long time he said her name softly and full of concern. He too fell to his knees and placed a hand on her back, she flinched away from him and began to cry harder. He had to fix this, he had to. Vegeta would NOT let that lizard win this after he was already dead!
"I swear to you that I will find a way to fix this! I will make the pain and visions go away."
With that he stood and walked to their plush red velvet couch and grabbed a fur throw blanket placing it over her prone body. He knew if he tried to lift her from the floor it would make matters worse. Bulma had fallen into her visions and was not in their bedroom, she wasn't lying of the cool marble floor with gold flecks sparking from the fire place, no she was instead in her own mind punishing herself. Prince Vegeta left their room closing the massive double door gently, he needed to find Kakarot's father and fast. Swiftly he made his way through the dark halls of the massive ship, he felt Bardock in the control room and quickly changed his course. Within a matter of seconds he was kicking the door in, no one in the room was surprised they felt his immense power coming.
"Your majesty, how may we help you at this hour?"
"Bardock, we need to speak…..in private"
Not a single soldier hesitated when they heard how serious their prince was, they all left quickly and silently.
"Sire, what can I do for you?"
"I need you to find me a witch, or a sorceress."
"May I ask why?"
"The woman has been….permanently scarred you could say. He new found powers have turned out to be more harmful to her. She can communicate through thoughts, feel what others feel and one touch she can make you see and feel everything she is. I've never seen anything like this. With her race gone we need to find someone to help her, she needs all memory of being held captive by Zarbon and Frieza to be gone, at least just the memory of finding out she was raped. She flinched at my touch Bardock, she is curled in a ball on the floor sobbing uncontrollably as we speak."
The entire speech was made as he was pacing and running his hands through his thick mane completely exasperated. Bardock had never seen his prince in such a state. He knew that something had to be done in order to save the future queen and help his prince get his sanity back. The scientist had heard stories when he was younger of a woman called Baba that could help in such situations. He knew he would have to somehow track her down.
"Sire, I've heard stories of a woman called Baba that is said to be hundreds of years old and has powers beyond anyone else, she is said to reside on a planet that is located on the outskirts of the western quadrant. I can send a search team for you right away."
"Yes, get it done, I want her brought back to Vegetasi as soon as possible. Find out everything you can about her and her mystical powers."
"Right away sire. Would you like for us to sedate the princess, it could help against the visions."
Vegeta let out a deep sigh and ran his hands down his face and locked eyes with the older man giving him a nod in agreement. He did not like the idea of keeping his princess sedated but if it would help her he had to do it.
"Just be sure you are swift, she is in a volatile state right now and I'm not sure what she could do. I will be in the room when your men do it."
"As you wish sire"
A group of four men including Vegeta followed to his and the princess's chambers. When the opened the door they were greeted with a most unexpected sight. The room was in pieces, their four post bed now in splinters and thrown all over the room, the velvet couch was ripped to shreds and stuffing covered the floors like snow, broken glass was strewn throughout the once spotless room. They skimmed across the room to find the princess in the closet screaming and tearing dresses apart. Vegeta raised a hand to the men that made a move to go get her and he slowly walked to their walk in closet. There was strips of fabric clinging to his clothes, the shelves, the floor and even in his mates hair.
"Bulma, what are you doing?"
When she turned her head to face him he was taken back by what he saw, she had small cuts across her face, chest and arms, her eyes were no longer their sapphire blue but now were almost black they had turned such a dark blue. She was panting and her hair was sticking to her face and neck from the sweat.
"Get out"
"Not a chance woman"
"I SAID GET OUT!"
The princess stood and shot Vegeta in the chest with a blast, it did little to hurt him, switching to his trademark smirk the prince got into a fighting stance.
"You want to throw blows woman? Bring it on, I will not go easy on you"
Bulma let out a growl that he could be proud of and charged at him, she was giving it her all punching, kicking, throwing blasts, all she kept seeing was Zarbon. Vegeta was easily blocking each hit smirking while his men looked on with shocked faces. One took a step forward but was stopped by a firm hand on his shoulder.
"No one will get in the middle of this, our prince knows what he is doing."
After what seemed like hours the princess collapsed to the floor from the exhaustion. She was out cold. Vegeta lifted her into his arms and walked her to the med bay with Bardock, he turned to look over his shoulder to the others.
"Have someone clean this mess"
"Yes sire"
"Bardock, she will not have scars from the cuts will she?"
"I don't believe so no, they are not deep and are clean cuts. Sire why did you let her go out of control?"
"She needed it, you didn't see her face. The look in her eyes screamed violence. She needed that."
"I see, well sedating her now will be much easier."
"Hn"
Vegeta looked down to his sleeping beauty and frowned. He just wanted things to go back to the way they were. He was determined to make things right. When they reached the medical wing he walked into the private wing that was set aside for them. He placed her gently on the bed and kissed her forehead. She began to stir and slightly opened her eyes.
"Vegeta, where am I?"
"In the medical wing, you will be fine, just relax and sleep."
"But, what happened? Why am I here? Why are we on the ship? I don't understand I thought we were home getting ready for our coronation?"
The prince looked to Bardock with worried eyes. His elder did the same in return. Neither had any idea what was going on.
"Woman just sleep"
He gave the nod to Bardock signaling to give her the shot. Before she could even realize what was happening she was falling into a deep slumber.
"Bardock, what could have happened?"
"All that I can think of is that possibly her own mind is blocking everything out. The mind is a very confusing thing sire. I still think we should seek out Baba."
"Yes, get to it. I'm going to train for a while. See that no one disturbs me!"
With that the prince powered up to super Saiyan and left the room. Bardock glanced over to the princess who was not sleeping peacefully and headed to the closet to get some cream to dress her wounds. He hoped his team could track down Baba and save the young woman.
What do you think of that? Again sorry about the late update! Hope you liked it!
