Last time.
"Of course dad!" Bulma's murderous mood faded and she quickly scampered out the room, giving her father a quick peck on the cheek before going up the stairs to her room. Tomorrow morning she would wake up as the tech prodigy everybody was so fond of. She would play the role, act the part of the little princess of Capsule Corporation only till the night fell, when she would discard her princess lab coat for a garb of skin tight shadow and a gun.
Chapter 2
Ah yes the Briefs.where to begin? A family of geniuses, visionaries who brought the modern world into a new age of technological advancements. Creators of the capsule, capable of taking any object, no matter what the size and shrinking in down inside a capsule container no bigger than a Nyquil (I know I didn't spell it right) gel cap.
But as I said before, all that is just a cover. Sure the Briefs are geniuses but to them tech stuff is just a hobby. The real work is killing, plain and simple Grandma Apple Pie wholesome killing. Starting with Bulma's great great great grandfather, six generations of assassins, all of them the best of their time. Which is probably the reason Kami stood at the edge of his tower using his superior godlike sight to observe one of the larger offices in the central Capsule Corp building.
The night before, Kami received a vision describing in very intricate detail, the destruction of the universe at the hands of a tyrant warlord/planet retailer named Freeza. Now, also in this vision, there was a flitting image of a blue haired girl who, Kami suspected, played a key role in stopping this apocalypse. Once the vision was thoroughly processed, Kami did a file check on this blue haired girl and found she was none other than Bulma Briefs, heir to Capsule Corp. As Kami looked through Bulma's file he discovered she was the culprit of numerous murders and assassinations. Immediately Kami realized that this girl could stop the destruction by killing this Freeza person before he destroyed the universe, which would happen in half a year's time. Which is why Kami decided to go ahead with his plan to bring the girl here immediately and send her on the nearest space ship to Freeza's home planet.
Kami stepped back from the railing and called for the gardener/caretaker of the lookout. Mr. Popo came running with a watering can in hand.
"You called Kami?" he asked, setting the watering can on the pavement and looking up at the taller man.
Kami nodded. "Mr. Popo, prepare the ship I came here in from Namek for take off. Lode it with any essential supplies you can think of.along with a lot of guns and ammunition and a few bombs and grenades might be good too.yeah.and make sure the laser cannons on the ship are operational will you."
Mr. Popo stared blankly at the guardian of Earth, in a state of mild shock. Grenades? Bombs? What was going on here? "Kami?" the shorter man asked shakily. "May I ask why the ship needs to be supplied with.er.such large amounts of weaponry?"
Kami regarded Mr. Popo a few minutes then realized "Oh you don't know what's happened!" Mr. Popo sweat dropped before asking in a very bold manner what on Earth Kami was talking about. So Kami explained about the detailed apocalyptic vision and the blue haired assassin they would be receiving momentarily to be sent to outer space.
"Oh."
"Yes, now I'll go collect the girl and you ready the ship. There's no time to waste!"
Mr. Popo and Kami ran off in opposite directions, one to a special room in the back where a large ship was hidden, the other ran back towards the railing and jumped off the tower, his body turning into a flash of gold light as he sped towards the Capsule Corp compound.

Bulma leaned back in her chair and lazily picked up the folder that her father had given her the night before. She opened it and started flipping through its contense without much interest. Inside the folder were names and pictures of the heads of several large company owners, most of them in competition with the CC. There were ten people in all, and her father had been very thorough, giving Bulma complete copies of each person's personal and business schedules along with helpful addresses and the amount of security allotted to each victim.
Bulma stopped abruptly at one picture and slowly read through all the information given on him. Dr. Gero.the name sounded familiar. Then Bulma remembered an award ceremony dinner her father forced her to go to hen she was seven years old. Her father was getting an award for the capsule invention. Before her father got his award, another war presented.yes Bulma remembered very clearly.the award was for the creation of an android.
Suddenly a bright flash of light filled the room. Papers were flying everywhere and the light bulb above Bulma's desk flickered out and shattered. Bulma screeched and frantically grabbed for her gun, which was conveniently located in a secret compartment under the top of her desk.
Bulma brought the gun up to find herself face to face with Kami (she knew it was Kami because of his clothes and staff).
"Do not be afraid girl.I am Kami. I need you to come with me now," Kami stated in a calm voice.
"AHHH! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING JUST APPEARING IN MY OFFICE LIKE THIS??????" Kami winced and covered his ears. Why was this girl being so loud?
Suddenly the door to Bulma's office burst open and a very frazzled Dr. Brief ran in. "Bulma what's going on here?" he demanded as he surveyed the mess that was once his daughter's office. Kami straightened up and cleared his throat.
"I am Kami. I wish to speak with your daughter.if she'll stay quiet," he muttered the last part to himself but Bulma heard and narrowed her eyes, but before she could say anything, her father interrupted her.
"And what do you want with my daughter Kami?"
"Well, I don't think it should be discussed here.all I can tell you is that I have a job for her. Something only she can do," Bulma perked up immediately.
"Wow! Something only I can do for the guardian of the Earth! .What is it?"
"I need you to kill someone."
* * *
A few hours later Bulma and her father were standing in the main temple of Kami's lookout. Kami had already explained the contents of his vision to the two humans and Bulma's role in saving the universe.
"Ok.you're telling me that I've been chosen to save the universe by killing this guy Freezer?" Bulma's tone was skeptical.
"Er-it's Freeza.and yes. You have been chosen by fate to kill this warlord and save the universe. Will you do it?" Kami looked the girl strait in the eye. Her blue eyes sparkled at the prospect of killing, but he could tell she had her doubts.
"I guess I'll do it but.if Freeza can destroy the universe, how am I going to even get near him? I mean he's either extremely powerful or he has a lot of powerful friends to protect him."
"I'm getting to that," Kami stepped closer to Bulma. "Yes Freeza is very powerful and is a master of controlling ki, not to mention he's a telepath. So to defeat him you'll need a power boost," without warning, Kami placed a hand on Bulma's head and began to draw out her hidden power. To say Kami was shocked was an understatement. He had no idea a mere girl could have so much power locked up inside of her.
When Kami was done, Bulma stood before him surrounded by the blue-black flames of her aura, which intensified more than one hundred fold. Bulma looked at her hands, turning them over, palm up. Blue fire flickered up from her fingertips.
"Now Bulma, I want you to try something, anything. Use this new power, bend it to your will." Kami stood behind her now, whispering instructions in her ear. Bulma turned back to her hands. She closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Suddenly, her nails started to grow, turning a gray metallic color. When Bulma opened her eyes she found her nails were now an inch long and sharp, the tips formed slender sharp points that sparkled in the dim light of the temple. Bulma ran her thumb along the edge of a nail and pulled it back bloody.
"Cool.I have claws," Bulma was still examining her hands when Kami spoke up.
"See that big pillar over there," Bulma looked over towards the far end of the lookout and nodded. "Destroy it."
"What?" she asked in dismay. How could she destroy a huge marble pillar about 100 feet away? But Kami knew how.
"Use your ki, focus it on the pillar and destroy it, it's not that difficult. Just concentrate," Bulma did as she was told. She focused on the power deep inside her and felt it rising in her chest. Slowly, she held up her arm, palm facing the pillar and let the energy loose through her arm and out her hand. A small silver ball of ki sped strait at the pillar, hitting it in a matter of moments and shattering it on contact. Bits and pieces of marble were sent hurtling into the air. Bulma and her father looked on in awe as the smoke cleared to reveal a pile of debris where the pillar once was.
"Excellent Bulma. That was very impressive for your first shot at manipulating ki."
"Why thank you Kami.but there's one more thing we need to discuss before I really accept this job," Kami looked at the girl puzzled, but nodded for her to continue. "My pay. What do I get for offing this "warlord". No doubt he's some kind of universal big wig so it has to be a lot. And I won't settle for anything lame. We talk money, we talk several trillions. We talk goods, we talk priceless one of a kind valuable stuff. I'm not in this business for my health you know." Kami looked at Bulma shocked. How can one girl be so demanding? I had hoped she'd just take the ki boost as payment. Oh well.what could I give her.I know!
"Alright Bulma, you succeed in killing Freeza I will let you have one wish," Bulma blinked a few times. One wish? What did that mean?
"What kind of wish?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips. "Am I have limitations on this "wish" or can it be anything?"
"Anything. You see, in my possession I have seven dragonballs. Once a year these balls, when put together, have the ability to call the Eternal Dragon, Shenlong. Shenlong then grants one wish before disappearing and the dragonballs scatter. If you kill Freeza I will give you these balls and you can make any with you want."
"Oh," Bulma whispered, her hands dropping to her sides. She stood there stunned for a few moments, lost in thought. With those dragonballs I could wish for anything! Eternal youth and beauty or a perfect boyfriend.though I think I'll go for the first one...Freeza is as good as dead! "Alright Kami! I'll do it! Freeza will die by my hand and the universe will be saved and I will get my wish!" Bulma laughed gleefully and reached out and shook Kami's hand, sealing the deal.
"Good Bulma, the fate of the entire universe rests in your hands," Kami said in a very dramatic tone, typical of a planetary guardian.
"Right.now if there isn't anything else I need to know about this "job" I'll be on my way. I have to pack you know. I'm not going out into space without any of my stuff, not to mention my CDs, makeup, laptop." Bulma continued on naming things she would need until Kami got fed up.
"Alright girl! Go already! Mr. Popo is still preparing the ship for takeoff so you won't lift off till tomorrow morning."
Bulma nodded and pulled out a capsule from her pocket and a few seconds later a bran new red hover car was waiting to be driven home.
As the two humans left the lookout Kami retreated back into the main temple and sat down in a large chair. He really hoped he wasn't making a mistake sending this girl out alone in space on a mission to assassinate the most powerful being in the universe. With a sigh he closed his eyes and concentrated on his meditations
* * *
Later that night Bulma was sitting in her lab putting the finishing touches on her newest pair of guns. To the untrained eye, they looked like just a couple of regular nine millimeters. But from Bulma's view they were the ultimate in modern weaponry. From what Kami told her about her newest addition to her hit list, he couldn't be killed with ordinary bullets or ordinary weapons, so Bulma spent the last five hours after packing to design bullets that could pierce through the strongest ki shield and could cut through titanium enforced steel (I don't know if there really is such a thing but oh well) like butter. Then of course she had to design the guns to fire the bullets. Something that powerful would be wasted being shot out of a gun bought at the local shop.
Bulma held up the twin guns and admired her handiwork. Bulma wasn't only good at making computers and capsules. There was many a time several small governments asked her to design all kinds of weapons and explosives. It was kind of like her hobby, to see how wicked a gun she could make or how high could she push the yield level of a bomb without blowing up the planet.
"Bulma dear you should be in bed. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow," it was her father. Bulma stood up and put her new guns back on the her work table and stretched.
"I know.luckily I'm done working on my new gun model. Freeza doesn't stand a chance against me!"
Dr. Brief smiled. His daughter was still young enough to believe nothing could stop her. If Bulma pulled this off she would be known as the best assassin in the universe. A big title that could lead to big trouble later on.but if she couldn't do it-no he wouldn't think that. If she failed she would defidently loose more than her reputation-but he wouldn't think about that. His daughter would win, and she would come back to Earth alive and well, she had to.
"Go to bed dear," Bulma nodded and gave her father a hug.
"I'll probably be gone when you wake up. I want to get an early start. I only have half a year and I don't think tracking this guy down will be easy."
"Do what you have to do to bag this guy. I'll take care of everything here. Be careful Bulma.and make this family proud," tears threatened to spill from her eyes, but she forced them back and smirked at her father.
"I wasn't named a Brief for nothin' dad. It's all a walk in the park," she hugged her father one last time before heading up to her room for the night.
Well, there's chapter 2 for ya. I know the ending was kinda slow but that's the way it goes. Hope everybody liked it. Next time bulma goes out into space and meets up with Krillin and Chichi. You'll have to wait a little bit to find out the rest. I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as I can. Until then ja ne!
