Part 4- A Rae of Hope
Quote: The only impossible thing in life is to figure out women
"Where am I?" Goten had found a way to get himself completely lost. He couldn't even get back to the room he started in. It seemed like the entire place was one long hall meant to get him lost. "If I don't find Vegeta, Trunks might get hurt." Goten became saddened at the thought of his ailing friend, sitting in the capsule house all alone.
"So what I was saying was that Jane should buy her stocks through our company, that way…" The voice could be heard from around the corner.
"Eeep!" Goten clapped his hands over his mouth to avoid being heard. He had to move fast. His thought about running back down the hall, but it was too far. He would be caught. The only other logical thing to do was to pick a door. Goten had tried to avoid going into any of the rooms. The fact was that he was scared of another incident happening like the one he had earlier with Bulma and Vegeta. Right now, though, he didn't have much of a choice. Goten quickly scanned all of the doors. The all looked the same, so he opened the closet one and jumped in just before the talking pair walked down the hall. Goten pressed his ear up against the side of the door to listen as they walked by.
"Who's there?" asked an old man from the inside of the room. Goten froze. There was a short hallway from the door to the main room, which would have blocked the man's view if his chair weren't directly across from the door. "I said who's there?" Goten didn't make a sound or move. He was petrified.
That's it. I'm done for. Goten stared at the old man in the chair, who coincidentally was staring right back at him. But there was something wrong. Is he looking at me? Why hasn't he noticed me yet? Goten decided to take a chance and he took a step into the room. One after another, he slowly made his way toward the man. To Goten's surprise, the old man didn't move. He's blind. Goten straightened up in relief. He tip toed his way to the door and exited the room as quietly as possible. He leaned up against the wall and sighed. "I have to find my way out of here." Goten walked down the hall a little ways before realizing that he was going to be lost again. He stopped and tried to think of a plan. "Maybe I should try another door." He thought about it a moment. It was obvious that he wasn't going to find anything roaming the hallways. If he tried a couple of rooms he might find something useful, like a door or a map.
"Stop, Todd. We aren't even in our room yet." Goten listened in. It was another couple coming from around the corner. Goten's time frame to choose a door was rapidly diminishing again. "Um… this one." He picked a door three away from the one he was at and entered the room quickly, once again barely escaping detection.
"That was close." Goten looked around the new room. It was bigger than the other one, plus there seemed to be no one inside. "Great. I can hide out here until those guys leave." Goten ran over and jumped on the bed. It was then that he heard a sound that he wished he hadn't. It was a shower.
"We are family…" sang a female voice. It was coming from another door in the room that no doubt led to a bathroom.
"Not again." Goten could just see the events from earlier in the day replaying themselves over now. He rolled off of the bed and was going to exit the room, but he heard the voices of the people outside. He stopped short at the door and listened in.
"What do you mean you talked to Melisa?" asked the female voice.
"I only talked to her for a minute," said the male voice.
"Are you cheating on me?"
"NO! Why does everything have to turn to cheating?"
"You tell me!" Goten didn't understand what was going on between the two, but from his experience with Bulma and Vegeta, they didn't sound like they would be going anywhere anytime soon. To make matters worse the shower turned off at that moment. Goten began to panic. There was nowhere to hide. Actually, there were two places: a closet and under the bed. He chose under the bed. After he scooted under it, Goten realized that he had picked a good hiding spot. The bed was low enough to hide him and, at the same time, watch the door to the bathroom. The door was close enough to the point where whoever was inside would have to see him as soon as she came out or she wouldn't spot him.
I hope it isn't Bulma. The door opened and let the steam from inside streak out. From inside came a girl about Goten's age with short, blonde hair. She had one towel around her body and she was drying her hair with the other. The girl made her way over to the closet and grabbed some clothes out. Goten couldn't see enough to know what they were. Then there were a series of sounds. A towel dropped to the floor and landed to the side of the bed. Then a hand came down under the bed.
"Where are my boots?" asked the girl to herself. Her hand searched and came closer to Goten. He dodged it as best he could without making any noise, but she was getting closer. Luckily he spotted her boots and was able to move them into her reach before she found him. She pulled the both of them from under the bed and put them on her feet. The girl stood up and didn't move. Goten held his breath, hoping that she would just leave the room, but she didn't budge.
What is she doing? Why won't she go away?
"I guess that's everything." The girl took a step forward before stopping. Then she bent down and looked under the bed, right at Goten. "You can come out from under there now."
"What the…" Goten jumped when she saw him and hit his head on the bottom of the bed. "Owww." He crawled out from under the bed and rubbed his head. "How did you know that I was under there?"
"I saw you when I came out of the bathroom." Goten noticed that she was unusually calm for someone who knew that someone else was in the room with them while they were practically naked.
"You didn't say anything."
"If I said something, you would have come out from under there and I would never had gotten a chance to get dressed. If I made you leave the room, you might not have stayed long enough for me to ask you why you were under there… so why were you under there." Goten realized that there was no point to lying. She probably already had him figured out.
"I was hiding."
"From who?"
"Everyone. I don't have a ticket, but I need to tell my friend's father that he is in trouble."
"Really? Is it bad?"
"Yeah. I had to leave him in a capsule house to get help. If I don't hurry he might not make it."
"That sounds awful." The girl thought about it for a second. "Maybe I can help. I can heal people."
"Really?" asked Goten. "How?" The girl showed him the palms of her hands.
"I don't know exactly. All I know is that I am able to heal people by placing my hands on them." To prove her point she placed her hand on Goten's forehead. A yellow light glowed and within a matter of seconds the pain was all gone. Goten couldn't believe it. He hadn't hit his head all that hard, but this girl's power was amazing anyway.
"That's pretty cool." He rubbed his head just to make sure it had worked.
"So what is your friends name?"
"Trunks, and my name is Goten." He stuck his hand out to shake, unable to think of any other way to greet her. She took it and shook it.
"My name is Rae." She bowed slightly. Goten did the same out of respect.
"Okay. Now we have to go help Trunks. I hope he is still okay." Rae had a strange look on her face that caught the attention of Goten. "What's wrong?"
"I feel like I know that name."
"Trunks?"
"Yes. It sounds familiar, as does yours. I don't know why." Rae scratched her head. "Anyway, let's go." She ran out of the room and started down the hall with Goten close behind. "Do you know where you left your friend?"
"Yes. He's in the woods. He was attacked by someone named Hunter and we…"
"Hunter?" interjected Rae. Goten nodded his head.
"Do you know him too?"
"I don't know." Rae shook her head, trying to make sense of it all. She stopped her thought when they reached the end of the hall. "Here we are." Rae pointed to a window. Goten stared at it, then at her, confused as to what he was supposed to do.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Aren't you going to open the window for me like a gentleman?" She gestured toward the window again. Goten shrugged and opened it. "Thank you." Rae carefully stepped through, moving slowly from the window sill to a nearby tree." Goten was now more confused than before.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you climb over there?"
"What did you expect me to do? We can't go out the front. If you get spotted you'll never get back to your friend."
"Yeah, but…"
"What did you expect me to do? Fly down?" Rae started to laugh a little bit. Goten's face turned slightly red, which made Rae laugh harder… until she saw Goten float out the window. It startled her and she was thrown of balance. Rae fell out of the tree, but she didn't fall far before Goten caught her. He set down on the ground below the window and placed her on her feet. Rae was just a little too stunned to say much of anything. There was a brief silence before she was able to collect herself. "You can fly?" Goten nodded his head.
"My brother taught me."
"Your brother can fly too?" Goten looked at her like she was crazy.
"Yeah. So can my father, Trunks, his father, Krillan…" Rae's head started to spin as all the names of the people who could fly were read off to her. When it was finished Goten had to take a deep breath.
"If Trunks can fly, why didn't he just fly here himself?"
"He can't. He's too weak." Goten snapped back to reality, remembering his first goal. "We have to help him." He floated off of the floor and was about to blast off when he looked back at Rae on the ground, staring at him.
"Forgetting something."
"Sorry." Goten landed and picked Rae back up again. He lifted off of the ground and slowly started to fly back to the capsule house. "I hope we're not too late."
"So do I."

"Hello, Bulma," said the Madam. She pointed to a big table that had a reserved sign on it. "Bring your husband and your friends and join me over here. We have a lot to talk about." Madam Tush approached the table and sat in the largest seat. Taking the Madam up on her offer first was Chi Chi, but not before she retrieved her husband from the food table."
"But Chi Chi, I'm hungry," complained Goku.
"All you've been doing is eating since we got here. Let's go NOW!" She grabbed Goku by the ear and pulled him away from the table. He desperately tried to hold on to his plate, but he was unable to do so. It fell onto the ground, spilling the food everywhere."
"NOOOO!" Goku whimpered as Chi Chi dragged him over to the Madam's table, all the while his eyes fixed on the lost food. "I didn't even get a chance to try the cheesecake."
"Vegeta?" Bulma called as she closed in on her husband. Vegeta was in one of the corners of the room, looking out a twenty-foot window.
"Who is she?" he asked without turning to face his wife.
"Who is who?"
"That woman you were just talking to. Who is she?"
"Oh her. That is the hostess, Madam Heidy Tush." Bulma took another step toward him. "Why? Do you recognize her?"
"No, but she has a very distinct aura to her. It seems that she has a lot of fighting power."
"Fighting power? The Madam? That's impossible. She can't move any faster than a quick walk. She's always wearing high-heel shoes. She can't fight."
"I can see how she looks!" he snapped, a little annoyed that she was still unconvinced that something was going on. "Just because she looks that way now doesn't mean that she can't fight."
"Well, even if she can fight, what is the problem?"
"The problem is that she isn't the only one I feel great power from."
"… What do you mean?" Vegeta turned toward Bulma and walked up to her.
"Look." He placed his hands on her shoulders and slowly turned her around so that she was facing the party again.
"What am I looking at?"
"Everyone." Bulma gasped at the word. "Everyone here is at least at the power level of that bald headed monk Krillan. Some have even more, but the Madam is the exception."
"How high is her power?" Bulma asked, almost whispering.
"That is just the problem. Hers is the lowest." Bulma felt a wave of relief flow over her body. She had been a little frightened for a moment.
"Then that's a good thing."
"No." Vegeta closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "You wouldn't know because you can't read power levels." Vegeta was hesitating, almost as if he didn't want to tell Bulma what was going on. "She has such a low level because she is trying to hide it."
"Hide it?"
"She is pushing down her power level because it is so high. I don't know exactly how high it is, but it is probably enough to give Kakarotto or myself a problem." Bulma felt uneasy about that. "Where is his mate?"
"Chi Chi? She is… with the…" She choked up on the words. Vegeta stepped over until he was right along side of her.
"There is nothing to worry about right now. As long as Kakarotto is with her, she cannot be harmed." That eased her heart a little bit. Bulma then grabbed the arm of Vegeta and pulled him close.
"No reason to take any chances." They walked over to the table and sat down.
**********
The night had become a little cooler. The wind was starting to pick up and there were signs of rain about to fall. None of this was good news to Trunks, who was slowly making his way through the forest. He had made it a considerable distance from the capsule house, but he still had a long way to go to get to the mansion. His job was being made worse by the changing conditions. Trunks took a step forward toward a hill. He had to stop to catch his breath.
"I'm almost there. I have to keep going." Trunks took a deep breath, sending a surge of pain through his chest. "Damn! I need a senzu." Trunks carefully placed his foot at the start of the hill, trying to keep his balance. He slowly put more and more pressure on it. "That went well. Now all I only have to do that about one hundred more times." Trunks put his foot out to take another step but slipped. In a matter of a second he was flat on his face and moving down a mudslide. "AHHHHH!" Trunks fell head over heels the whole way down to the bottom of the hill. That was when he collided head first with a tree stump.
"Ouch! That hurt!" He rubbed his head, getting all of the mud, dirt, and leaves out of his hair. He rolled over and landed on his stomach. After a few minutes of struggling, Trunks knew that he wasn't going to be able to get up anytime soon, possibly ever. "It's over. I'm done for. I can't move." Trunks placed his head on his arm. "I… should just go to sleep." He closed his eyes for the last time.
**********
"How far is it, Goten?" asked Rae.
"It's right there." Goten pointed to an open field with a building somewhere near the center. "That's where Trunks is." Goten increased his speed and landed in front of the house in no time. He set Rae down on her feet and ran inside. Rae followed close behind.
"Trunks!" she yelled as she entered the door.
"Trunks!" Goten ran upstairs and disappeared into the bedroom. He came out a few moments later in a panic. "He's not there."
"Where could he be? Didn't you say that he was injured?" Goten nodded his head. "Then maybe he tried to get to the party to find you." Rae rushed out the door. Goten came out a few moments later and saw her staring at the ground.
"What are you looking at?"
"Can't you see the ground?" Goten gave her a blank look. "The ground is pushed down here." Still Goten gave her the blank look. "Someone was here not to long ago and, by the impression in the ground, it looks like they were dragging there feet. Whoever it was that left those prints had to be in bad shape." Rae pointed to the side. "He went that way. C'mon." Rae ran off toward the forest. Goten took a moment to look at the spot on the ground that she had pointed out. He bent over so that he was inches away and was finally able to see the impression that Rae had seen.
"How did she see that?" he wondered aloud.
"Let's go, Goten." Rae had to yell from over fifty feet away. Goten stood up off the floor and ran to catch up. They entered the forest at the same time. Rae walked forward, staring at the ground, while Goten followed a few feet behind, trying to understand how she was able to see the ground prints.
"Do you know where he is?"
"I think I do." Rae pointed to a hill. "He is somewhere down there."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. The prints here are very heavy. They haven't been here all that long. As a matter of fact, they are very fresh. He's probably at the bottom." Rae took a couple of steps backward.
"What are you doing?"
"Going down the fast way." She ran forward and jumped, flipping forward. Goten's jaw dropped. Rae hit a tree, bounced off, and landed on the ground without getting a drop of mud on herself. Goten floated down to her, stunned by what he had just seen.
"I didn't know you could do that."
"I didn't know you could fly either." She said, making fun of him.
"Why didn't you do that before?"
"Because I don't like to show off."
"Oh… well where is Trunks?" Rae looked around, trying to pick up on the trail again.
"Look! There!" Rae ran over to a spot a few yards away. Goten flew. They both stopped just before they reached their destination, unable to believe what they had seen. Rae was almost at tears. "Is that him?" Goten approached the body and knelt down.
"Trunks." He nudged his friend, hoping that he would make some movement. "Can you help him?"
"Not if he is…" Rae stopped, not wanting to end the sentence, but Goten already knew what she meant. "Is he?" Goten placed his hand on the neck of Trunks. He didn't know exactly how to do it, but he was going to try. He checked for a pulse and felt none. The tears were welling up in his eyes more and more with each moment.
"No, Trunks. You can't die. Not now. Trunks!" Goten slammed his eyes shut to try to keep the tears from pouring out, but it was no use. His eyes drained and the emotion exploded forth. "TRUNKS!"
"What?" Goten's eyes shot open like bullets. He stared at his friend, not sure if what he had just heard was a dream.
"Trunks?"
"Goten?" Trunks head lifted ever so slowly until he was eye to eye with Goten. "How you doing, Goten?" Trunks' head fell back down to his arm.
"Rae! Please help him!"
"Okay." She stepped over to Trunks and carefully rolled him over to his back. The Saiyan groaned. "That's a good sign." Rae placed her hands lightly on the chest of Trunks, which was covered in mud. Then the yellow glow incased the area. Goten watched as she worked on him for over a minute.
"What's happening? Why is it taking so long?"
"I'm sorry. It's all of the mud. It takes longer when something is in the way." Rae closed her eyes to concentrate more. The yellow glow brightened and Trunks started flinching.
"Whoa!" Trunks said as he sat up. "I'm healed. What happened?" He looked at Rae. "Who are you?"
"I'm Rae. Hello, Trunks."
"You know my name?" asked Trunks. He sat up and cleaned himself off the best that he could. Of course the mud wasn't budging, but he had more important things on his mind.
"Yes I do." Rae could see that explaining everything might take a couple of minutes. "Goten told me."
"I did?" asked a confused Goten. Rae nudged him and he shut up. She thought it best not to tell Trunks the truth, not just yet anyway. She would wait for a more appropriate time.
"Well there is no time to get into that now," said Trunks. "Hunter is on his way toward the party."
"Hunter?" asked Goten. "Did you see him again?" Trunks looked at his newly healed chest.
"Yeah. I saw him. He was going to try to find you at the party. I guess he didn't do a very good job."
"I beg to differ. I've been doing very well." Everyone looked up and saw Hunter floating above. A mix of fear and anger rushed over Trunks. "I'm hurt that you would think that I would fail so easily."
"You bastard!" Trunks jumped off of the ground and into the air. "You aren't going to get away that easily!"
"Then follow me, Trunks. I have a couple of people that I want you to meet." Hunter blasted off and Trunks rushed after him. Goten and Rae were left in the rain, which was coming down hard now.
"Something bad is about to happen, isn't it?" asked Rae.
"Yes. This isn't good. I have to go help him. You have to stay here."
"No! Have you forgotten that I can heal? If something goes wrong I can help you." Goten started to argue, but he knew that she was right.
"Okay. I'll bring you back there, but you have to stay outside and out of the way. You might get hurt. Promise me that you will stay out of danger." Rae was silent. She wanted to help as much as she could, and she was worried about what would happen to Goten.
"I can't."
"Promise me!" Rae was beginning to cry. She had met Goten only about an hour ago, maybe a little more, and she was already feeling fond of him. She had to make sure he would survive the encounter, but she couldn't do that if Goten didn't bring her back to the mansion with him. She had no choice in the matter.
"Okay. I'll stay out of the way." Rae felt like she was going to be helpless, but Goten gave her a smile that made a smile come to her face as well.
"Thanks." Goten picked her up and they blasted off after Trunks and Hunter, knowing that they were going into a battle zone.
**********
"So, Vegeta, I have heard so much about you," said the Madam.
"From where?" The tone in Vegeta's voice showed that he wished not to talk, but the Madam seemed to take this as a challenge.
"I have many sources. They are not important. What is important is what they told me about you and your friend here, Goku." Hearing his Goku actually started to pay attention to the conversation.
"What do you know about me?" asked Goku.
"I know that you are not from this world. I know that in fact you are actually a Saiyan warrior who was sent here by the government of your world which Vegeta had power over. You landed on the earth and were meant to exterminate the inhabitants but you instead lived with them. You defeated all of the enemies that threatened the world: Radditz, Nappa, Frieza, Buu, and even Vegeta." That remark earned the Madam a very evil look from the Saiyan prince, who was not happy about being reminded of the first battle between he and Kakarotto.
"How do you know all of this?"
"I've been studying you. A girl has to have her hobbies."
"I am no lab rat," said Vegeta bluntly.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Vegeta got up from the table and walked away. Bulma looked at the Madam in disbelief before following him. The Madam pretended to be surprised. "Is something wrong?"
"Vegeta doesn't like to talk about the time when we first met," explained Goku. "It wasn't on the best of terms."
"Really?" The Madam stood up. "Well that means that he isn't going to like what's going to happen here all that much either."
"What?" Goku stood up, but was quickly forced back into his seat. Large wires were twisting around him and soon they had him covered. They continued to rap around him and tighten. In a matter of seconds, they had him in a sphere shape prison. Chi Chi jumped back and fell to the floor.
"What are you doing to him?" she asked, scared out of her wits.
"I wouldn't worry about him right now. He can take care of himself, I'm sure. You should be more worried about whether I am going to kill you." Madam Tush pushed away her chair; that was all the warning Chi Chi needed. She could fight, but she knew this was way out of her league. Chi Chi took off, right by Vegeta and Bulma. Both had turned around to see what had happened. A hole opened in the floor under Goku's sphere and sucked him in, closing completely afterward.
"Bulma, get back! Get Chi Chi and get out of here!"
"But…"
"NOW!" Bulma obeyed and grabbed Chi Chi by the arm. She pulled her friend to her feet and they both ran out the door. Vegeta looked back at the Madam. There was an intense rage in his face, but it also had calmness to it. "So this was a trap. Can't say that I'm surprised."
"If you knew, why did you come?"
"I have my reasons, none of which need to be explained to you."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha." The Madam stepped away from the table and toward Vegeta. "You are so stubborn. That is exactly why we aren't going to use you for the experiment."
"Experiment?" That had somewhat caught Vegeta's attention, although he continued to be on his guard.
"Ah yes. This is supposed to be the point in the story where the bad guy tells the good guy exactly what the plan is." She brushed her hair out of her face in a playful way.
"I suppose you aren't going to tell me. Pity." Vegeta smirked. The Madam returned the glance. Vegeta grabbed his tuxedo and pulled it off, throwing it on a nearby table. "I guess I'll have to beat the answer out of you. No offense."
"None taken, but you'll be wasting your time. I have nothing against telling you anything. We just have to change the environment." Vegeta wondered what she was talking about.
"What are… shit!" Vegeta jumped up off of the floor just in time to avoid a wire coming out of the ground. Several more shot up and tried to coil around the Saiyan, but he was able to dodge them easily. Madam Tush looked on with interest.
"You're not half bad. Let's turn up the heat." At her word, more than five hundred more wires shot up from the ground. Vegeta quickly dodged and blasted at them, but they were too great in numbers. As Vegeta attempted to blow another wire up with a ki shot, one latched on to his food."
"Crap!" Vegeta was slammed down to the ground and instantly tied up in metal wires from the neck down.
"That's the end of that. Now that the environment has been dealt with, I can finish my story."
"You little witch!" Madam Tush laughed again.
"Don't insult me, Vegeta. I'm not the one dangling from hundreds of metal wires." The Madam gazed into Vegeta's eyes and approached him. The wires picked Vegeta up off of the floor and stood him up.
"What the hell are you doing? Get away from me, tramp!"
"Again with the insults. How will I ever get you to shut your mouth? Hmmm." Tush gently put a hand on Vegeta's face. He tried with all of his might to shake it off, but he couldn't move enough. "Maybe you'll shut up if I…" Without another word, the Madam passionately kissed him… with Bulma looking on from the outside of the mansion.
"That slut! I'm going to kill her!" Bulma stormed off toward the door and had to be convinced otherwise by Chi Chi.
"Stop, Bulma. How do you expect to do anything?"
"How? I'll show you how. I'm going to use my invention, that's how." Bulma dug into her pocketbook.
"What are you looking for?"
"Remember I told you that I trained with Vegeta in the gravity room? Well I had a little help from these." Bulma pulled out two thin wristbands. "These are my Saiyan Guards. They gave me the power I needed to get into the gravity room and train." Chi Chi stared at the thin wristbands.
"How do they work?"
"It's very simple. These have Vegeta's blood in them. When I put them on, the blood is pumped into my system along with little machines called micromites. They allow the different blood types to mix. From there on, the blood has the same effect on me that it has on Vegeta. It gives me immeasurable power and it even changes my hair black. I have to tie it in a long ponytail to keep it under control."
"And they work?"
"Yes. I had no problem training with Vegeta. It was actually kind of fun."
"It sounds like the blood had more of an effect on you than you meant for it to."
"Yeah. That is a problem. It can become a real problem trying to change back. The wristbands are basically indestructible, but I can take them off easily… if I want to. I had to be convinced to take them off the first time."
"That doesn't sound all that good."
"No, but it is worth the risk. I don't mind it if there is a good enough reason to use it. Like now."
"What do you want me to do?" Bulma looked at her friend, wondering whether she should say anything.
Do I tell her about the second set that I made for her? I know that I have already decided to go the distance with these, to test them on myself, but I don't know if I should let her take that same chance. There is so much that I don't know about this that I might be putting her at risk. Is that fair?
"Bulma?"
But then she is an adult who can make her own decisions. And there is the other factor. Without her, I can't do the fusion. Right now it doesn't seem like a good idea because I don't know enough about this, but we might need the extra power. If Chi Chi can't do it, who can?
"Bulma? Are you alright?" Bulma looked at her friend again and decided to let Chi Chi decided for herself.
"Here." She took the second set of Saiyan Guards out of her pocketbook and gave them to Chi Chi. "This is how you can help. If you decided to use them, all you have to do is put them on. If you decide not to use them, don't let anyone get their hands on them. Okay?" Chi Chi nodded. Bulma turned around and stood in front of the door. "It's show time." Bulma took one of the Guards and placed it on her right wrist. She put the other Guard on her left wrist. "You can stay here; I'm going to help my husband." With that, Bulma tore off her "Cinderella" dress. Under it she had on her training uniform from earlier on. It her pants were pink spandex with tiger stripes. She had a skintight spandex shirt, cut off half way, which went to her shoulders and also had tiger stripes. Lastly, the Guards that she had put on extended half way to her elbow now.
"Why are you wearing that?"
"It comes with the bands. It is something more comfortable to fight in. I want to be completely comfortable when I tear that witch limb from limb." She stomped off into the mansion, dead set on hurting a certain madam.
"I guess that Saiyan blood is already affecting her." Said Chi Chi to herself. She stared long and hard at the Guards, wondering what she should do.
"Oh, hello Bulma. How are…" Madam Tush noticed that Bulma was now radiating with power and becoming slightly muscular. "Have you been working out while you were away?" Bulma didn't answer. She just continued to walk forward. The next thing to happen was her hair turned black and grew into an extremely ponytail. "That was impressive. Instant hair. That would be a hit among old men."
"Get away from my husband, slut." Bulma stepped right up to the Madam.
"And what if I don't?"
"You will." Bulma hit the Madam with a quick punch to the shoulder. The Madam doubled over in pain. Bulma kicked her right in the face and sent her flipping through the air, landing on her face. Bulma maneuvered herself in front of Vegeta.
"You are going to pay for that."
"No. You are going to pay. You touched my husband." Bulma's ki started flaring wildly. "Now you will experience Saiyan rage mixed with a really pissed off woman. That is not something that you want to see."
"Well, well. Bring it on, then. Let's see if you are for real."
"Fine with me. Say goodbye; it's time to die."
