Breakdown Chapter 8- Sight for the Blind
Disclaimer- I don't own DBZ/GT
Note- Thank you all for your comments ^_^ I got some interesting answers, but I'm not gonna put what they were yet. But you'll know who the villain(s) is(are) by the end of this chapter! Oh, and perhaps there is a bit of out of charachter-ness in Vegeta. Just call it another side-effect. ^.^ so read on...
Bulma was in a lab full of blind Saiyans. Goten had woken up a few minutes ago and she had administered the antidote. Now they were just waiting for someone to be able to see so that they could go and give the cure to Piccolo before Gohan had a coronary. Gohan wasn't the only one going crazy. Bulma *needed* to solve the mystery of the villain, but no one seemed to remember. How convenient. All she got out of them was a tale of their painful misadventures and the fact that this villain was female.
'What a big help,' Bulma felt like banging her head repeatedly on a large rock, but due to the fact that there were none around and she didn't think it was a good idea to be unconscious right now, she refrained. How many female villains had they faught? Ian's androids had all been female. Freiza mighta been female. What about what Trunks had said? Those four girls they had helped so long ago- could they be involved in this? The certainly didn't seem evil. If they had been, wouldn't they have just destroyed the warriors with those weapons of theirs? Bulma's head hurt from trying to think so hard and not getting any results. Who could it be? Bulma found herself wishing that Sam hadn't left. She could certainly use an extra brain on this problem and Sam seemed to know a lot about the Z senshi. That was another odd thing. How did Sam know that all in this room were partially, if not fully, Saiyan? It wasn't exactly broadcasted that aliens were living among the Earth's population. Bulma wasn't an idiot. Sam could be a suspect. In fact, she seemed to have a good grasp on Science- chemistry, biology, physics- could she have worked something as advanced as this? Possibly... Bulma's reverie was suddenly interrupted by a loud cry from Vegeta.
"It's a miracle!" He jumped up off the hospital bed "I can see!" Goku snickered as a large sweat-drop appeared by Bulma's head and Vegeta's face grew beet-red. He sat down quickly.
"Well good. You can go give Piccolo the antidote then," Bulma said. Vegeta shut his eyes rapidly.
"False alarm. I'm blind again."
"Forget it," Said Gohan, tired of waiting. "I'll do it myself!"
"Errr... Gohan? You can't see." Bulma reminded him.
"So what? I can sense ki," He informed the wall. Bulma groaned as Gohan attempted to walk out the door and fell over some equipment. Vegeta forgot he was blind and began laughing at the sight of Gohan trying unsuccesfully to untangle himself from the electrical wires.
"AHA!" Bulma exclaimed. "So you can see again!" She shoved the antidote into Vegeta's hand as he shut his eyes again.
"No I can't!" He claimed.
"Sure you can. You'll just have to try really hard." Bulma told him as she more-or-less threw him out the door. "And don't come back without Piccolo!" She yelled before slamming it shut.
Vegeta flew sullenly through the air toward Piccolo's ki. He hated being made a fool. At least Kakarot hadn't seen. Why was he the only one with his vision anyway? He shrugged it off as he neared a large waterfall and located Piccolo's body beside it. After injecting the cure he stepped back to wait for it to take effect. Ten minutes and a couple of sand castles later, Piccolo stirred. He looked straight at Vegeta.
"What was that?" He asked, noting that something must be terribly wrong for Vegeta to have to be anywhere near him. Vegeta kicked over one of his sculptures and replied
"How am I supposed to know? All I know is that there is a virus and I'm supposed to take you back to the Capsule Corp or the brat is gonna get himself killed. That, and you're supposed to be blind." Piccolo raised an eyebrow. Vegeta, feeling that this was an adequate explaination, said nothing, but took off back toward Capsule Corp. Piccolo followed with a slight shrug. Once there, It was quickly discovered that all of the Saiyans were able to see now, but Bulma had no idea why Piccolo was able to see right away. Talk soon fell to the mysterious girl from the dreams. Slowly, slowly, they were all beginning to recall bits about her.
"She had brown hair," Offered Goku. Gohan nodded.
"Now wait a second," Trunks said. "She had red hair!" Piccolo and Goten simply stood there. Neither had seen this girl in their dreams.
"I'm pretty sure it was brown," Goku insisted. Trunks looked confused. If the girl who visited Goku and Gohan had brown hair and the one who had visited him had red, could there not be two different people? He looked to his father.
"Don't ask me." Vegeta said. "I don't pay attention to such things as hair color."
"Wait wait wait. Didn't... wasn't... well, she *changed*." Gohan said, struggling to say what he was thinking. "I mean, at first she had red hair, and then it was brown, you know?" Goku nodded.
"Oh yeah, that's right. She had red hair and then she changed her image."
"That's great, but we still don't know what she is," Piccolo said, getting impatient.
"She's a scientist," Said Bulma. Everyone turned to look at her. "I don't know how she changed her appearance, but you guys, I think it's Sam." This didn't have quite the effect Bulma was hoping for.
"Sam?!" Goten asked. "No way. She has no powerlevel! What would she be trying to do?"
"Who's Sam?" Vegeta, Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, and Trunks asked simultaneously.
"She's that girl you met, remember? In the city." Goten told Trunks. A look of understanding overtook Trunks' confused expression. Now he remembered. But that still left the other fighters in the dark.
"Wait, if they're the same person how did she change so fast? She just waved her hand and her hair color, eye color, entire makeup changed!" Gohan protested, or rather, his brain protested. Gohan knew it was true, but his brain refused to believe it.
"Perhaps she could answer that herself," Piccolo said. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now.
"Hello? Don't you think she would've gotten as far from here as possible?" Bulma asked.
"Believe me, Bulma, there's no where she could go that we can't catch up with her," Goku assured her.
"But how are we going to find her?" Goten asked. "Her total ki level is .5!"
"I guess we're going to have to do it the old fashioned way."
Urgh, It's short, I know, but I'm hoping this post will cure my block. This just figures. Write about a virus, contract a virus. *grumbles* Actually, it's just a cold, but hey, i'm a thespian. I overact. ^.^ Hopefully, the next part will be out sooner. I say that every time... *sighs* ah well. Till next time, toodles ^.^
