Chapter 8 : The Pageant Continues
Don't own dbz
Hey people I'm sorry I took so long, but my computer crashed and I had to get a whole new hard drive.
Anyway on with the story.
Bulma and Chi-Chi were in the dressing room getting Bulma ready for the speed round, that is putting her armor back on and cleaning all the make up off of her. "Bulma what happened to that red dress that you said you were going to were." Chi-Chi asked, she was shocked that Bulma wore the bikini, when they had already picked out a dress for her to wear. They had both agreed on the short, red, corset dress just before the pageant, after hours of looking at hundreds of gowns.
"Oh, that thing ." Bulma replied. "I thought I needed more than that to boost my score to the lead."
"But what do you think Vegeta thought about you coming out with that on." Chi-Chi said pointing to the stringy thing (bikini) laying across the chair.
"Well, he wanted me to win didn't he."
"But I don't think...."Chi-Chi was cut off win Vegeta came in and slammed the door. "Uh, I leave you to alone." she said knowing what the scowl on Vegeta's face meant, as she walked out the door.
"Aren't you happy for me I'm in the lead! Isn't that wonderful!"exclaimed Bulma, turning around in her chair from facing the mirror to face Vegeta. She then noticed his expression.
"Don't give me that, you know exactly why I came in here!" Yelled Vegeta.
"What are you talking about?"
"THIS!!!" Vegeta shouted walking over to the chair and holding up the bikini.
"And what about THAT!"
"I wanted you to win, but I did think you would go so low do it!"
"LOW?"
"Yes, LOW! Coming out there looking like a common whore! Now how do you think my father and everyone else will look at you from now on?"
"They'll look at me as their next queen and I don't think that as 'going so low'!"
"NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU WEAR ANYTHING LIKE THIS CRAP IN PUBLIC!!!" Vegeta shouted, with the bikini balled up in a fist, then igniting it, burning it to a crisp, then allowing the ashes to fall to the floor. He then calmed down a bit. "But you can wear those things when we're alone, but I prefer you wear nothing at all." he added. "That's all I have to say about that. Anyway I also came to bring you this..." he said taking the small book from behind his back.
"What's that for?" she taking it from him, scrolling through it.
"While you're just sitting here doing nothing, you need to study it. It's to help you out in the intelligence round." he said.
"Oh." she said studying the small book, noticing what was contained in it. "It's mostly about saiyan history, It won't take me long to read it, thanks."
"Whatever, just be ready after the next competition."
"Anyway, what will we be doing for the speed competion? You never mentioned it to me." Bulma asked, she was still scaning through the little history book.
"That's because I don't know exactly myself, I think it has something to do with fighting a droid."
"FIGHTING!" she shouted dropping the book to the floor.
"You'll see, but for now I have to go. Good luck." he said smirking, then he left the dressing room to go back to the arena.
"Just great! No one said anything about fighting!" Just then Chi-Chi peaked her head in the door.
"Hey girl, Its time to start the speed competion." she said.
"Alright I'm coming."
Bulma and ChiChi made their way back to the arena, being the last to return. The annoucer was ready to put out the imformation they needed to know for the next round. "Okay everyone, the speed competion has now begun. Candidates, when I call your names, you will enter the ring that you see before you. From there, when the bell sounds you will face this droid." He said, pointing to the droid in the center of the ring, looking similiar to those driods you see on star wars or something, except, this one was programmed to fight hand to hand combat. He was already in fighting stance waiting for his first victim to enter the ring.
"The point system for the this round is very different..." the annoucer continued. "How fast you take this droid down, will determine how good your score will be. We will be going off the record time set by our last queen, may she rest in peace, which is 60 seconds flat, which will be 60 pts. Add a point for each second less than, and subtract a point for each second over 60 seconds. So each candidate will have a total of 120 seconds to even score, anything after that is an automatic 0 pts and the fight will be stopped. First up will be Tomora, of course... oh and no ki blast are allowed."
"Well, that's one thing I don't have to worry about." Bulma sighed to herself.
Tomora entered the ring and got into fighting stance. The bell then sounded, and she took off , throwing a left punch at the droid, it blocked her punch and answered by throwing its own punch. (all this in super fast speed) The same thing continued for 59 seconds and Tomora finally got the droid down by suprising it with an uppercut. The driod then landed on the floor of the ring, with Tomora just making 60 seconds. The crowd was roaring. "Wow that's 60 pts for the saiyan, which ties her with the record! " Tomora then stepped out of the ring and proceeded to her waiting section.
"That was a sinch!"she said to her brother. "Now I'll just sit back and wait for that weakling to get crushed."
Bulma was sitting in her section watching the next candidate, Celine, enter the ring. "I might as well, study this thing and see if I can find a weakness, I won't be able to beat this thing by fighting it directly." she said, examining the droid take Celine on. Celine took the droid down in a matter of 69 seconds. "Thats 51 pts for Celine, Good job. Next is Kaede..." Kaede took the droid down in 61 seconds which gave her 59 points, and then Nesha, coming in with 70 seconds, giving her 50 pts. "Here's the Candidate you've all been waiting for...Bulma." The crowd went wild chanting "Bulma! Bulma! Bulma!..." (Looks like Bulma became popular since that last round.)
Tomora became full of jealousy and anger. "She' s not going to win this round, it would be impossible for such a scrawny thing. I bet she won't even get on hit off it." she said to Brolli.
"Duh, yeah and they have to stop the fight." he said, leaving both of them laughing evily.
Bulma stepped into the ring shaking. "This is it, don't get scared now." She said to herself. "Just remember your plan." The bell then sounded adding to her fear. The droid made the first move by clipping her and knocking her on her back. It then held her in place with one of its feet, almost breaking her ribs. Twenty seconds already passed. "Come on Bulma get up!"Chi-Chi shouted.
"There's no way she's getting up!" Tomora shouted over to Chi-Chi. "You might as well throw in the towel!"
Vegeta looked calm on the outside, but on the inside he was panicing. "Ugh! I should stop this right now, before she gets hurt." he thought.
Another twenty seconds quickly passed and Bulma was about to give up, when she remember her plan. "Now where did I see that? Oh yeah, there it is!" She said as she struggled to stretch her arm up, reaching for something on the driod. "Almost..." The crowd was starting to lose their faith and Vegeta, also had started to get up and stop the fight "..Almost...GOT IT!!!" The Driod suddenly shut down when she flipped its power switch. She calmly removed its foot off her, then standing and tipped it over with one finger. "KLANG! KLANG! KLANG!" was all that could be heard throughout the arena, everyone out their seats looking amazed. She had broken the last queen's record of 60 seconds and replaced it with 50 seconds. The silence soon died and all the spectators were on their feet cheering as the annoucer enter the ring.
"WE HAVE A NEW RECORD! THAT'S 50 SECONDS FOR BULMA GIVING HER 70 PTS TO ADD TO HER SCORE!" he shouted to the crowd. Bulma was now out side the ring holding hands with Chi-Chi, jumping up and down, rejoicing for her accomplishment. Tomora, on the other hand, was once again fumed with anger and decided to question the judges about Bulma's outstanding performance.
"What do you mean it's allowed!" She shouted at the judges, bring King Vegeta to his feet.
"GRRRRRRR!!! SILENCE! I will not have you disrespecting your elders, let alone myself! Now just shut up and listen, the rules clearly states that the candidate must take the droid down, BY ANY MEANS NECCESSARY, excluding the use of ki blasts and any other form of weapons. DO YOU UNDERSTAND OR DO I HAVE TO BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU!" Tomora was very embarrassed/angry that the king had to tell her off, in front of the prince and Bulma of all people.
"Yes your majesty, I understand." she replied softly.
"NOW REMOVE YOURSELF FROM MY SIGHT, BEFORE I DISQUALIFY YOUR SORRY ASS!" (well, Tomora certainly doesn't have the king's favor), he then calmly sat down in his chair and crossed his arms (Yes people, Vegeta style), leaving Tomora to walk back to her section giving Bulma an evil eye on the way.
"Well..." the annoucer continued speaking. "...after 3 competitions we have Bulma of Chikyuu, in first place with a score of 130.5 pts, Tomora of Vegetasei, in second with 115 pts, a tie for third between Kaede of Vegetasei and Celine of Kuri, both with 107 pts, and last we have Nesha of Ukra, not far behind with 106 pts. Next will be the intelligence competition, which will start in another 30 minutes. Ladies you may now go to your dressing rooms to freshen up for the next round..."Bulma still celebrating, left with Chi-Chi to her dressing room, winking to Vegeta on the way.
