Dragonball Z: Unlikely Romance
A Dragonball Z FanFic By Eric Jacobson
Chapter 7 -- The Kidnapped Saga
Episode Six - Foot Soldiers

"Alright. You boys want a fight, it's a fight you'll get!" The Amazon yelled as he
charged the three Saiyan warriors who stood before him. As he neared the trio, he
sneered and quickly directed himself upward, heading into the sky. "But you won't get
it from me just yet. First you have to defeat my little friends!" With that, he reached
into his pouches and threw out what looked like large marbles. When they hit the ground,
each turned into a little alien, as ugly as Lyle Lovett and with an attitude to mach.

"Oh great." Randal didn't seem amused. "Demon Fighters. This could get interesting."

The little demons stood all around the Saiyans, growling and laughing as the stared
down their adversaries. The Amazon, floating high above the scene, laughed himself as he
took in the view. "Well now, looks like the odds are in my favor! You boys have fun,
cause I'm gonna enjoy this one. Alot."

"Whatever, you Amazon freak. We'll get to you soon enough." Ricardo looked up at the
enemy, and then to the small fighters surrounding he and his comrades.

"I think not, you mindless monkey. Alright boys, get them, and don't stop untill these
apes have been completely destroyed!" At his command, the demons launced themselves at
the Saiyans, ready to strike. The three warriors readied themselves, and in a matter of
seconds, the battle was on.

In all, there were 10 of the creatures. Four of them attacked Ricardo, and the others
got three each. The fighting was fast and furious. Each battle moved to its own location,
whith each Saiyan combatant trying desperatly to fend off the multiple attacks.

Ry was having a bit of trouble with his batch of demons. Every time he seemed to knock
one over, another came out of nowhere to strike him from behind. But the smallest of the
three Saiyans fought valiantly, recovering as much as he could from one attacker before
facing another.

Randal was having a field day, batting the little creatures away with ease. But they
kept coming back, and it seemed as if he couldn't get the upper hand.

Ricardo had it the worst. With four of the little beasts against him, he couldn't get
a handle on the battle. They came at him from all directions, sometimes at once, sometimes
at intervals. But the attacks were constant, and it took everything he had to keep up.

On and on it went. High above the battlefield, the Amazon looked on with a large grin.
"Heh. Puny little howler monkeys. This should be rather entertaining..."



Back in the Amazon's secret lair, Bulma was using her mind-bashingly high IQ to try and
formulate some sort of escape plan. The Amazon leader had gone off to attend to some other
business. What that was, she didn't much care. This was her one oppertunity, and she wanted
to make it count.

He bindings fit her wrist snugly, but she had a little room to move. She tried to
manipulate her hand enough to wiggle it through, but it was no use. "Mizuki..."

"What?"

"I think you might be able to wiggle your hand out of the bindings. Your wirsts and
hands are smaller than mine, so you might be able to do it. If you can get one hand free,
you might be able to get both of us out and we can try to find a way out of this hell hole."

"I don't know, Bulma. What if big and ugly comes back?"

"Mizuki. I've been in situations like this before, and believe me, that chance is always
there. But this is OUR chance to get the hell out of here. And I for one don't want to find
out what that freak has in store for us. You can do it. Look, if I know Krillin at least,
he won't give up till he finds us."

"What about your guy, that cranky one? Vegeta?"

In her heart, Bulma knew that Vegeta would come for her. But her mind, mostly her
memories, clouded those feelings. The way they had met, when he came to destroy the entire
earth. But then Gohan told her about what happened on Namek. How Vegeta cried when Freiza
dealt him a death blow. And then she thought of what brought them together, the lonliness
they both felt. Then and there, she knew for sure.

"He'll be here. He's a warrior. He knows the value of honor..." She spoke with a low tone
in her voice, and Mizuki caught the emotion behind it.

"You're right. They'll be here." She began to move her hand, trying to escape the bonds.
After a few seconds, she managed to get half of her hand through. "Bulma, I'm almost
there..." One last tug proved to be all the shackles could handle, and her hand came out
with ease. "I'm out!" Working frantically, she undid her other hand, then her ankles.

Moments later, they both stood near the doorway of the main chamber in which they were
held. After a little bit of conferancing, they decided to make a break for it through the
maze of passages and see where they ended up. The plan was simple. Get somewhere where
they could contact someone. Then get out, if they could. They set off through the hallway...



High above the ocean, Yajirobi's capsule car chugged along on it's way to the island
where Korin had sent him. "Why do I always gotta be the hero. And they have to be kidding
me! They want me to help Vegeta?" He cursed Korin, and he cursed Vegeta even more. Secretly,
Yajirobi wondered if Vegeta still held a strong grudge for when he had sliced off the
Saiyan's tail...



"What the heck? Hey Vegeta, do you feel that?" Krillin looked over his shoulder as he
flew in search of their companions.

"Yes, I feel it. A whole lot of powers, and they're all working overtime. I guess those
wannabe Saiyans have found what we're looking for."

"Maybe. But whatever they found, it feels like it's heavy duty."

"Well, come on, baldie. We're going to see what's going on. Hopefully they've found the
Amazon's bunker for me and I won't have to waste my time looking." He powered up and took
off at top speed.

"Leave it to Vegeta. Oh well, I'd better get going." Krillin followed suit, and the two
were jetting off towards the fight they both sensed. He had the feeling that he'd sensed
a similar power level before, when Vegeta and Nappa had used the Saiba Men. He wondered if
Vegeta had the same feeling...



"We need some help here, boss!" Ry was trying to get through to Ricardo, who was himself
busy. "These things are too much right now, we can barely handle them!"

"I know." He continued to fight off the four little aliens as he tried to communicate
with his partner. "I think I can feel two power readings coming this way. It might be
Vegeta and the bald guy." As he finished his sentance, he quickly lept into the air and
flipped over the little aliens, landing next to Randall, who himself had managed to get
away from his attackers for a moment.

"I can feele them too, Rico. They're coming, and fast. I just hope it's not the other
two Amazons." One of the little beasts lept at Randall, but he swung his huge left arm at
it, swatting it away with a resounding thud. "Let's hope that it's him..."


What are Bulma and Mizuki up to? No wonder she's the most stubbourn woman on Earth! And will
Vegeta and Krillin join the fight in time? Find out in Episode Seven: Power Of The Saiyans,
