AN: I never thought that I would actually post this because I'm not really satisfied with this mini sequel. So I'm just going to post this part and see how people react to it. If the reaction is positive, I'll post the rest of it. If it's negative, I'll take it down.
I almost forgot to add, my original plan was to write a LONG prequel and a LONG sequel, both of them separately, but I'm getting new ideas and I don't think I can cope with writing another epic so this will have sort of be the sequel and prequel added together and compressed.
Reflections:
A blue haired princess stood on her balcony, looking over at the glorious city that spread out in front of her. In a matter of hours, it would be gone. Everything will be destroyed, even herself. The princess heard a noise in the room behind her and she turned around. She smiled as she saw a figure walking towards her.
"Good evening, Piccolo. Are my children asleep?" she asked as she turned back to the view.
"Yes, my princess. They are in their rooms and sleeping peacefully," Piccolo replied as he followed Bulma's gaze.
"That's good. A good death is to die in our sleep. I would do so myself but I can't sleep. How can I when I know that within a few hours, the Saiyans will be extinct? How can I sleep when I know that it's my entire fault," Bulma said as tears started to fall down her cheeks. She started to lower her head and tears started to drip onto the floor. "Maybe I can finally meet him again."
Piccolo started shaking his head. "After five years, you still love him just as much as you did before. And the fate of this planet is definitely not your fault at all. Princess, I think it's time I told you something about the past. You deserve to know."
Bulma suddenly looked up. Confusion was clearly written on her face. "What are you talking about?"
Piccolo started to take a deep breath. "When you were just a little girl and still lived on this planet, you met the prince of Vejitasei."
Bulma's eyes widened and her mouth started hanging open. "That's not true! I don't remember that ever happened!"
Piccolo placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Let me explain from the start. It happened a month before Frieza's attack. You were three years old…"
**Past**
"How's Bulma coping with that training you've put her through," the King questioned his daughter.
Soraya smiled. "Everything is fine, father. She's extremely intelligent for a three year old. She learnt how to talk, use magic, and fight, very quickly."
"That's very wonderful to hear, dear, now where is Bulma?" the Queen asked. As if on queue, the door of the large hall slid open and Piccolo walked in, with Bulma bouncing in after him. Piccolo bowed to the king and queen. "Princess, training will start again as soon as you finish eating," Piccolo said. Bulma nodded as she watched Piccolo turn around and leave the room. She then bounded near the table and slid onto a chair next to Soraya. A maid then walked in through another door holding a tray. She placed three steaming plates in front of Bulma and then a glass of water. "Thank you, Neera," Bulma said to the maid as she grabbed her fork and knife and started to dig in her food.
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Soraya. Three days from now, there will be a banquet," the King suddenly spoke.
Soraya started to widen her eyes in surprise. "A banquet? What for?"
"The royal family of Vejitasei will be coming to our planet. But this is no alliance dinner. We are simply discussing plans if Frieza attacks. You know our planet will be completely annihilated if we don't have any help, and Vejitasei feels the same way," the Queen answered her daughter.
"Are you sure you want help from... Vejitasei?"
"Yes, we've been discussing about this for quite some time," her father said. He then quickly added, "If you have any hopes of seeing that foolish third class goon from Vejitasei, then that would be completely out of the question. I will not allow it."
Soraya took a deep breath. "Please don't be so difficult, father. We've already been through this."
Bulma suddenly started to butt in. "Grandpa, we're going to have a banquet?? Wow! I can't wait; I know it's going to be fun."
The King was about to make a statement but his wife gave him a glare. The King then sighed and smiled at Bulma. "Well, I know that you always liked banquets."
"So when do they arrive?" Soraya interrupted.
The King paused for a second.
"Tonight."
**Present**
"A Banquet?" Bulma asked questioningly as she waited for Piccolo to answer her.
"Yes, and I remember later that day when we began to train. You were quite good with magic…"
**Past**
"Concentrate, princess. I will now present you the opponents," Piccolo instructed. He then closed his eyes and started to concentrate on something. All of a sudden, a dozen large warriors appeared, surrounding Bulma. Bulma's eyes widened, thinking how it could be possible for her to destroy it. Since she was so short, she felt as if the room was closing in, but that couldn't be possible since there were no walls in the room (this room is just like the room of Time and Spirit in DBZ).
"Don't be nervous, I know you can do it. Just think about tactics," Piccolo called out.
Bulma nodded and started to levitate into the air as the warriors formed a large circle around her. An idea then struck in her head. She started to smirk. She then started to concentrate and her body started to glow blue. Then her eyes started to glow purple.
"TIME FREEZE!!" she yelled out as her eyes glowed even brighter. As soon as that happened, the warriors froze into place, unable to move or even think.
"Now it's time to use my magic," Bulma said to herself. She closed her eyes and started to chant. "I summon the power from within, the power Saijin has created. I awaken thee." Suddenly, her pendant started to glow as well as herself. Her long hair started to swiftly move up, as if a strong wind was blowing against it. She pulled her small arms in front of her; a small ki ball was formed between her hands.
"Flame of a dragon…"
She suddenly opened her eyes. "IGNITE!!" Her arms then flew up, and the ki ball started to multiply, and swiftly moving towards each warrior, blasting them to thin air. The explosion was massive and Bulma started to descend.
Piccolo shielded his head as smoke filled all around him. When the smoke faded, he looked ahead and saw that all the warriors were gone, only Bulma left standing.
"I never knew that you could handle that move so well, princess," he praised his student.
Bulma beamed. "Thank you, sensai!! It's a very power move, I like it!"
"I'm very impressed. Do you want to spar now?" Piccolo asked.
Bulma nodded happily. "Alright, sure! But I just wanted to ask what the Saiyans from Vejitasei are like. Are they just like us?"
Piccolo shook his head. "No, they are different. They are very cruel."
Bulma started to raise her eyebrows. "How come?"
Piccolo smirked. "You'll see when you meet them."
**Present**
"So how did I end up meeting Vegeta?" Bulma asked.
Piccolo's lips turned into a small smile. "That's the interesting part…"
**Past**
Little Bulma smiled sweetly at the young prince who stood in front of her. She started to frown as the prince scowled at her in return. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he muttered.
Bulma shrugged. "I don't know. I thought that maybe we could play some magic together because I'm bored and I don't think our parents want us to annoy them."
Chibi Vegeta crossed his arms and started to smirk. "Magic? I don't do magic. But I'll spar if you're up to it."
Bulma's eyes lit up. "Okay, sure! We'll spar then."
**Present**
"We sparred when we first met?" Bulma questioned.
Piccolo nodded. "I was watching from a distance. It was quite interesting. Both of you seemed to be amazed by each other's abilities."
**Past**
"Can I use my magic too?" Bulma asked her small opponent.
Vegeta shrugged. "Whatever. But I'll warn you now that your magic will be nothing compared to my strength."
Bulma nodded and smiled. "Okay then, we'll see."
Vegeta then started to charge at her and she stepped to the side, avoiding a hit. He then started to throw many kicks and punches and she managed to dodge all of them. He suddenly faded and reappeared behind her, kicking her and throwing her onto the floor. Bulma crashed and made quite a large dent on the ground. He landed in front of her and smirked. "Had enough yet?"
Bulma started to stand up and dusted herself. "Nope, I'm just getting ready. Just watch." She then started to concentrate and her body and pendant started to glow blue. Vegeta charged forward and tried to attack her but was surprised as a force pushed him back. He looked at her and was puzzled. It was as if she had some sort of energy force field.
Bulma started to float upwards and hovered over to Vegeta. She started to put her hands on her hips. "Well, fight me!"
Vegeta gritted his teeth and stormed at her, powering up so he would be able to get through the force field. Before he managed to do that, she started to chant and the sky above her all of a sudden darkened and black clouds could be seen. Vegeta looked up. "What the…" he thought but then suddenly there was thunder and lightning started to struck all around him. Vegeta's eyes widened as he levitated in the air. He had never in his life fought with anyone who used magic. He decided to try his best to ignore it and not be amazed. He let out a ki ray with his hands and she let out a beam that was blue and it was surrounded with electricity. Together, the two beams clashed and eventually, both of them were thrown back onto the floor.
Vegeta suddenly got up and realised that Bulma was still lying on the floor. "Little girl!" he called out as he ran towards her, pulling her up. Bulma looked up at him and started to stand up. "Don't worry, I'm fine. But I don't think it's a good idea to spar here. I'm not meant to and if my mother found out she will be very angry at me."
Vegeta leaned back and crossed his arms. "Whatever, little girl. Let's go inside." He grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the castle.
**Present**
"So me and Vegeta seemed to get along pretty well?"
Piccolo nodded. "You two were very mischievous. You snuck out during the banquet and it took me two days to find both of you. I have no idea what you two did but when I found you, you were both in a very dangerous place where there were large volcanoes. I saw you two falling into a rocky ground and both of you were unconscious."
Bulma's eyes started to widen. "And what exactly happened after that?"
Piccolo stared into her eyes. "You had amnesia. When you woke up, you couldn't remember a thing, and your mother decided for it to stay that way."
**Past**
"There's something that you might want to know,"
Soraya looked up and started to become worried. "Is my daughter going to be alright?"
The clairvoyant doctor nodded. "Of course, princess. But unfortunately she might suffer from a little amnesia. But this isn't the thing that I'm concerned about. When I tried to see what was wrong with her, I had to overlook her mind. And I saw a little glimpse of the future."
"And what did you see?"
"It seems that your daughter and the prince of Vejitasei will fall in love. And then she will suffer a horrible pain because he is destined to be killed while battling Frieza."
Soraya stood up and looked shocked. "My daughter… with the prince of Vejitasei? How can this happen? Would it be possible to change this future?"
The clairvoyant bit her bottom lip. "Well, I'm not really sure. But it might be possible if you do not allow her to see the prince."
Soraya nodded. "I understand…"
Suddenly, Piccolo walked through the door and bowed. "Princess Soraya, your daughter is finally awake."
Soraya nodded and quickly walked into a room. She saw Bulma happily sitting on her bed. "Hi mother! What happened? What am I doing on this bed? I should be training with Piccolo! You said something about a banquet this morning."
Piccolo started to raise his eyes. "That was last week."
Soraya suddenly rushed towards her daughter. "Bulma sweetheart, you had a little fall and have been unconscious for some time. Don't worry, those bad Saiyans from Vejitasei has left already. You don't have to worry about it."
**Present**
"What?! My mother lied to me? But why?" Bulma demanded.
"Don't be angry, she was only trying to protect you."
Bulma slowly nodded. "I understand. So I guess the same thing happened to Vegeta."
"I think you should get some rest now and stop grieving. Remember, even if your body would not survive this curse, your soul will always be alive." After saying that, Piccolo bowed and started to walk out of the room. Bulma stared at him as he disappeared, her mind still trying to take in what he told her that night. She then started to sigh and walked away from the balcony. What did he mean by what he said just then? she asked herself.
AN: So what exactly is happening to the planet and what is Bulma going to do about it?
I just love rhetorical questions ^_^ So please tell me what you think. You can plainly write "it sucks" and I'll get the picture. Please review! I really need some feedback.
