Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ. So don't sue!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bulma paced around her room feeling completely sick. The tournament was less than two hours away and she was a wreck. She had become much stronger, but she wasn't sure if she was strong enough to beat her opponent. *I'm gonna be turned into minced meat! She's going to crush me like a bug..* She started feeling sick at the thought.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Come in!" She called out, still pacing the floor of her bedroom.
Jenna entered the room, carrying Bulma's clothes. "Bulma, Prince Vegeta has sent these clothes for you."
Bulma frowned and looked at the feminine Saiya-jin armour. "Thank you."
"And, he said that you are to meet him and King Vegeta in the throne room in half an hour. It seems that they want to introduce you to your opponent."
She stared wide-eyed at her friend, "Thanks," she mumbled.
Jenna nodded and left the room, she understood that this was a big day for Bulma and that she was nervous, which was understandable.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bulma took her time dressing in the royal blue armour. It was like a body suit, only with shorts. She looked at her self in the mirror and rolled her eyes, *These Saiya-jins can be such hentai's sometimes!* She sighed reaching for a head band to tie her hair back.
She felt butterflies in her stomach, she had to get to the throne room!
She ran out of her room and down the hallway, running down the large flight of stairs. She smirked secretly. The good thing about training with Vegeta, was that it actually paid off! Now she could run to her hearts content, without becoming winded.
She almost ran straight into the closed door of the throne room, blushing she stopped herself just in time, before she made a fool out of herself.
Vegeta's head snapped up as he found Bulma burst through the doors of the throne room, *You're late onna* He growled into her mind, he enjoyed making her angry at the worst possible moments.
Bulma looked at him blankly and put up her mental wall. She was determined for it to stay that way the whole day!
Vegeta frowned but ignored the fact that Bulma had brushed him off, *Baka*
King Vegeta smiled secretly as he saw Bulma burst through the doors, *This is going to be interesting!* "Bulma, so glad of you to join us!"
"Sorry, King V-I mean-Vegeta"
King Vegeta cleared his throat, "Bulma, it's time to meet and greet your opponent. She will be challenging you on the three areas of the tournament."
Bulma was determined not to be afraid anymore, "Ok, where is she?" *Bring out the lil bee-atch. It's time to kick some monkey butt! I've trained too hard to lose THIS fight!* She let this thought slip.
Vegeta choked back snigger as he heard this thought. This was going to be very interesting!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
King Vegeta called out for a servant to bring Bulma's opponent.
Bulma's eyes widened as she saw a tall figure step into the throne room, *Kuso..*
King Vegeta took the female Saiya-jins hand and brought her up to Bulma, "Bulma, this is Letice (A/N: Get it, lettuce? LOL). Letice, this is Bulma Briefs."
Letice looked at her opponent, *So this scrawny little human has mated with the Prince. How very interesting.. Never mind, she won't be around for very long.* She bowed her head slightly in respect, "Pleasure."
Bulma nodded back, "Yeah," she managed to squeak out. She looked at the female Saiya-jin in awe. She was tall and slender, yet muscular. Her jet black hair framed her face, coming down in waves. Her tail whipped behind her in an amused fashion, but her eyes.. Her eyes seemed cold and dense. A black void of nothing. A void of no emotions, just empty and cruel. Bulma had never seen a woman so beautiful, yet so frightening.
Letice smiled evilly, "Not much of a vocabulary I see. Are you sure you're a renound genius?"
Bulma snapped out her trance, "Of course I am! Let's just get this over with ok?" She turned to King Vegeta, "Shall we go to the stadium now?"
King Vegeta nodded and motioned for his son to take Bulma's arm.
Just as Vegeta was about to take Bulma's arm, Letice stepped in front of her taking Vegeta's arm. Vegeta raised his eyebrow at Bulma, who seemed like she had steam coming out of her ears.
Bulma cleared her throat, "Excuse your RUDENESS!!" She huffed and reached for King Vegeta's arm instead, who was thoroughly surprised by this. She smiled at him slightly, *Better stay on the good side of the In-Law hehe. I have better tactics!* She stuck her tongue out at Letice's back.
Letice turned around calmly, "Don't think you'll win, human." She sneered in disgust as she said this.
"I have every intention of winning." Bulma growled back.
King Vegeta intervened, "Now, now ladies. Save it for the stadium."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The stadium was in walking distance of the palace. This was the first time Bulma had been outside of the palace walls, she was amazed at the vibrant culture she saw.
The group of four were surrounded by guards for their protection. Even if they didn't need it. Bulma walked arm in arm with King Vegeta, while Letice and Vegeta walked ahead.
She absorbed her surroundings like a book. They walked through the town centre, which had market stalls set up, ranging from games and clothes, to food! She sniffed the air and was surprised to find traces of tangy spices wafting in the breeze.
Nearly every Saiya-jin had stopped to stare at the quartet, making their way down to the national stadium. Only the elite had been allowed to attend. Commoners were prohibited, so they merely watched as the four disappeared into the large doors of the stadium.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Vegeta hated crowds, even if they were his race, he still wasn't comfortable around other people. He also didn't like the fact that Letice was clinging onto him like a bad odor, even Bulma understood where to draw the line. It was safe to say he was glad that Bulma was his mate, even though he refused to show it to anyone, particularly her!
Letice frowned, she had tried her best to get Prince Vegeta to like her. It seemed as though she was failing. *He's been blinded by that little human witch! This is just not acceptable, I refuse to lose!*
King Vegeta smiled in amusement at the angry frown on Bulma's face as she watched Letice drool over his son. He leaned down slightly and whispered into her ear, "Come now Bulma, save your anger for the tournament."
Bulma sighed and let the angry expression on her face fade. She whispered back, "Your right I suppose. Would you be terribly upset if I beat her to a bloody pulp?" She asked in a menacing tone.
King Vegeta was shocked, he had never seen Bulma act this way before. maybe there was hope after all! He chuckled, "Be my guest Bulma, be my guest!"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The quartet walked into the centre of the stadium. Bulma's mouth hung open in shock. The stadium was like the Colleseum in Rome! It was huge and round, with thousands of seats. All of which were full with elite in high class Saiya-jins.
The crowd cheered as they saw their King and Prince step into the centre of the stadium.
King Vegeta let Bulma step aside, as he walked up onto the large round podium. He raised his hands to silence the buzzing crowd.
As soon as the noise quitened down, his voice boomed out loudly throughout the stadium. "Fellow Saiya-jins. It is an honor to stand here as your King on this exciting day!" The crowd murmmered in agreement. He waited for them quieten again, "As you all know, my son has chosen a mate. Today is judgement day. You will see for yourself, whether or not this female is worthy enough to be your Queen in one month's time. There are three rounds. Intelligence. Stamina. Strength. This shall be a very interesting tournament. Let the games begin!" He roared to the now cheering crowd.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bulma felt her stomch do flip-flops as King Vegeta announced the starting of the games. She had no clue whatsoever to expect in the intelligence and stamina round, it was safe to say she felt like puking. She looked over at Letice who was still drooling over Vegeta, but still managed to give her an evil smirk. Bulma smirked back, in a not so friendly way. *You're ass is mine you piece of Saiya-jin female scum!* She watched as Vegeta and his father sat in the royal box, eager for the games to commence.
She gulped back her fear, and walked onto the podium to her first task.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Letice smirked, she could tell that the human was afraid. This gave her an overwhelming sense of power. She was going to enjoy beating the weakling human senseless in the third round! She walked confidently to her first challenge.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
