Disclaimer: I own DBZ! Just kidding.
An Action Chapter! Blood, chaos, and toothpicks...well umm... Oh well. Okay, just for your info, this fic did not originally start out as a B/V fic, it might or might not. But since we know they were destined to be together, well, there has to be something going on right? :) Here
s the deal, I had to write this chapter twice. We had a power outage from 4am to 3pm and now my favorite computer is messing up. So this is kind of different than my original and probably not as good. Grrrr.... *goes SSJ* j/k. But I fixed the other PC and found it somehow saved my original, so I kinda cut and pasted parts I thought were good from the original chapter. So as you're reading, if you find some words misspelled or sentences in places that doesn't make sense, email me at Sundance300@hotmail.com. I was kinda mad and not quite coherent when I rewrote the second part, so I'd really appreciate it.
Chapter 13: Q & A's
It was late. Everyone was asleep, even the almighty Saiyan prince. The moon was full enough that the yard below Bulma's balcony was illuminated to seem like it was daytime. Dark silhouettes could be seen making their way across the compound's front yard. The lock was picked and all was going well for the would-be attackers until one of Bulma's and Nick's new and improved alarms picked up the dark visitors.
Vegeta was the first one down there, cussing out "the onna and her stupid pet dog" for the loud alarm. He scowled at the three werewolves standing in the doorway looking dazed and confused.
"You will pay for intruding in my domain." Vegeta smirked evilly and began to power up. He prepared to attack when another wolf slammed him from behind. Why couldn't he sense the damned things? They had to have ki right? They were alive, weren't they? He twisted from out of underneath the wolf, barely dodging the yellowed teeth snapping at his throat.
"You will regret doing that," Vegeta growled as he formed a chi ball in his hands. He heard a yelp and realized both Bulma and Nick must have been down here now.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Attack them!" Bulma was confused by what she saw. Vegeta was fighting four wolves and was struggling.
The white wolf lunged, taking Bulma by complete surprise. White pain shot through her shoulder, hot blood ran down her leg. The bitch had bitten her. Subconsciously, Bulma realized how true that statement was. But the rest of her mind was on the female in front of her. They circled each other, growling threats and baring sharp, yellowed teeth.
YELP! One of the opponent wolves was hurt, she didn't recognized it as one of her friends. She knew their sounds of pain from training with them. She smiled sadistically, or as close as a wolf could possibly do so.The other wolf looked over in surprise to see who was hurt. She lowered her head and eventually whole body down as she moved forward. To an observer it would have looked like she was crawling underneath the other canine. When she was half way under her she raised herself up, forcing the other she-wolf into the air, landing onto her back.
Before Bulma knew what she was doing, she had pounced onto the other wolf and clamped onto her throat. The other wolf tried to dislodge her, but her jaws tightened to put strangulating pressure on her windpipe. The wolf was proud; she had defeated the intruding alpha. Now, once again, she was the leader.
She sensed someone coming towards her. She growled in warning and put back her ears. No one was going to spoil her victory. A familiar voice began to talk to her in a smoothing tone. The voice invoked memories of...her childhood. It confused the wolf, she was remembering being a human. In the confusion of the wolf, Bulma slowly came out. She understood the words the person, Goku, spoke.
"Woah Bulma, it's me, Goku. Let me hold him and you go help Nick take down the other one." Goku walked forward slowly, talking softly to her. Realization of who this was slowly sunk in by the time Goku moved to grab the offending beast. She took her mouth off of her throat.
Goku motioned with his head towards the kitchen. "Nick needs help, two more wolves came in. We'll take care of these guys until you brought the down. I don't feel like getting bit. ChiChi would get so mad if I changed into a werewolf. She won't even let Gohan have a dog." Bulma smiled at Goku's explanation the best she could. She instantly stopped smiling when Goku's face fell and he started talking in a calming voice. Idiot, he thinks I'm going to attack him. She walked up to him and nuzzled him. He smiled. BANG!
"Better get in there." She ran in there and moaned when she saw the kitchen. The scene before her was worse than when she pummeled Nick for his comment on Vegeta and her being attracted...she'd make him pay for that. But now there was no island, and now there were two new additions to the kitchen. A nice big skylight and a walkway to the side lawn now replaced the ceiling and the far wall. She found the light black wolf cornered by a big grizzled wolf. She crept up to the wolf she deemed "Grizzly" and pounced on him. He yelped and ran off, Bulma held on for dear life. He ran into a pile of pots. Which had been inside the bottom drawer of the oven, where was the oven anyway? He continued to run, more in an attempt to dislodge her from his back than anything else. He ran into a chair, which was later used as toothpicks. Bulma dug her nails into his back in an attempt to stay on; he picked up a great deal of speed and ran right into the wall. Nick, who was now man-wolf, walked over and picked him up by the scruff of his neck.
"I'd advise you to tell my brother that he needs to leave us alone and that we won't be taken down easily. He alone," Nick pointed to Gohan. "Can destroy his whole army." Nick partially growled and partially spoke. The shaken wolf started to change into man-wolf, as did Bulma. I was easier to communicate this way.
"I came here on his orders…" He started.
"Monardo, you're an idiot. Your brother would have just punished you, now he will probably have to kill you to keep the Council happy. You should have came back with Pip. Where is the little twerp anyways?" Everyone turned to see the white she-wolf, which was haphazardly being held by Goku as she somehow pulled him into the room with her.
"Monardo? I thought your name was Nick!" Bulma demanded. Nick winced.
"My real name is Monardo Nicholas. I prefer my middle name to my first. So, I go by Nick." That seemed to satisfy Bulma for now.
"Why is he after the Infected?" Nick inquired.
"Something about the balls of a giant lizard that grants wishes and how they have the key to finding them."
The white wolf sighed, but said nothing.
"Hosta, tell me what he's planning." Nick said firmly but with a threatening edge to his voice. She looked up at the brother of her king.
"He's planning to take over Earth like every other crazed lunatic on this planet. Except he has the power to do it, especially if the legend of these balls are true." Several exasperated sighs were heard behind them.
"Take a number," Yamcha said sarcastically.
"You know how many people have attempted to do that? Piccolo and Vegeta were just two of them! Man, this is nuts." Krillian grumbled.
"Why doesn't he use other ways to wish for power? They'd be easier to get." Nick asked, getting slightly impatient.
"He did, but the wish couldn't be granted. Ever notice the moon was back? The granter wasn't powerful enough to give him Earth because some people on the planet were more powerful than he. I don't understand the whole thing, but that's what Lupine told me." Nick nodded.
"Let them go. Go tell your leader that we will stop him. He won't be getting the Dragonballs. Let them go! There's no sense in keeping them. No jail cell or cage can hold them." Everyone let the wolves go. The wolves high-tailed it out of there, not looking back. Boy, were they going to have a tale to tell!
Nick turned to the Z-Fighters.
"Do we have all of the Dragonballs here?" Bulma nodded. "We need to split them up, make them harder to find. I think each of us, especially the ones who live out in the middle of nowhere, need to take one. If my brother gets hold of them...I don't even want to think about it." Bulma threw her arms up in defeat.
"All Right! Fine! Split them up after we spent all that time getting them back together, be my guest.! Men!" She stalked off.
She headed towards her lab. The guys could do whatever they want. Speaking of guys, where was Vegeta. She needed to get into her newly built regeneration tank. Her arm and shoulder felt horrible, and if she got in now it would take less time to heal. Maybe the printouts would tell her why she wasn't healing as fast as she usually did. She opened the tank. She looked wearily around, to make sure no one was there, especially a certain Saiyan. Where was Vegeta anyway? The last she had seen of him was when she came down to see what was going on. Oh well, he could take care of himself. She slipped off her clothes and hooked herself up to the machine. She felt herself falling asleep as the aqua liquid filled the chamber.
Yes, the werewolves are named after flowering plants. It's in the tradition of DBZ to name groups after vegetables, plant products, and food.
Where is Vegeta? (Several Vegeta fans start to panic) Will Lupine find the people who hold the Dragonballs? Will the world end? What does Pilaf mean anyway?
Thanks Sarah for reviewing. Good luck on your stories, if you ever need me to type a story up for you I will, hey it'd save you time which you can better use on writing fanfic! :)
