HellRaiser: I am SOOOOOOOO sorry I couldn't get this chapter out sooner. I had this four hundred word essay about "Do movies accurately portray historical events?" that counted for a major grade in Social Studies and was my writing grade for English. AND I had to get read for a debate during the last week of school. AND it was my sister's graduation, which we were throwing a barbeque for. I had to cook and clean EVERYTHING. My mom even had me on my hands and knees with a tooth brush! AND the day after my sister's graduation was my birthday which no one remember because of my sister's graduation. I got diddly squat for my b-day AND it rained AND I was sick. AND I spent this whole week helping my lazy sister help look for a job. So you'd better enjoy this chapter and I had better get a lot of reviews!!!!!! (by the way my b-day is June 15 just in case ya'll wanna give me a belated present-hint hint)
Chapter 5
Vegeta calmed down a little, Bulma pulled her hand off his mouth. "Listen I have a plan."
Vegeta crossed his arms. "Why do you think I want to hear it?"
"I thought the fact that you might DIE would concern you but I guess not. Sorry to bother you, I'll just go back to my rooms an-"
"What do you mean I might die?"
"Oh so now you want to hear what I have to say. Frieza is entering the tournament, I know you are strong and will probably go to the semi finals and will probably have to go up against him. And I don't think he'll want to win by knock out."
"So what is this plan?"
"I invented this gravity machine you can train in, it will increase your strength drastically. If you train in it everyday until the tournament, you may be able to defeat Frieza. Once you beat him, if you beat me, we'll be mated. But it won't be so bad, if you don't like the idea you can **** every girl on this planet if you wish, I don't care. As long as I'm mated my parents will keep off my back. Is it a deal?"
Vegeta thought it over. He did want to become stronger, kill Frieza and be mated to Bulma. Why was he even thinking this over in the first place? "Deal."
"Good, meet me in the garden at eight." Bulma spun on her heels, leaving Vegeta in the dark hallway.
He stood there, thinking about what had just happened. The plan may not work. He might not be able to defeat Frieza, he could die. But did that really matter? He would die anyway, so might as well go down with a fight. Bulma would be his if he won. Vegeta scowled remembering what she said.
"..if you don't like the idea you can **** every girl on this planet if you wish, I don't care. As long as I'm mated my parents will keep off my back."
It sounded as the only reason she wanted to be mated to him was because she didn't want to be mated to Frieza. She would be his mate but he would never have her fully. He could get stuck in a one-sided bond. Vegeta shook his head and decided to think about this later. He turned and walked to his rooms.
The dark figure behind the corner slipped away. He had heard everything and knew who would want to know exactly what they had planned.

Bulma pulled her hair up in a bun and inspected herself in the mirror. She had on her toughest armor and the necklace Vegeta had given her. She never took it off. The reason she didn't quite know herself. It seemed to please him when she wore it, and that made her happy.
Wait a minute, rewind. Why did she care if he was pleased or not? This was an arrangement, it wasn't like she actually had feelings for him. Definitely not. He was an egotistical know-it-all ***hole (HEY Vegeta is NOT a know-it-all!!...well.) she detested him. He was below her standards but he was really close. Dangerously close.
She put her book back under her bed. It was pretty good so far. Rose had become a war hero and now the king was trying to arrange a wedding with a noblewoman. Bulma chuckled. 'That is gonna be tough trying to get out of that one.' She straightened her necklace before walking out the door.
After a quick nod to the guards, Bulma walked through the large doors that led to the gardens. She had never really spent a lot of time in the royal gardens, she had never seen the point. A flower never made you stronger, a tree never made you smarter. It was a giant waste of time to go walking through it. But on some nights when it was too hot to sleep, she would sit out on her balcony and gaze at it. Otherwise she just ignored it.
Bulma took a deep breath while she walked. The air outside always smelled better than the stuffy air inside the palace. She walked a long way, until she came to a clearing in the middle of some trees, a place she knew no one could see them from.
Vegeta was already standing there, his tail swooshing impatiently. "You're late."
"You're early."
"Whatever."
Bulma rolled her eyes and pulled something out of the top of her boot. "This is a capsule. I invented it a few years ago."
"I thought your dad invented it."
"Please, the only thing that man invented was a way to pet a cat and eat at the same time. He always takes credit for my work. I swear that man is almost as spacey as my mother. Anyway, this capsule holds the gravity chamber. From the outside it looks like a regular training room so that it won't make anyone suspicious. Inside the control panel is hidden in the wall, so that anyone looking through the window won't see it." She threw the capsule. There was a loud BOOM, when the smoke cleared there stood a training room. Nothing special. Vegeta was still slightly skeptical and Bulma could tell. The princess shook her head and opened the door. She walked straight to the wall. "With your excellent vision you'll be able to see the controls. The tiles on this wall are slightly different than on the other walls. They're arranged strangely. If you look closely you can see they spell words. You may not be able to read them, they're in Taimersan."
Vegeta snorted. "I can read it perfectly fine."
"Well mister know it all, let's see if you can take five times Taimersa's gravity." She punched some tiles and he instantly felt the pressure. It was almost unbearable, it felt as if there were tons and tons of bricks being dumped on him. Bulma stood up straight with out trying. "I don't want anyone to become suspicious so I will leave you to your training, but I will return to spar you with you. No one else on this planet can give me a challenge." She turned and left.
Vegeta started his warm ups.

Radditz passed by the same tapestry for the fifth time. He hated to admit it but he was lost. 'They should have a directory in this place. It's like a mother****ing labyrinth.' He turned a corner and slammed into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going." The raven haired girl stood up and brushed off her armor.
"You're the one who ran into me."
"No I didn't. Look I don't have time to argue with you, I have places I need to be." She spun on her heel to leave.
"Wait.I don't really don't know where I'm going."
"Ask one of the guards for directions and if they don't know kill them." She flew down the hall.
Chichi landed outside the Royal Guard training room, panting. 18 was standing there tapping her foot impatiently. "You know if you had shown up a few seconds later I would be forced to kick your ***."
"It's not my fault, some dumb bastard didn't know where he was going." She pushed the door open.
"Did he check the directory?"
"The little dumb*** probably didn't." Chichi walked in and waved to the two sayians in the back. "Hey Goku, hey Krillin."
Krillin waved and whispered out the side of his mouth. "Why does she call you Goku?"
"It's my new nickname, do you like it?"
"Anything would be better than Kakarrot." He muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
18 stood next to Krillin. "Hey, ready for a butt whooping?"
"You really need to stop talking to yourself, I'm starting to worry for your sanity."
Everyone looked up as someone walked into the room. Chichi leaned over and whispered behind her hand. "That's the dumb*** that bumped into me."
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my baby brother."
Kakarrot growled. "Radditz."
"Just had to come here to keep my title."
When they were really small, Radditz and Kakarrot had been on a lot of practice purging missions. The young sayians made a game out of beating the **** out of each other on different planets. So far it was 3 to 6, Kakarrot had only beaten Radditz three times. The little competition turned very serious for the two brothers.
Kakarrot's eyes narrowed and his tail whooshed back and forth in irritation. The only reason his brother had confronted him about their game in front of so many people was to embarrass him. "More like lose it."
Radditz raised an eyebrow. "So you learned some comebacks during your stay on Taimersa."
Chichi frowned. "What are you two talking about?"
Radditz looked her up and down. "I did not know that you were a Royal Guard."
"You did not know because I did not find it necessary to inform you, a complete stranger, of my personal business."
"Feisty one isn't she, brother."
"Leave her alone."
"What is she your woman?"
"I am nobody's woman!"
"Is that so?"
"Why would I say that if I was you half wit!"
"Don't aggravate me!"
"Don't tell me what to do!"
Radditz's eye twitched. "You do not want to make me mad."
"Oh I'm *so* scared."
"I could crush you with no effort."
"Care to prove it."
"I do not hit women."
"Oh I insist."
"Well in that case." He lunged at her. Chichi tilted her head from side to side easily dodging his punches. She punched him in the stomach sending him flying across the room.
Radditz blasted out of the rubble and lunged for her again, he disappeared and reappeared behind her. He elbowed her sending her crashed into the ground. She rolled over just in time to dodge his knee. A small crater formed under him. He powered up two ki balls formed in his hands. Radditz fired at her. Chichi did several back flips dodging all his attacks. She kicked him in the stomach sending him flying toward the ceiling, she elbowed him in the back, and right before he crashed in the ground she punched him in the stomach. Chichi pummeled him in the face, boring a hole in the ground. She flew up to the ceiling and shot numerous ki blasts at him.
She landed next to him. "I'm ready to spar if you're ready to stop playing games."
Radditz smirked. "So you knew I was holding back."
"It seems that way doesn't it?"
"Alright, no more games." He powered up. Pieces of the floor started floating and an eerie wind blew around the room. Some of the bystanding ( copywriting that too) guards glanced at each other warily. Chichi powered up. A violet aurora surrounded her. The room began to shake. A guard looked at the ceiling, praying to every deity that it wouldn't collapse. Radditz's smirk grew right before he disappeared. She looked around waiting for him to reappear again. Out of thin air, a ki blast shot her in the stomach. Another hit her in the back, burning a hole threw her armor. She couldn't locate his energy. If felt as if he was everywhere. Another ki blast hit her in her right leg burning the spandex.
Chichi put her hands together. "TORNADO OF THE ENTERNAL FLAME!!!" A spiral of fire rose from the ground and shot to the unstable ceiling. It surrounded her for a few seconds before rapidly expanding.
When the fiery walls struck him, Radditz appeared out of nowhere. Where the searing flames touched his armor was holes and scorch marks on his spandex. He licked his fingers and put out a small flame on the tip of one of his long spikes. He closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath. A bright blue light swirled around his arms and spiraled toward Chichi. She moved quickly, barely dodging the blast. The attack melted the entire left shoulder of her armor.
Radditz closed his eyes as he readied himself for another attack. His eyes opened when he felt a sweltering heat behind him. The walls of the column of fire where closing in on him. He looked around for some type of escape. He disappeared again. It was a technique that was much simpler that it looked. He was only running so fast that he seemed to disappear. The sayian closed his eyes a second time, hoping this would work. Radditz ran straight threw the flames.
He was moving so fast that the wind he created smothered the flames that tried to burn him. Radditz checked for any stray flames. Chichi looked at him curiously. She had never seen anyone do that before. She would have to strengthen her technique.
Radditz looked behind her warily. The walls were closing in again. He didn't know how long he could keep this up. Chichi turned around, facing the wall and closed her eyes. She started to hover off of the ground. The flames raised off of the ground until it was just a ring in the air with Chichi in the middle. The flames swirled around her disappearing into her skin. Her eyes snapped open and she blew some smoke out the side of her mouth.
Slowly she descended to the ground. "Releasing the attack is easy, absorbing it is murder."
Kakkarot walked over to his brother. "What kind of attack was that? I've never seen that one before."
Radditz smirked. "It's a condensed Kamahamaha."
"Condensed?"
"I invented it. I decided that the original one took way too long to power up for. This is the perfect attack."
"If you say so."
"I'll fix it so that you will be positive of such."
"Save it for another time. You know what father said."
He scowled. "Of course I remember you half wit! What father doesn't know won't hurt him."
"He always finds out."
"Coward."
"***hole."
"Do you want to start the games back up or not?"
"Let the games begin."

Bulma walked through the forest. Not really enjoying the scenery but the quiet that came with it. Ever since her father mentioned the tournament, her life had been thrown into silent chaos. Well maybe not silent.
She really didn't feel like going to the Royal training rooms. Now that Vegeta wasn't in there it was a complete waste of time. No one in there was worth her presence, let alone time.
Bulma sighed knowing that she had to go so that no one would become suspicious. She blasted into the sky. She was growing tired of this nature. As soon as she was done training she would ask Chichi whose idea it was to put a garden on her families land and order him to be killed. People with such idiotic ideas should be wiped off the face of the Taimersa.
She landed in front of the Royal Training room. Bulma cleared her head before walking in. There was not the usual group of blundering buffoons falling all over themselves with pathetic attempts to court her. Not that she wanted it, but something was not right here. They were all huddled in the center around someone.
Bulma walked over to them and shoved them out of the way. "What are you doing here sister?"
HellRaiser: Gasp! Bulma has a sister?!!! What? Why didn't HellRaiser mention her before? Well that would ruin the surprise silly!!! I should be a soap opera writer. Shout out to my Davis and Bethel peeps! Peace EZ
