The days grew longer and longer, days turned to burning hell's with no relief in sight. And in that tremendous heat this part of the epic story begins. In the Brief castle in the faraway planet of Earth.
-Finally peace in this forsaken world-
:Eyes run over the blackened ash world:
-I leave that place to come to this disturbing place-
:Bends down to feel the smoked ground:
-No place of peace and quiet in this life-
:Lets the black soot fall from between his fingers:
-Death and destruction just follows me-
:Hits hands together making a cloud of dust:
-Yet this feels very much connected to me-
:Dust cloud circles body and clouds the view:
-Strange powers at work here to destroy-
:Cloud becomes darker and denser:
-Yet changed this power is one of old-
:Cloud constricts throat and waters eyes:
-Something evil and new has come to meet me-
:Throat won't open Eyes won't open Heart won't open:
-This thing takes three aspects to kill me-
:Dust disappears yet body won't work:
-All working together to stop me from my goal-
:Body fights Mind fights Soul fights:
-Can't help myself when they do come-
:Warm Cold air blows around body:
-But still there's is always hope and help-
:Air blows around and around the unmoving body:
-One that comes not from me but from another-
:Eyes ease open Throat calms Heart still frozen in steel:
-Help comes but I refuse it to come to one area-
:Wind pushes and gushes around Heart:
-I still deny it to help as it tries helplessly at it-
:Wind blows itself out and disappears:
-It may leave or I can change-
:Body's okay but still something's still broken:
-I can't move I can't feel I just can't open-
:Pain comes back of another sort:
-I can't won't don't want to fight it anymore-
:Body crumbles Mind breaks Soul flies away:
The room failed to show any difference it had from the owner. Pillows were everywhere and some even torn apart, its contents strewn around. His thin blanket lay in shreds around the curled position of Vegeta. Anything made of glass lay shattered the pieces in clumps around the floor.
But Vegeta kept on lying there in a curled position contemplating this dream. When he came to this planet he had almost the same dreams but hey came in confusing little pieces from night to night. It never came with such color and feeling and strength it did today. His dream, first time in fullness and length, was vivid and powerful enough to render him useless for quite a while.
His body lay there and his eyes were glued to his broken window and past to the dark sky. It wasn't till he saw the bright sun peak through the broken glass of his window before he sat up. He seemed calm and ready jus staring blankly at the wall. Yet his mind and spirit were waging wars in him.
Vegeta felt shaken and broken from just this dream. So he waited till his sensitive hearing brought his noise of awakening and business, before he chose to act. Then he simply got up and changed his clothes to something more pleasurable to see. Then he walked out of his broken room and finished his day his old cocky way.
And he would plainly tell the king's attendants that his room needed some redecoration. And this continued for a couple of days, which soon ended to be weeks. So after the second week of denial and pain Bulma got up the courage to speak out when no one else would approach the dark person.
She came to him during an especially hot summer day when all was dead and burned. She found him sitting underneath one of the oaks in the old orchard. She came bounding up to him hoping that her happy mood would get through to him.
"Vegeta!" she screamed out to his breaking his restful sleep. Still groggy from the night before he thought *This is going to kill me*. He scratched his head and waited for the screaming banshee (Many thanks to Princess Panchi for that one) to come closer. He wearily closed his eyes receiving seconds of precious peace and quiet before; again her cry came out piercing through his mind.
"Woman, will quit that insistent screaming, I hear you," Vegeta called out to the running figure. Abashed she slowed her pace and waved hi to the scowling face. "How you doing Veggie head." Slightly confused he lowered his voice to mask it and said, "And since when do you call me that?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Bulma answered daring herself not to look at his eyes. "I was just in one of the higher levels when I saw you out here in the heat all alone." Still confused he said, "I've always been alone with my goings and leavings and yet before no one cared unless I came close." "Now don't be going off like that, off course I ... We care about you."
"Changing the subject she quickly said, "Anyways, I just thought you'd like my company," Adding carefully, "After what's been happening these last few weeks. Giving off an uncontrolled growl, Vegeta dismissed her thought and company, "Just leave okay, my problems are my own."
"Aren't you supposed to be with the loser off somewhere?" Vegeta growled his eyes shrinking in a glare. Feeling nervous she hastily said, "Well father has not been back from his trip and I am grounded to the castle and it's premises, taking no calls but those of business. And today I finally had the chance to leave to do my own biding for the time bieng."
"So why don't you go and spend this precious time and go somewhere else and leave me alone." Vegeta mumbled. Bulma frowned and crossed her arms as if to say she wasn't leaving.
Feeling it to be a loosing battle she hurried and switched to plan B. "But since I came out here to get some oranges I decided to just eat out today. You wanna join me?" Vegeta about to say something felt his stomach tighten and growl. When they both realized that they were both staring dumbfounded at his stomach Bulma laughed out loud and Vegeta gave off his signature smirk.
"I guess were both hungry," Bulma said busying herself with the picnic basket she had brought along, "Good thing I brought enough to feed an army." Cocking an eyebrow at the tiny basket she had brought he reached inside and pulled out a tiny little box. 'What the hell." he said quietly to himself as he ripped the box in shreds and small little pellets flew everywhere. "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" he yelled out as he reached down to examine one of the pellets.
Laughing quietly she scratched the back of her head Goku style. "I guess on your planet they don't serve these capsules." she said and watched as Vegeta tried to chew one of the bright yellow capsules. "'These things are hard as he...." but stopped when she mentioned his planet. "I already told you woman that I have no more relation to that damned planet and I don't want to speak about it." His features darkening.
*I'm gonna figure why sooner or later Vegeta and see what the monkey's hiding.* she thought to herself giving no heed to the angry Saiyan. "I would have thought even you could figure it out by now." She muttered seeing the frustrated Saiyan try to smash it apart with a sharp rock.
"These damn things are useless!!" he exclaimed out loud, throwing the piece away disgustedly. "Aye." was all she could come up with as she searched around for the bottle that was in the basket. Taking a teacher's tone she said, "See this, we'll a couple years back our alchemist lab back at our old castle found a mixture that when applied in small amounts would change the form to a solid and broken state, like powder. We'll after much more funding and time he found another powder that conversed his old liquid combination, so that when added could return it to the form true." Sweeping her hands around as if to implement the large castle and surroundings, "Soon we were in much demand and received many orders, getting rich."
Still perplexed Vegeta plucked the clear bottle from her hands and shook the contents vigorously. "I still don't see how the stupid dust works." Shaking her head Bulma took the bottle from his hands and broke open the seal, "After a while the system grew more sophisticated and bug proof." Taking a small amount between her forefinger and thumb she brought it above the yellow capsule and released the powder, "This is what happens to it."
When the powder touched the pellets outside it became absorbed into the main shell and disappeared. "You have lost your mind woman, nothings happening...." Broken of by his amazement when he saw the capsule break apart suddenly set loose a small yellow dust cloud. When the dust finally dissipated it revealed a tall glass with some sort of yellow liquid and a little umbrella with ice.
Bulma picked it up and took a huge swig at it. "Taste this its pretty good." she said handing him the cold glass. Taking a test sip he found it good and started to drink it in huge gulps. All the while watching Bulma grab several colored boxes from her basket and carefully chose certain colored pellets from each box. When she finished with her gathering she packed the rest back into the small basket and carefully arranged them. When she had put everything in small areas wide apart from each other she stepped back and motioned for him to do the same.
When they both had taken enough space away she grabbed a handful of dust and threw it around the entire area. The whole place suddenly disappeared in a haze of crazy colors and dust clouds. After a heavenly breeze that took the slightly disturbing cloud away it shocked Vegeta on how much had changed. Instead of a bunch of capsules lined up on the grass there lay a purple and yellow blanket that had the most delicious looking food neatly arranged along with utensils and plates to accompany it.
After a warm lunch and cold dessert Vegeta lay back and witnessed what had happened. Bulma grew more and more astonished as she had to open more and more boxes to fill his appetite. *The best part of it, is that there's is nothing to clean* he thought happily as he saw Bulma just simply take out a brush for the same basket and a little silver container that had golden cream in it and started to brush the remaining dishes. Soon they had shrank and turned to gray speckled capsules that were put in the basket for later cleaning.
"I thought I had brought enough for an army but instead ended up with only for us!!" she exclaimed astonished. "It was a good lunch despite its owner." Vegeta remarked. Bulma's jaw dropped her voice going higher and higher an octave as she yelled out, "Why you ungrateful little bastard, for all i did this is how you thank me!" Vegeta took much pleasure when he saw her face turn a bright purple. "Just kidding, it was a good lunch." he replied leaning against the tree.
Sitting cross-legged Bulma decided to ask her question one more time. Talking slowly and cautiously she said, "So, you never did tell us why you were sent here." At that moment Vegeta just snapped and yelled out, "Will you fucking leave that question and maybe even the whole issue including anything I do or want to do alone!!" Seething with anger he yelled out louder, "All I wanted to do was want some peace and quiet without any one trying to go in my business."
Bulma flared up as she heard him speak, "How dare you even think that I would do that Okay. The only goddamn reason I wanted to know is because I just wanted to help you in you business. Okay." She stood up and furiously walked up to him and peered downwards, "The only fucking reason I wanted to do that is because I have a good heart, unlike someone. I just wanted to see you happy. Okay."
Feeling her anger slip away she knew the tears would follow later. Turning around she ran off leaving the Saiyan alone to his wishes. Not bothering to see where she was going or what she was hitting she made her 100 yard dash to her room. Slamming her door and daring anyone to just come in and feel her wrath and emotions.
A couple more hours passed when she recieved a knock at her door. "I don't want company right now." She yelled out from her bed. "But ma'am I have you basket along with a note from that Saiyan man." Jumping from her bed she raced to the door, took the basket from the messenger, and slammed it in his face. Taking the note it read.
