Chapter 2
The Black Flame
Year: 2032
Place: Capsule Corp.
So there she was bored out of her mind. Bulma had been staring at the ceiling for a half an hour trying to find her report written in the tiles. 'One of these days she would have to invent a cerebral link into her computer so she could write her report in the blink of an eye.' She sat up right.
"That's not a bad idea." She thought aloud searching her desk for a paper and pencil. She picked up her faithful ballpoint only to find no paper. She search frantically for a piece of paper on her crowed desk only to find zip. Finally she gave up and wrote it on her hand. Apparently she forgot about her computer.
'Stupid computer. The sooner I build this thing the sooner I can through you out the window.' But thinking about the computer only brought up her report. The one she had yet to finish. She had been doing loads of research on ki to find nothing but myths and fairy tails. Most of which were about a scary flame haired man that became something close to a vampire only he could shoot powerful energy blasts out of his hands. The last report of him was 400 years ago in Vatican when he was said to go for a challenge.
"DANICA!" Bulma growled into her intercom.
"Yes?" Answered the worried secretary.
"Do me a favor and go down to the East City Library and pick up some more Black Flame books would you?" Bulma asked.
"Yes Ms. Briefs right away."
Bulma had just gotten the new secretary and was fast loosing patience with her. Whenever Bulma looked out her door she had her noise stuck in a book or talking to her friend 'Noonstar14' on the Internet. If it hadn't been for those big rimmed glasses she always wore, she wouldn't have lasted a week.
Well nothing to be done now and she did know her way around a library. For nearly a year now Bulma had been working on a why for her to increase one's ki strength. She had run test after test on her friend Goku with no conclusions. She was running out of tests to run needles. For the life of her she couldn't see why the most powerful person on the planet was afraid of a piece of thin metal.
"Ms. Briefs there's a gentleman here to see you." Said Danica from the doorway.
"Danica I thought I told you to." She trailed off as her eyes locked on the other figure in the doorway. He walked with an air of confidence unlike any other. His jet-black hairs shooting strait up looking remarkably like a flame. But what really got her were his ebony pools for eyes. Even from a distance she could feel his powerful gaze travel up and down her body.
Even now three words came to her racing mind; The Black Flame.
