Chapter 6
Imposter
"3 o'clock only one hour left," Bulma muttered to herself glaring at the asshole across from her then glancing down at the list she had made of the similarities between spiky boy and The Dark Flame:
They both can fly
They both can use ki attacks
They both have telekinetic powers
They both have dark tastes in clothing
They both have dark hair
They both have great bodies
Their both assholes
The last one was her favorite. "Alright next question," Bulma said tiredly, "The Dark Flame supposedly had two partners, a tall dark male and a blonde curvy female did you ever meet or hear about either of them?"
Vegeta was on the verge of rage. 'How dare she,' she knew more about The Dark Flame then was healthy; for both of them. She even had a list of all the people he had killed under that alias; he didn't even remember all those people's faces let alone their names. And now she was questioning him about Talana and Tobias. At all costs his relationships with them could not be discovered. The consequences would be endless if anyone found out that Talana was his sister or Tobias his best or only friend outside of Talana not to mention his sire.
"No," Vegeta said a slight more testily than he intended. "The Dark Flame was a very solitary creature, I rarely saw him outside of my lessons and I can't imagine him playing the club scene or anything like that."
"Oh," Bulma said he had no reason to lie but she felt like he was hiding something from her.
Suddenly they heard a huge commotion outside the door that sounded as if a couple elephants had decided to throw a party. Then a heavy bang hit the door and it collapsed inwards to reveal a handsome yet scarred man laying face down. He quickly turned over and began to back away as Danica began to advance on him with a malicious glint in her eye.
"Danica what the hell is going on," Bulma exclaimed jumping up from her desk.
"Oh," she said glancing up from her pursuit, "I'm sorry Bulma but this guy just waltzed in saying he was the Dark Retard or something and when I told him to get out he refused. And if he refuses again I'll shove him out a window or something.
"Wait," Bulma commanded. "What did you say your name is?" He jumped up, moved as far away from Danica as possible, then bowed deeply which was followed by a loud ripping noise coming from his tight leather pants.
"Um" he said standing up quickly a red flush spreading across his cheeks. Vegeta raised an eyebrow and Danica snickered evilly.
"Like the telitubbies do you?" She questioned smirking. He glared at her before scooping up his trench coat which had been lying on the floor and slipping it on then turning to Bulma. He gently took her hand and kissed it careful not to bow.
"Ow!" Bulma said grabbing her hand back. "You bit me!"
"I'm sorry Mademoiselle, but the feel of your blood racing below my lips was to much to resist. I am the Dark Flame, but call me Yamcha."
There was complete silence for several minutes before Danica broke the silence.
"Excuse me that loser is the Dark Flame? Yeah right and I'm the Goddess of the Internet."
"Danica you may be excused." Bulma said waving her hand.
"Wait a minute you actually believe this bastard!" Danica intoned disbelieving.
"I just want to hear his story." Danica shot a look at Vegeta who gave a short nod.
"Fine call me when you need me." Danica said turning and closing the door behind her.
"Well, this is quite a surprise," Bulma said cheerfully sinking back into her chair. "How did you know I was looking for you?"
"Well as you probably know I am very well known and I have a very intricate spy network." He stated arrogantly.
"Oh, is Vegeta part of it?
"Who?"
"Vegeta, don't you remember your old student?" She gestured to Vegeta who stood up and extended his hand to Yamcha.
"It's nice to see you again sensei you have changed so much since the last time I saw you." Vegeta said with a false smile. Vegeta was beyond furious he hadn't felt this pissed since the last time he had laid eyes on that blasted Zarborn. How dare he impersonate him, Talana or Tobias yes but only because they were trustworthy and he definitely did not trust this guys motives. This was one of the few times he wished for Talana's excellent mind control powers.
This con artist mind powers were stronger than the average humans were and his mind powers were not strong enough to penetrate this idiots. But he was human, everything about him reeked of humanity and their wasn't a trace of a vamperic aura around him. He guessed he had a handsome enough face. Talana would have a good time with this idiot.
Yamcha took Vegeta's hand and Vegeta had to restrain the urge to laugh even his grip was pathetic. He couldn't resist the urge to squeeze his hand slightly and break a few bones. Well at least he wasn't a complete weakling and managed not to cry out though Vegeta saw that it was a struggle. He abruptly let go of Yamcha's hand and wheeled around to face Bulma.
"I need to pickup my Tux for tonight and run a few errands but I'll. Be back on time to help you with the party."
"Ok I'll just visit with Yamcha for a while." She chirped cheerfully God she was acting worse than those pathetic teenagers at those stupid N'Tink or Blanc Street Boys concerts that Talana kept dragging him and Tobias to.
"Fine just be careful," and with that thought he spun around and slammed out of the room. Danica sat leaning back in her chair staring at him.
"Is he dead yet?" She questioned hopefully.
"Not quite but I assure you he will be. Do me a favor call my sister and tell her I have a surprise for her and that I'll give her details when I get there but first I'm going to get some lunch." He licked his lips evilly.
"I almost feel sorry for him," She said smirking, "almost."

An hour later Vegeta stood in front of the large mansion Talana, Tobias and himself had bought about 100 years before to give Nappa something to do by assigning him as caretaker. He knocked on the door and waited in the mudroom impatiently as he waited for Talana's millions of security systems to make sure he was the actual Vegeta, for one of the strongest people in the universe Talana sure was paranoid. After the last retinal scan was complete he entered the house and headed towards the T.V room careful to avoid the traps Talana had set up around the house where he knew at least one of his partners would be. At the doorway to the T.V room he was caught in one of Talana's stupid traps. He looked in to the living room to be faced with Tobias's good side as he stared at his stupid computer.
"Get me out of here," Vegeta yelled! There was a flash of metal and Vegeta hit the floor. He got up and walked over to Tobias. "You could have warned me." Vegeta snapped glaring into Tobias's deformed 'opposite' face.
"Yeah, but that would have been less fun," Tobias smirked at his computer.
"Can you at least look at me when you talk to me," Vegeta snapped irritated. Tobias glanced up. It was always a shock to look at Tobias's face even though Vegeta had known him for a couple hundred years. Vegeta and Talana both knew Tobias had been born during the year 500 BC a normal healthy baby in Ancient Greece and had grown up to become a gladiator. Frieza had supposedly seen him fighting and decided to change him. Sometime between his birth as a human and his birth as a vampire half of his face had been badly burned and scarred and was never the same. Neither Vegeta nor Talana knew how it had been scarred and neither of them probably ever would. "Where's Talana?"
"I think she's out torturing people on the list." The list was a list of Talana's top 10 most hated people or things.
1 Rapists
2 Child Molesters
3 Murderers
4 Nazis
5 Pimps
6 Poachers
7 Egotistical Creeps
8 Stupid Cartoons (SpongeBob)
9 Stupid Books (Captain Underpants)
10 Preppies
"Which ones," Vegeta questioned taking a seat next to Tobias on the second lounge chair (think Friends.)
"I think the first 1-7."
"Well at least she won't be hungry."
"Guess who?" Came a cheerful voice from behind him as a pair of hands covered his eyes.
"Annoying bitch who happens to be related to me."
"Close enough, now tell me my surprise." Talana demanded impatiently.
"Now that didn't sound at all greedy." Tobias intoned.
"Shut up." Talana snapped nastily
"Bite me." Tobias muttered absentmindedly. Talana snapped her jaw at him before turning back to Vegeta.
"So what's my surprise," She begged impatiently twirling a strand of her platinum blonde hair around her finger. Her midnight blue eyes stared at him expectantly he felt a jab in his chest 'god she seemed so innocent so lacking in guile.'
"I'll give you a hint." Vegeta said, "It's male."
"Is he on the list," Talana questioned rubbing her hands together expectantly.
"Number 7," Vegeta stated calmly.
Talana looked confused, "But I don't kill or torture number 7's." Both men looked at her. "OK, ok maybe I do torture number 7's once in a while but nothing permanent and only to teach them a lesson."
"Well this man is worse than the average number 7,"Vegeta snapped a dark edge to his voice. Tobias looked up from his computer a frowned as he heard the sharp edge to Vegeta's voice and looked at him expectantly.
"How?" Talana questioned putting a comforting hand on Vegeta's arm. He smirked and held out a hand where a hologram of Yamcha appeared introducing himself as the Dark Flame. Talana and Tobias both stared at the image and Vegeta could feel the rage welling up from both of them. Screw the All- American family he would take his nice little psychotic family any day. He raised his eyes to Talana's flashing blue ones.
"So how do you want this bastard sent to the next dimension?" Talana questioned.
