"You see Bulma it was I who hit you!" The voice stated.

"RAE!!!" Bulma shrieked. "But-why? How could you?"

Rae laughed devilishly. Bulma snarled and stepped up to Rae.

"Who are you? You can't possibly be the sweet young girl I knew!" Bulma voiced looking Rae in the eye searching for answers.

"I was never Rae, I just pretended to be "Rae" your humble servant to get close enough to you. You see Bulma your inventions can come in handy when me and my Zarbon-pooh decide to overthrow Vegeta and his weakling of a Father." The women formally known as Rae stated with a fiendish, mocking smirk.

"Your mad! Who are you?" Bulma asked her breathing getting faster with every passing minute.

"My real name is Shenza, learn it well wench!" Shenza hissed, and signaled for Zarbon to grab Bulma by her arms.

Zarbon laughed and from behind grabbed Bulmas arms rendering her defenseless.

"Now will you cooperate with us Bulma?" Shenza asked sweetly teasing Bulma.

Bulma struggled to get free but Zarbons hold was to tough.

"Never!" Bulma screamed again struggling to get free, but as before it was no use.

"That's a shame! We could have done it the easy way, but have it your way" Shenza sneered and frowned at Zarbon. "Zarbon! Release her!"

Zarbon smirked at Bulma and threw her roughly to the ground. She landed to fast to put her hands out to soften her fall and she fell to the concreted floor on her chest and face. Bulma winced in pain as she tried to get up. Rae scowled and placed a single foot floating above Bulmas back.

"Will you cooperate Bulma..your a smart woman don't make a stupid choice!" Shenza asked holding her foot above Bulmas back.

" You monster!" Bulma spat venomisely.

"It's sad that you won't join us Bulma!" Shenza exclaimed and brought her foot violently down on Bulmas back.

Bulma cried out in agony as her body once again became acquainted with the hard ground.

"You fool! Whether with or without you I will get your inventions, I saw you place them in your dresser! I know where they are!" Shenza stated walking over Bulmas limp body and over to Zarbon.

Shenza was about to speak once more when she saw Bulmas limp body attempt to lift.

"You are the fool Shenza. You under estimate the power of the Saiyans, my weapons are strong, but the Saiyans are stronger! Do you honestly think you can beat Vegeta! HA!" Bulma said her voice broken. Her chest heaved up and down trying to take in the oxygen needed for her to survive.

Shenza growled and walked again over to Bulma standing proudly over Bulmas wilted cadaver.

"The Saiyans are idiots! Bruts with no brains! All muscle! It is a miracle they haven't died out with the other apes!" Shenza ridiculed with a sneer.

"Shenza, I pity you! Your death will be very painful, its just to bad I won't be there to see you squirm in agony like the two faced snake you are!" Bulma voiced with a chuckle.

Shenza glared at Bulma.

"Wench!" Shenza shrieked and brought her foot to Bulmas side kicking her dead in the ribs.

Bulma cried out in pain, she spat out blood and bit down on her lip stifling the cry she desperately wanted to let out but kept strong. She moaned and held her side with her hand. A moment later another swift kick landed Bulma in the same rib, she could hear the rib crack as the foot connected with her side.

"We are not as tough as we first thought now are we Bulma?" Shenza snorted. "Zarbon get her out of my sight! Dispose of her anyway that you like"

Zarbon nodded and picked Bulma up violently not caring of the pain it caused her. Zarbon held her with her arms behind her back, she could barely hold herself up, and when she tried she failed miserably. Zarbon held her up by her arms. Bulma watched through blurry vision Zarbon smile devilishly at her. She frowned, she may die, but she would not die without a fight. So with what little strength left in Bulma she back kicked Zarbon in his manhood. Zarbon howled in pain but kept his grip on Bulma.

"You Bitch!" Zarbon growled and raised his hand to deliever the final blow that would surely end Bulma. She closed her eyes awaiting her fate. After a minute when nothing happened she reopened her eyes and faintly saw black flame then passed out.

Bulma awoke in the comforts of her room. She slowly lifted herself up into a sitting position in her bed, but just as soon as she did so she had to lay back down due to the enormous shot of pain she felt in her ribs and back.

"Rest onna your ribs are broken!" a familiar voice cooed.

Bulma leisurely turned her head to her side where she was greeted by a smirking Vegeta.

"Vegeta.but how?" Bulma said her vision clearing.

"hmph..don't worry about that. You'll find out later!" Vegeta said leaning against a wall.

"Oh. Hey but what about Zarbon and Shenza!" Bulma cried shooting up from her bed. As soon as she did so she again had to lay back.

"You never learn do you!" Vegeta grunted while shaking his head.

"Hmph..well what happened to those bastards?" Bulma asked.

"The pretty boy is dead!" Vegeta replied with a satisfied smirk. "The wench is in the dungeon"

"Oh my!" Bulma gasped."Who killed him?"

Vegeta smirked smugly.

"Hmph, who do you think?" Vegeta said getting off the wall.

"You?...Vegeta..you saved me?" Bulma gasped sitting up yet again and winced AGAIN from the sharp pain.

Vegeta rolled his eyes and walked over to Bulmas bed side.

"Woman! Would you lay the fuck down!" Vegeta snorted sitting on a chair by her bed.

Bulma 'hmphed' but obeyed nonetheless. As her head lay on the pillow she closed her eyes, when she reopened her eyes, she saw Vegeta staring intensely at her. She blinked, yet his stare never staggered. She shifted under his stare uncomfortably. His dark orbs stared deeply into her aquatic blue. Feeling overwhelmed and surprisingly nervous she turned her face. It seemed to have done the trick for when she looked back he wasn't sitting at her side anymore instead he was heading out the door.

"Vegeta! Where are you going?" Bulma called to Vegeta.

Vegeta stopped and turned only slightly.

"None of your business!" Vegeta snorted.

Bulma frowned, she was disappointed he was leaving she at least wanted to talk to him, she wanted to find out what happened! But more than anything she wanted to thank him. She just couldn't find the words. Just then she remembered something that in its special way would sum up all the thank you(s) she wanted to say.

"Vegeta wait..i want to give you something" Bulma called.

Vegeta hesitated but decide to go see what she wanted.
