A/N I'm baaaackkk! Lol, sorry I took a vacation! I got a new computer too! For Christmas ::Grins:: New printer too!!!! Well, anyone get anything interesting for Christmas? Well, enjoy the chapter.
Assassins, How We Got Here, Chapter 10; Names Bulma, just Bulma.
"And what exactly do you want me to do with her?!" Commander Commander screamed at Vegeta.
"What the hell do you think? Train her maybe!? She looked lost when I met her. She was alone. I looked in her ship, the only other one out there, she was alone. Perhaps she is like I was when I was a child. Perhaps she wants to become an assassin, perhaps she is running away from a bad home, perhaps…" Vegeta was cut off.
"Perhaps she is a spy!" thundered Commander Commander. "You need to learn Vegeta, you need to quit being so young and innocent with this thought process that thinks that any person you meet is sweet and innocent. You would think the eleven years you have been here that you would know exactly how deceitful one can be. Do you realize that a small, seemingly weak human with her beauty would be the perfect cover up for a spy from the Gray Death to get inside info on us? Yes Vegeta, she is beautiful I realize this. Most women with her beauty are not too nice. Learn this. You're hopeless with women I swear…Let's go meet this "innocent looking" female," the Commander grumbled.
"Sir! Sir! We need you sir!" said a nameless face form the doorway. "It's the girl. She woke up and panicked. She began to attack the people that have tried to restrain her sir."
"Well, we know she's not a spy," the commander said quietly.
"And why is that?" Vegeta questioned.
"USE YOUR HEAD SOMETIMES VEGETA I SWEAR!" shouted the commander. "If she were a spy, would she come in attacking everyone in sight? Hmmm?
"Well…no I suppose not," Vegeta said with a blush staining his bronze features.
"Well Lieutenant, restrain her and calm her down, you have my permission," the commander said turning.
"That's the problem sir. Assassin Goku and Assassin Chi-Chi were even unable to handle the young woman," the Lieutenant said. The Commander froze.
"What did you say?" the commander's armor made no noise what-so-ever (which was odd...) as the middle-aged man stood immobile still facing the other direction.
"Assassins Goku and As…"
"I HEARD THAT YOU IMBICILE, NOW SHOW US THE WAY!" the fully armored man shouted. :::Goku and Chi-Chi? How? They are among my top three assassins; the only one above them being Vegeta….this is exceptionally, strange. Yet, in a good way…hmmmm…::: "Vegeta, as soon as we get there I wan you to restrain the girl, by any means necessary," the commander commanded (A/n LOL, I love saying that one O.o shutting up…).
"Sir." They arrived at the scene only a few moments later. And indeed, there lie on the floor Assassin Goku and Assassin Chi-Chi, Goku sprawled out over her body, as if protecting her. In addition to them, there were sixteen security guards littering the floor. Thankfully only unconscious, nothing broken or damaged about them. And there in the corner of the hospital room, behind one of those annoyingly small hospital beds was a young woman, no older than eighteen. She had her knees pulled up to her waist and was rocking back and fourth with her lips moving, whispering something incoherent, and she was looking around the room like a deranged man (A/n Woman that is O.o). Vegeta considered this a very, very, very, sad sight. Vegeta began to move over her way. Her eyes widened at the sight of him walking towards her. She didn't move though.
"You're the man from the space ship lot," Bulma said in an extremely quiet voice.
"Yes, that would be me. Are you all right Miss? What happened?" Vegeta asked with fake concern. He had perfected this acting art early on. She glared at him.
"Don't. Come. Near. Me." she hissed at him, separating each word for effect. He took a step towards her with each step :::Shit, she's not falling for it…::: This one wasn't going to be easy, she can obviously see thorough fake concern. He thought hard about people he would have to feel concern for. Goku. Chi-Chi. The commander. He took all of those people he cared for and visualized them is this position.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a very kind voice with genuine concern on his face. She still wasn't buying it.
"Why am I here?" she whispered harshly, with a glare.
"You were hurt. You hit your head pretty hard. I brought you to the infirmary so you could heal. I'm sorry if they startled you, may I ask exactly what happened." Vegeta's patience almost betrayed him as he was speaking to the teenager, he had to use every once of control that was beaten into him as a child via his father. Though, the practice paid off. She, after a few hesitant moments, decided to trust him. :::Well, I need to trust SOMEBODY. It's not like I have many…make that ANY friends now…:::
"I woke up and didn't recognize where I was or why I was here. I had forgotten the incident in the space ship lot," Bulma said. She had stopped rocking, but still had her arms wrapped around her legs.
"She was screaming for Albert sir," one of the medic's said; he seemed to press himself against the wall after he found himself on the receiving end of Bulma's glare.
"Who is Albert, and please, your name. What is your name Miss?" Vegeta asked calmly. He could see the un-shielded pain in her eyes at the mention of Albert. His concern became truly authentic and meant for her.
Bulma looked at everyone in the room in turn and turned her head away from the man questioning her. She didn't think EVERY single person in this room needed to know her horrors. No one but this man did, and the one in body armor might need to know as well…He seemed to be a leader or boss of some sort.
"Alright, everyone out," the boss/leader said. Immediately everyone began to file out without question. Even Vegeta began to leave until the man pulled him back by his robes, stopping his progress. "She seems to only trust you," he whispered as soft as he could through his visor. Vegeta nodded. Once everyone was out, except the three and all of the unconscious people (which Commander Commander began to put on the beds) Vegeta took a seat near where he had been standing. He stayed put so he would frighten her; he'd give her awhile before he approached her.
"So, what is your name?" Vegeta asked softly and politely. Bulma looked around the room again, as if making sure everyone was asleep.
"I am Bulma, you?" she said softly, trust and terror radiating from her eyes.
"I am the Assassin Vegeta, this is my commander, Commander Commander," Vegeta said, again softly. Bulma took a sharp intake of breath.
"A WHAT!!" she yelled.
"An assassin, have you had a bad experience with an assassin before?" Vegeta asked, his head cocking to the side.
"Bloody right I did! They only killed my husband and two of my friends!" :::Well, one killed her self…But he doesn't need to know that.::: Bulma said/thought.
"What did your husband and friends do to upset these assassins, do you happen to know where they were from?" Vegeta asked, staying calm.
"We did ABSOLUTLY nothing. We loved each other, he was a Prince; they had come to destroy the inhabitants of Earth. I think Rose called them The Gray Death," Bulma said, her previous trust gone, she had put on an emotionless mask in its place.
"Gray Death…The Grey Death are our greatest enemies and fiercest opponents. Earth you say? Why Earth I wonder…Did the King and Queen of Earth do anything, anything at all to upset this Legion of assassins?" Vegeta asked, still calm. He knew if he lost it, there would be no talking to this girl, excuse me, woman, she was no girl.
"No, the king and queen were the sweetest people you could meet. They were the perfect example of good rulers. They listened to everyone and anyone, no matter what. There were no classes, everyone lived in peace…kinda…" Bulma said as her mask slipped.
"Well, that's the problem then. The Gray Death does not appreciate that type of rulers. They like greedy and cut throat rulers. They probably destroyed everyone and are moving new people in," Vegeta said thoughtfully.
"No, they are dead, the one that came. My friends and I took care of the soldiers that they sent in the ships. I believe there were fifty-seven ships, each with three hundred people on them…then the others came…" Bulma said, her voice dying down.
"How many "friends" do you have?" Vegeta asked with a raised eyebrow. :::How? 171,00 soldiers? They are the best of the best next to us…:::
"There were eight of us. Well, nine, but one ran before they came," Bulma said, not really thinking about it, it was more like an automatic answer.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME EIGHT "FRIENDS" KILLED 171,00 MEN WITH ONLY THREE DYING!" Vegeta had lost it. He COULD NOT believe it.
"Well, I'm sure there were more than that. We all took out at least 6 thousand each. And they weren't the ones that killed they. They came about three hours after the previous," Bulma answered, blinking in surprise from his outburst.
"Not ONLY did you kill that many men, but you lost no one doing so. And you defeated the Special Forces as well?..." Vegeta was speechless.
"Ya, that's it. Well, the "special forces" as you put it, killed an old man named Haschel, he was in his eighties,"
"Eighties, right," Vegeta said weakly.
"And then, Meru, she was over 200 years old, but she was a wingly, they live to old ages. She only looked seventeen…Anyway, she killed herself after Haschel died because she was in love with him. Albert…my husband, was killed by a small girl called…Lenk I believe.." Bulma said, looking away.
"LENK!" the commander and Vegeta shouted at the same time.
"Are you saying that Sephiroth's team was there?" Vegeta asked, wide-eyed.
"Ya, that was his name. That's the one I fought…Sephiroth…" Bulma stared off into space.
"YOU fought SEPHIROTH, and LIVED!? Now, how the fuck did you manage that?" Vegeta said hoarsely.
"Why don't you just tell us what happened from beginning to end Bulma," the commander said in what you might call a fatherly voice.
::Sigh:: "Alright. It started when I was five. I met Rose. She trained us, one day told us a prophecy.
When the moon becomes no more in the dark midnight sky, on all hallows eve. A woman of young age will give birth to a child of strength.
The birth of the child will be the death of the mother and hatred would invade the father's heart.
She would know her father's wrath at the young age of five. A decade of suffering and pain will accompany her hand in hand. But her purity would remain intact and be gifted to her one true love.
Befriending the new age Dragoons would bring victory to Earth and defeat to great evil. But not all good shall prevail. As three Dragoons will lie to rest on Earth's battle ground. Never to witness their planets greatest victory.
Sorrow and pain will invade her heart, tainting her soul to no end. Leaving her planet from that day forth. Promising to the gods and to herself, never to return to her birth place.
"This was told when I was older though. So we trained even harder. I was the child of prophecy, destined to save the world, at the expense of my own happiness. I got married when I was five to the Prince, please don't ask why. And when it came to battle, we were ready. I'm not sure if you've heard of the Dragoons of legend, but my friends were them. I don't feel like explaining…We killed the first wave. The rest came an hour after our first battle was complete. The first kill was Haschel, then Meru attacked her friend for not healing him cause Shana can heal people. Meru then knocked….Mimi I think her name was…senseless, then she killed herself. I fought with a guy named Umi. He was easy work. I played with him thinking that my husband could handle the child that was told to get rid of him. For some reason she didn't kill Kongol though...I finished with my "battle" just in time to see my husband mortally wounded. At first I was mad at her. Then I remembered who her father was. He had just fought our leaders, Rose Rose and Dart, I challenged him and won. I don't remember much, only rage, then them leaving. I woke up three months later in the castle's infirmary. I was told I was pregnant. The king was pretty old, so I stayed until my child was born. Not making contact with anyone for the six months. I ate when necessary and bathed when ness Cary. I left as soon as the child was born, eager to flee my past, just as the prophecy said…" Bulma was in tears by the end.
"So it was Sephiroth. You beat Sephiroth? Wow. Listen Bulma, you've had a hard time. It doesn't seem like you have anywhere else to go. If you want, you may join our assassins group. We only kill the type of people the Gray Death want in power. You could say we're the "good" assassins…If such a thing exists. You've killed too many people to fear God anymore, so obviously that won't be a problem for you. What do you say, Bulma?" Vegeta reached his long arm across the room, extending his hand. Bulma stared at his hand for a minute, then shook it, smiling grimly.
"Alright. Since I have no where else to go…"
