BULMA IN THE WOODS
'Holy shit! I can't take much more of this running……my body is read to give out on me! …………….but it wouldn't hurt to walk for just a few minutes, right? I mean, come on…..i've been running from that man for over 3 hours! DAMN IT! I knew I should have taken P.E. every year! UGH!'
Bulma was not liking the chase, but she finally convinced herself that she could risk the few minutes of walking….and then about 20 minutes later, she convinced herself that sitting down wouldn't be bad either….so she found a good cold rock and she flung her body on it.
'This rock feels sooo nice……it's sooo cold, and I'm sooo tired…..but I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP!'
About twenty minutes later, Bulma finally realized that she could not risk staying still any longer. She got up and tried to run but her legs were resistant….. 'as long as I at least keep walking…….I just can't stop…. Oh shoot, it's starting to get dark, I need to start looking for somewhere to camp out!'
VEGETA AT CAPSULE CORP
'Alright, this shouldn't be too hard….she's just a human for crying out loud! Wow, the living room is a mess!' Vegeta had just arrived at Capsule Corp, and his first goal was to pick up on Bulma's scent so that he could start tracking her…he looked around the main floors, and finally found a staircase that led him to the labs.
'Ahh….here we go! Alright, there was obviously a fight, and this is where her father must have been killed….' Vegeta was pacing around the lab, upturning tables, and chairs, trying to find some clues that he needed as to how she got out of the house…He stopped and sniffed the air…..
'GOTCHA!' he thought,his smirk was growing now….he knew that the hard part was over,the actual chasing would not take long at all….she WAS only human….and he was a Saiyan PRINCE!
Vegeta hovered a little and began to take in the air as he followed Bulma's scent out of the house…..
10 minutes later, he arrived at a big forested area… 'well,that was dumb of her…I can just seek out any human ki signatures, and then I'll find her…..' thought Vegeta. He silently stared around at the tops of the trees, and after several minutes of mistaking animals for humans, he finally locked onto her ki signal….
'Not high at all….but it's slightly rising….but that's probably because she's been running for….a long time…what the hell was wrong with that Saiyan! This is NOT a difficult task!' Vegeta growled in frustration, but then he began to take off after her,but not at a fast pace,oh no,he wanted to have a little bit of fun, and at least see all of what Ms. Briefs could do, before he actually captured her…
THE KING IS WAITING
"How difficult could it be to track a human!" King Vegeta mocked as he waited for his son's arrival.
"Sire.." an officer had interrupted the king's train of thought. The King was not thrilled, but he would hear what the officer had to say.
"What is it Officer?"
"Umm,sire, Bravo Company is wondering when they can stop fighting the humans and come back….they thought that this whole thing was only supposed to take an hour…."
"Why? Have they lost too many men?"
"uh, no sire, they just wanted to make sure that you haven't forgotten about them…."
"Call Nappa in here…I need to speak with him, and when I am done I will give you their orders…DISMISSED!"
The officer hurriedly ran out, he didn't want to upset the king….
15 minutes later, Nappa walked into the king's private quarters…
"Yes your highness?"
The King was standing at his window, looking out at the forests beyond him….he needed someone to confide in, but he didn't want to appear too weak…
Nappa was about to ask the King again, when the King finally spoke…
"Nappa, you have grown up with me…….you have known me longer than anyone,even my wife Sabine does not know me as well,and I live with the bloody woman…." Nappa chuckled,he knew that the King was trying to act all tough,but he also knew that it hurt the King to say that about his wife,she was nothing short of the most precious thing in the King's life….
"Nappa…..am I doing the right thing?" Nappa looked up at this….the King never lowered himself to asking anyone advice…well…he did ask his wife, the Queen….but NO one else..
"ugh…sire,what do you mean?"
"I mean, with my son! I am going to have him marry this human, but I…this is going to sound strange I am sure, but this is not how I pictured it…."
Nappa was stunned…now the King was opening up? He had his arms behind him, and he secretly pinched himself to make sure that he wasn't dreaming…two seconds later he grimaced…. 'NOPE! Definitely NOT dreaming!'
"And how did you picture it sire? ..IF you don't mind me asking…" he hurriedly added.
"Well, ever since my son was born….I wanted a Saiyan family….I wanted to have strong boys, and I wanted them to meet fine women, and then I wanted to get along with their wives and to have them look to me as they would their own father….and then I wanted to have strong grandchildren…..and…even though I am forcing my son to marry a human….I want her to feel the same way towards me…but I know that she will absolutely LOATH the entire Saiyan race for tearing her away from her own planet! And it absolutely would not surprise me! Anyone would loath the Saiyans and the Saiyans would loath anyone that attempted to tear them away from Vegetasai… Nappa,I am asking you as a friend….am I doing the right thing?"
Nappa was speechless….he had only seen the King's iron fist personality, the one that ruled the kingdom…the one that kept over a billion Saiyan brutes under control….and now he was helpless looking….. Nappa knew that Saiyans cared about their family and they would die for their family, but this was different….the King looked like he would take out species upon species if anyone so much as threatened one of his family….family obviously meant a lot to him…..Nappa looked up at the King….he could tell that the King was nervous that Nappa would think him weak…but that was the last thing on Nappa's mind….he stood still and began to think of some way to help the King….finally, and idea sprung to his head… "Your highness…I've got an idea!"
Now, the King was stunned,Nappa was actually going to help him!
"Go ahead Nappa, what is your idea?"
"Well your highness, first off you are doing the right thing, any Great King would want the best for his empire….and this is what you must do…and as for the girl….well….you actually might be a little upset…"
"Well come on Nappa, I need to decide what I'm going to do now…I do have a company out fighting all of the earth's warriors!"
"sorry your highness….but my idea was….that you let the girl and Vegeta stay here on Earth for two months…give her two months, that way she has some time to say goodbye…and she'll get to know your son better….and for their protection,have Kakarott stay with him for those two months….they can live out in a desolate area, and Ms. Briefs will hopefully become a little more comfortable with the Prince and they can learn about each other….and you can come visit once every two weeks, and that way she will get to know you as well!" Nappa was finished….and he was praying that the King would like his idea…
The King smiled…it was a fantastic idea!
"Thanks Nappa! That just might work…go find Kakarott and tell him what is going to happen…then go and tell the officer that went to get you that he is to order the company back, but that they are to go find some food in the nearest forest first! And also tell Kakarott that it is his job to find my son and tell him the news…NOW GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I DECIDE TO KILL YOU INSTEAD!"
Nappa smiled to himself, 'He's back…'
Right before Nappa reached the door, the King stopped him,
"oh and Nappa? Who got that Chi Chi woman that was outside…."
"oh..umm….Kakarott did….the new couple are actually sitting outside talking about their pasts…"
"Good, Kakarott needed a woman! And she will obviously stay with him here on Earth for these two months!"
Both men laughed before Nappa excused himself to go and carry out his duties….
WITH THE COMPANY
The Saiyan Captain had just gotten done putting another hole through a human soldier's chest, when his com link went off…
"Captain Najak,…what is it?" he growled…he was pissed off…none of his men had been killed, but they were only supposed to have been fighting for an hour, and fighting an entire planet's army was beginning to become tedious work…..not to mention his men were starving!
"Captain, the King has ordered that you remove your troops from battle, go find something to eat, and then to be back at the ship within thirty minutes! Is that understood?"
"Yes…and it's about TIME!" The Captain then looked at his men and gave a roar, signaling for them to stop. They all briefly stopped, received his instructions, and then they took to the skies lightning fast, and headed to the nearest forest…meanwhile the earth's military had no idea what had just happened or where the Saiyans had gone to…
BULMA AND HER LIMP
Bulma was getting super tired now…she had twisted her ankle on a branch a few hundred meters back, and it was turning a little blue…but she refused to stop….one of the reasons for her not stopping was the fact that she knew someone was following her…..she hadn't seen the person but she knew it…..
Bulma sighed, it was getting darker now, and she shivered as a cool wind raced over her bare arms…. 'why did I wear a tank top and thin capris today…WITH sandals? Oh yeah, that's right, because I didn't expect a whole race of aliens to come flying down into my world, destroying everything, and trying to capture me….' Bulma was now struggling through an entanglement of vines…she was PISSED! Finally as she broke free, she heard a twig snap up ahead of her….she stood shock still……she was scared to even breathe…she just stood there…praying to God, that for the first time in her life, she just wanted to see a deer or something else…just not something that would kill her….
After just twenty seconds she heard a few more twigs snapping, but it was coming from all around her….this wasn't the same feeling as earlier…she knew that she now had two separate things following her….Finally the steps of the things coming toward her were becoming quicker, and she felt her heart pick up the pace….her breathing was becoming so quick…and then out of the woods stepped a Company of Saiyan men….and Bulma screamed at the top of her lungs, and began to run as fast as she could in the opposite direction…
VEGETA AND HIS TRACKING
Vegeta abruptly stopped his flying…. 'What the fuck was that?' He stayed silent….yup…he wasn't being crazy…the woman's ki had just jumped up by a significant amount…and that could only mean one thing….something else had found her first…. Vegeta began to panic, when he felt the other kis all around her…and they were all too high to be human….it didn't take much time for Vegeta to realize what was happening….the Saiyan Company must have stumbled upon her…and knowing Saiyans, they were probably going to have some fun with her….'I just hope I can get there before they…' he shuddered…. 'I don't even want to think about what they will do to her….' With a new-found determination, and with his anger at the Saiyan Company, Vegeta flew faster than he ever had in his life to get to Bulma. 'ENOUGH WITH THE GAMES, THIS ENDS NOW!'
