Last Time:
" 'Away she flew' ," Bulma recited the line, pacing back and forth, she didn't notice that 18 had left her behind. " I got It 18!.." Bulma spun around to face the female "18?!... Where are you?... Just great!" Bulma ran headlong in the opposite direction of 18's departure. :: I think going over that cliff is our only way of escaping those hallucinating idiots! ::
"18!!" Bulma shouted every two minutes. But the shouts not only got 18's attention, they also resulted in a certain sayajin prince locating his diner.
A few minutes later Bulma located the clearing she was looking for, the same clearing where she lost there friend. Unbeknownst to her Vegeta was barreling towards her from behind.
:: All mine (I wish you could say that to Bulma instead of a stupid bird. You know it's sad really, putting food before finding the love of your life) Bulma is not the love of my life! (Of course she's not, but think about it, shouldn't finding her take top priority)::
Vegeta's mental struggle distracted him from slowing down to the necessary speed so that he didn't send both him and his lunch over the cliff.
"Bulma behind you!" 18 shouted to warn her associate.
"What?!" Bulma was slammed off her feet and over the cliff. While descending she realized that her feet and arms were tightly wrapped around well chiseled chest and waist. She was unable to scream her terror as the water below came speeding up towards's blue feathers were no longer sticSH!'
Her lungs were burning.
Chp. 14
"Here chic, chic, chic." Krillin taunted his prey
18 was drawn from her thoughts upon hearing his taunt. :: I need to find a way down there.::
She once again took refuge in the woods, with her deranged husband chasing closely behind.
"I'm tired from all this running around!" Yamchua complained "Hey Krillin! Bring me back some grub!" :: I'm beat, besides, my bird's dead. -sigh- I should be chasing Cruz! Instead of some dumb birds::

Once Vegeta entered the water he immediately stripped himself of his burden. The feathered creature sank into the watery depths, but something was different, the creature was changing its physical shape, but that was not possible. He floated watching the changes as if he was watching a science fiction move where the mad scientist was performing an experiment which involved melting the unfortunate creature's skin turning it into an unrecognizable glob of mess. The murky water swirled around the object's form. The creature's blue feathers were no longer sticking haphazardly about its chubby body, its long beak was replaced with a face which consisted of two eyes, a nose and rosy pink lips. ::What the hell?! That's Bulma.:: He grabbed her around the waist and swam towards the surface eager to replenish his oxygen supply and to find out if his precious cargo was still alive.
The river current however, picked up speed the exact moment Vegeta surfaced. He made powerful strokes towards the bank but made no progress at all. The river instead pulled its occupants in its own predestined direction. Vegeta this time changed his strategy, he made an attempt to fly out of his perilous situation, but the river had a glue like hold on its occupants. He powered up once more to make his ascent, but to no avail. His arms were weakening under Bulma's weight, which was a very disturbing reality to the sayajin prince. He should not be experiencing any problems carrying her, but his situation seemed to prove otherwise. He clutched Bulma's unconscious form close to him while he struggled to keep her head above the water as the current pulled them down stream. ::the woman owes me big time for this.::

"According to the map this river will take them directly to a clearing close to the palace." Mimbek announced to his king and queen.
"I could care less where they are going as long as they die!" Salika shouted angrily at the screen.
"Let's speed up their suffering"
"I'll activate the steps." Mimbek continued " This way you can separate them and can kill them in pairs, it will be much more entertaining to watch the other's fear while their friend is being killed."
"I like the way you think Mimbek."
"Thank you my Lord."
"Toria and Zaria go play with your assignments."
Zaria walked towards Rotiart, sensually smiled into his eyes and kissed him hungrily on the lips. "As you wish my Lord." Was whispered into his ear after their encounter. Zaria then spun on her heels and marched out the room.
Toria however, bowed and exited the room to complete her task.
"That was revolting" Salika said in a disgusted tone. "Are you sure you two are family. She just gave a whole new meaning to family bond."
Rotiart however was stone faced; staring at the exit his sisters took. "Are you jealous?"
"Ha! Don't make me laugh!"
"She may be a little...........eccentric but she gets the job done." Rotiart ended the conversation; simultaneously wiping his lips clean of the encounter.
"Finally some blood shed!" Salika sadistically declared.
Bardock's Chamber
"This console in Bardock's chamber serves us well, don't you agree?."
Ramgeet ignored Cruz's comment and instead stared at the screen before her. :: there she goes again rattling of about how brilliant her mind is. I've been her closet companion for years now and it never ceases to amaze me how she invents new ways of promoting herself. Tasmin is so young, she hangs on every word Cruz utter. She is a good fighter though, strong, and an expert swords woman, next to Salika that is. But in time she'll soon surpass her. I just hope Cruz is right about us trusting her.::
"How did you know it was here?" Tasmin inquired
"My mind told me."
"Enough with that bullshit about you reading minds O.K.!"
Cruz chuckled at Ramgeet's outburst. Cruz had always known that Ramgeet was a little uncomfortable with the idea of her reading minds. She never once stood to prove to Ramgeet that she had the ability for Ramgeet was her friend and she would never violate her by spying through her personal thoughts.
"And what is so funny!?"
"You still don't understand. My family has spent generations mastering this art....... However, this gift was only taught to the male members of the family."
"Are you a male and didn't tell me Cruz?" Ramgeet mocked
"I am going to ignore that comment Ramgeet." Cruz faced Tasmin pointedly ignoring Ramgeet's mockery "Mates can communicate telepathically to each other, and my family realized that this ability could be expanded. Over ten generations we studied all that was recorded about mated telepathy. Deep meditation day and night was required however to unlock the unknown secrets of telepathy. Finally, the barrier was broken and in doing so we are able to perceive what the future may be and sometimes if we try hard enough we get glimpses of what a particular person is thinking," Cruz smiled at Tasmin's surprise. "A person that is not our mate. While my father taught Mimbek, I persuaded him to teach me just the basics, and over the years I expanded my abilities."
"Great story. Good for you."
"Shut up Ramgeet......... Mimbek has no idea I know all his little secrets." Cruz walked away from their curious gazes.
"Where are you going?" Ramgeet asked
"To meditate, I must as often as possible to keep a safe watch over the prince and his friends."
"I thought you said you have 'expanded your abilities' should you already know what will happen to them?"
Cruz spun immediately at the hidden insult and glared at Ramgeet "It still takes a lot of effort, and patience, I only have bits and pieces of information." She stalked out of the room and away from Ramgeet's snickering
"Why do you tease her so often?" Tasmin inquired slightly angry that Ramgeet showed no respect at all for her mentor.
"Keep out of this child!"

The river finally slowed to a reasonable speed thus, Vegeta was able to swim ashore. All this time Bulma laid unconscious in his arms, at least he was able to get her to start breathing albeit a shallow type of breathing but air was circulating within her body nonetheless and for this he was happy, no relieved. She was still weak, the impact of the plunge was too much of a strain on her frail body. Noticing her pale complexion, he carried her under a tree and left her behind to find some fire wood to keep her warm.
Minutes later Bulma stirred from her slumber. It was the second time today she had a hard time remembering what happened to her in the previous hours. She opened her eyes and realized that she was laying on her back under a massive tree. The limbs were spread apart like a huge umbrella with strange green and yellow leaves attached. Darkness was approaching and the woods were deadly quiet, the most frightening part however was that she was alone. Bulma had often put down Chichi's distrust for this planet, but on the inside she was scared. Scared of the repercussions of the decision of making that one wish. It was too late now to be berating herself about her mistake......... Was it a mistake?.......... Right now she wasn't sure how to answer that question.
Bulma forced herself into a sitting position but her water drenched body protested against such sudden movement. A fit of coughs shook her body mercilessly while she struggled to maintain the oxygen flow through her lungs.
"You should take it easy, you were out for a while."
Bulma's coughing subsided as quickly as it came, mainly due to the fact that she was afraid, she knew who was speaking but what she didn't know was if his previous hallucinations had ended. "Where are we and where are the others?" Bulma inquired with a strong and determined voice. Determined that she will continue to hide her fears and appear strong.
"Listen woman, all I know is that we are here and the other idiots are not!"
"Aren't we cranky!" She seethed with anger, her fears forgotten "I should be the one who is upset! After all I was chased by a certain prince all over the fucking woods! Not to mention pushed off that godforsaken cliff and knocked unconscious!" Bulma's voice echoed her last words into the quiet woods.

Yamchua laid in the afternoon sun enjoying the temporary tranquility he know he was experiencing. He sat up and looked around ::Krillin has been gone for a long time.::
A rumbling sound was heard to his right ::Hey that looks like a step. Man will Vegeta be pissed that I found an easy way down the mountain... It wasn't there before though::
He moved over to the location of the steps and looked down pondering the safety of his descent. "Well, I better take a look to see where they lead, I'll come back for Krillin."
Yamchua carefully walked down the steps, while walking he heard strange creature like sounds. It was like the amazon rain forest, the moisture in the air coupled with the warm atmosphere, every no and then he would hear soft bird whistles ::this reminds me of the camping trip I took with Francine, ah what an adventure and I'm not talking about the outdoors. If me and Bulma didn't have that fight that week I wouldn't have met Francine, I guess you can find the good in all situations::
Lost in thought he walked aimlessly through the woods. A figure lurked in the shadow of the trees watching his every move. The snapping of a twig brought him from his trip down memory lane. "Is someone out there?!" There was no answer "I mean you no harm......"
Chichi stooped in her hidden position and watched Yamchua while he slowly took careful steps around a towering tree to find his stalker :: I wonder if he is himself now. What am I going to do? Did he follow me down here? ::
She picked up a piece of tree limb as protection and decided that the only way to find out if he is a friend or foe is to confront him. Slowly, but determined Chichi stood, "AHHHH!!.." Was the war like scream heard while she charged towards her childhood friend.

dog-demon3:- the area where the cells are located are filled with hidden mechanical devices. These devices only affect males (obviously), and cause them to hallucinate. (you know like sometimes when you're drunk you see things that are not there. Have you ever been drunk, I haven't but I hear people talk). So, these hallucinations corresponds with the nursery rhyme in each cell. The rhyme says
A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree
(the girls are the sparrow-a type of bird- O.K. So they are not in a tree so you can ignore that part.)
And she chirruped, she chirruped, so merry was she;
(now here lies the 'hint' as to how they-the girls-will be able to get out of their cell, by whistling)
A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow.
' This little cock sparrow shall make me a stew and
Her giblets shall make me a pie too' ;
(these lines refer to Vegeta, Krillin and Yamchua. They went hunting for food and so seeing the sparrows a.k.a. Bulma, Chichi and 18 they want to kill and eat them.)
' Oh no !' Said the little cock sparrow, ' I won't make a stew.'
So she flapped her wings and away she flew.
(Now the girls can't very well just stand by and get eaten so they have to escape, right.)
:-AN: Please tell me u understand now. If not then tell me the exact word/paragraph u don't understand and I'll explain.
