T: Well Recap is drugged up and taking a nap. I am gonna go train in my personal GR. So you peeps, just read and review story!
Cooler!-
A beautiful saffire gem glowed magnificently in all of her glory as the black abyss surrounded her angelic form. "Beautiful is it not?" asked Cooler as he stared out at the proud Earth in all of her wonders. Her beauty radiated the darkness as the stars complimented her valiantly features. "Such big trouble over a small thing. Trivial as it may seem, but I hate to destroy such beauty. And this, this rare gem would have made a very prized addition to my collection. If it had not been tainted by those fools!" Funny, how so many lives would be destroyed, devastated to the end of the beauty before me. But justice must be made."
Cooler stared at the reflection of the Earth. They had arrived a mere 2 days ago. Such a shame that all of this must occur. But without wrong, there can not be any justice to right. Thus, I continue this story. Cooler smirked evilly. All too easy for him. They suppressed their ki power, as to not rise any suspsion on the small planet.
Cooler was more than prepared. He would not make the same mistake his Father and younger brother had once done and venture on the planet for proper revenge. Instead, he wanted to take the effective, cowardly way out. He would o what Frieza had done to Vegeta-sei all those years ago.
Cooler turned his back from the reflection and began to head towards the docking bay of the ship. Where eh would be exposed to the outside of the ship and the elements of space. Cooler undid the latch and was sucked out into the nothingness void. He floated next to the ship and overlooked the Earth. "I will indeed miss the pleasure of your beauty. As a flower must bloom in spring, come into the fall, it too must parish. Farwell young gem." he whispered to the planet as a giant ki formed in hand and launched it at the planet.
On impact from the assault, the planet glowed to an ugly red, cries of thousands being sent to the after life, as it slowly crumbled and cracked. A magnificent display of explosions took part and then only silence. Dust and debris floated in space as Cooler and his crew watched in awe. IT was truly breath taking beyond words. Such beauty comes with a heavy price. Cooler smiled in spite of himself. "Indeed, I wonder what those fools will think when they come to realize the destruction of their home." he pondered.
Cooler headed inside the ship. He would confront them another day. But let them find his surprise from them and we shall see the battle. "Sire, where to now?" "To my home, Planet Cold" came his reply. "Yes sire. We will head there at once." came the guards affirmative orders.
B/V/T/VE/K!-
For the last couple of days, everything was a bit tense. Vegeta stayed away from everyone. Til' he come to realize Trunks could fight and so the two would become sparring partners. In a small sort of way, it was when Vegeta would actually got a chance at getting to know Trunks. It was a small step towards meeting him halfway, but an attempt none the less. You could say that Trunks was also taking a small step as well to meet Vegeta.
When they were in the GR, they would have the most personal conversations. It was strange, Trunks was used to the way of keeping things bottled up. But ever since he and his Dad were training, he had someone who could relate to his pain. And so, they continued to have conversations, but this was all but a secret between the two. Which more than suited them both. Meanwhile with Bulma and Venux, Bulma had come to learn many things dealing with Trunks' and Venux's pasts.
IT was sad really. Growing up afraid and terrified to see if you were gonna live to see the next day. So much pain and suffering. So many times of pain and lives being torn. It truly was a miracle indeed to find they have survived this long. But Venux got something from Bulma as well. She finally got to meet the person Trunks spoke so fondly of. She was everything he had described. Venux, for so long wished to have a motherly figure to look to and here she was.
And for Karara, she was having the most fun. She had her own room, good food, and she got to spend time with her parents and Miss. Bulma. The only downside to her lil' world was to get close to the Prince. She felt such coldness from him. He intrigued her. He had caught her interest. Now mind you, most children would be terrified of the might Prince Vegeta, yet he did not scare her, only wanted her to see his true nature.
Vegeta was not evil and he most certainly was not a wicked man. So the category Karara put him under was a loner. He doesn't open much. Perhaps that was because he didn't have a friend. So now she had a goal in mind. To become the weird hair man's friend. But we will get into the perhaps later into the story. As of now, it had a been a week and as of yesterday, Bulma had gotten word that they should be arriving on Earth in 12 hours. So might as well get a good night's sleep. Come tomorrow, they would come to the site of Earth and soon be landing.
Morning!
Bulma slowly opened her eyes. Today, they would be landing on Earth. She felt a strange sort of sadness wash over her. Her adventure was over before it began. True, she had a bit of excitement when they were captured by Cooler. But now, she must go back and agree to the requirements her Father demanded of her not too long ago. Oh how ironically cruel the fates were to her.
But she at least made some new friends and got to hear about her future and lets not forget to know her child. It was strange really…Bulma looked over her digital clock on her dresser by her bed. "12:30...great. Perfect time to get up." she moaned to herself. She felt so comfortable. But she did have to get up. So Bulma sat up and stretched her arms over her head in bed.
She stared out sleepily in the darkness of her room. Good thing she made it computer operated. "Computer, open shades and start my shower." "Good Morning Miss. Bulma and right away Miss. Bulma." came the computer's voice as it sprung to life. Bulma heard the hot water start in her personal bathroom and the shades to the windows were drawn opened. Bulma came to a horrific site to say the least.
There in the middle of a debris planet. Pieces of Earth, people, animals, buildings, and anonymous objects floated all around the ship. Bulma could not believe what she was seeing. Then she let out a scream as a remain of what appeared a human fell on her window. It's eyes were still opened and frozen as blood stuck onto him. At that moment Vegeta and Trunks burst through the door to see what was the matter. Venux and Karara followed in suit.
"Bulma, what is…OH MY GOD!" Venux panicked as she shielded the child away from the window. "Venux, get Karara out of here." Trunks cried. By now, Vegeta was holding a hysterical Bulma. Trunks ran and pulled the shades shut. "What happened?" he asked looking at the 2. Bulma was sobbing on Vegeta's shoulders as he held her. "Brat, does it look like I know!" Trunks sighed. "Look, I will go and find out what happened. You go and take care of Mom." then he left before Vegeta could strike up and argument.
Later!-
So many tears and yet to no avail can her home come back. Who would do this? Who would destroy something so vulnerable…so pure? Bulma felt her whole world crumbling down and she felt so guilty. She left her parents on such bad terms and gotten them killed. There was no doubt in her mind that Cooler had done this. But how did he know they were from Earth and how is it he had beat them to the punch? They had after all gotten a head start. To her, all was lost.
After crying on Vegeta's shoulders, she decided to take a long bath to sort out her problems as the rest decided to investigate the crime scene. But they all knew the answer, Cooler did this. But why he was not after them yet they had wondered and they only conclusion was that he didn't know where they were or if they would come back.
"Poor Bulma." Venux said after a long, deep silence. All 3 sat around the table while Bulma was in the bath and Trunks put Karara down for a nap. "What are we going to do now?" she asked looking at Vegeta and Trunks. Yet again, more silence. "I have a plan." finally came the answer from Vegeta.
