T: Good.
B/V/K!-
Karara watched the ship head off into the distance as her, Miss. Bulma, and Mr. Geta headed onward to their mission to retrieving the Dragonball. "Miss. Bulma, do you think Mommy Venux and Papa Trunks are going to be all right?" Karara asked as worry was evident in her tone of voice. "I promise they will be fine. Just don't worry because today we are going to have so much fun!" Bulma said as she looked over her shoulder. Vegeta was leading the way as Bulma and Karara followed. Bulma planned on going to have a picnic later in the day as a surprise to the child.
"Really?" asked the lil' girl. Bulma nodded yes. Karara's smile brightened. "Well all right." Vegeta smirked as he listened to the 2 following him. Over time he had gotten very fond of Karara. He had found himself almost looking upon her as his own daughter at times. Bulma turned her attention to her Mate. "Hey Vegeta, how much further til' we reach the Dragonball?" she called out to him. "Woman, we have another 600 miles to travel. I estimate 12 more hours to go." Vegeta called back to her. Bulma let out a sigh. She never minded the adventure so much. What got to her was all this beyond boring traveling to get to the fun.
Somewhere Close To Our Heroines!-
A 5'5, green skinned, yellow eye voodoo tropical dressed man stumbled to the river. He feel upon his knees and greedily drank the much needed water. This creature was on a desperate mission. His name is Cobalt, the last of his people, the Tikins. Cobalt, after drinking his fill, fell upon his back and stared up at the mid-day sun. He slowly closed his eyes and started to drift back to the whole reason for being here.
Long ago he lived on a the planet called Takidai. It was a beautiful planet and flourished in forest beauty. It was much like the primitive Earth millions of years ago. Pure, innocent, and untouched. Life was peaceful there. And life flourished with many blessings. However this tale of his home has a tragic twist. N one could've foreseen the horrible future that laid ahead of them. The beginning of this destruction came when Cooler landed upon the planet and enslaved the Tikins. Such a sad tale of innocents lost and horrors a peaceful race was to endure.
The Tikins did not stand a chance. They were one by one slaughtered mercilessly. The men killed, the women raped and beaten, and the children denied life and slowly vanished into the shadows of night with on a cry and then silence. Under Cooler's reign, life was only a false hope. It seemed that the peaceful planet was only a myth as every Tikins only knew pain and suffering. How cruel fate's hand must be. And then Cooler drained the dying planet of all it's resources and as the Cold family has done so many times before with planets no longer required useful for their empire, he disposed of it and stared killing off every single Tikin. Until one day, Cooler was killed and his empire reign free. Cobalt went to go look for his planet and people and only come to find his home destroyed, his family slaughtered, and he was the only survivor left.
He had cried bitter tears and knew his home was lost. How tragic it was for him. But then there was a light in the darkness. A faint glimmer of hope. He had stumbled upon a legend. The legend of the infamous Dragonballs. And that is when he knew, he knew if he collected them that he would have his home, his family, and even his life back. So for the last year, he had been wondering the universe to go find the Dragonballs. So far, he had 4 and he only needed 4 more, then he could have his prize. Cobalt laid in the soft white grass and tried to clear his mind.
He could sense there was a Dragonball on this planet. What he found intriguing was that the other remaining 3 Dragonballs were right on this planet as well. And even more ironic that it was fastly approaching towards the isolated Dragonball that as well resided on this planet. Then Cobalt shot up. They were heading along this path and straight for him and pretty soon he heard singing in the distance coming closer.
Cobalt quickly jumped up and hid in the trees, thankfully the trees concealed him just as Bulma and Vegeta stopped the bikes and pulled over. "Miss. Bulma, why have we stopped?" Karara asked as she looked at Bulma confused. "Because, we need to rest and have a picnic." Bulma told her smiling. "A picnic!" Karara cried excitedly. Vegeta smirked at the child's excitement. Vegeta really had grown fond of her. And an actual smiled spread on his face as he pulled out the picnic capsule and helped Bulma set up the picnic.
The trio was defiantly unaware of Cobalt peering at them from the tree top and gazing directly at them below. He hid his ki so that even Kami himself could not detect him. He sensed the Dragonball were all in the small pill device in a box on Bulma's hip. But how is that possible? Didn't matter, he would steal the box and figure out later the location of the Dragonballs. Now for the billion dollar question, how?
Cobalt needed to distract them, so he could snatch the box. But how could he do that? Then an idea struck him, he could get the child keep them busy and then he would get the box. All he needed was time and patients. Bulma distributed the food between the 3, but amazingly enough she had taken the greater portion without realizing it and began to eat it at a fast, rapid pace. Karara and Vegeta stared at Bulma awestruck. How could she eat that much and still look hungry for more?
Vegeta let out a chuckle and his smirk deepened as his heart filled with pride. His son was defiantly a Saiyan. Karara sat closely to Vegeta. She was so happy. It seemed she had gotten through to him and he was going to be her friend. "What are you so happy about?" Vegeta asked as he noticed Karara smiling up at him. "Nothing." she replied. Bulma looked between the 2 and her eyes soften. Karara had finally gotten through the icicy walls to her Vegeta.
"Miss. Bulma, do you think we can play a game before we go search for the Dragonball again?" the child asked. Bulma smiled. "Sure, what game do you want to play?" she asked. Karara pondered on this for a moment before she shrugged. Bulma as well pondered til' an idea struck her. "I know!" Bulma pulled out one of her capsules and opened her capsule house and then she went inside, leaving Vegeta and Karara puzzled. Cobalt watched in amazement. Bulma quickly returned with a baseball bat, baseball, and 2 catcher gloves. Vegeta and Karara gave her confused looks. "Woman, what is that?" Vegeta questioned. "We are gonna play catch and I'm gonna show Karara how to hit a baseball!" Bulma smiled. "What's a baseball?" both Karara and Vegeta asked.
Bulma's smiled widen. This was all too good. "All right, I'll show you in a min." Bulma capsulize the house and put it in her capsule box. As she left her belt on the blanket with the forgotten picnic. Cobalt then seized the capsules. Bulma lead the 2 a fair distance away from the picnic for she knew if Vegeta was going to play, space was a definite.
"All right, Karara you hold onto the bat like this." Bulma instructed as she helped Karara position the bat. Then Bulma took a good feet away from her. "All right, I'm going to throw this at you and keep your eye on the ball. When you think your close enough to hit it, swing the bat and hit the ball out of the park!" Bulma smiled. "Do you understand?" Bulma put on her mitt and Karara nodded her head yes once again. Then Bulma threw the ball. Karara narrowed her eyes and swung. She did more than hit ball out of the park. She hit it over 5 miles behind Bulma at super speed. Both Bulma and Vegeta's mouths dropped completely open. "Holy Shit!" Bulma breathed.
"Vegeta your gonna pitch!" Bulma cried as she hid behind him. Vegeta snorted at her pathetic attempt to hide. "Women, and you call yourself brave." "Do you want your son born healthy or still born, because if I get hit, it might kill him!" Bulma yelled at him. Vegeta rolled his eyes and muttered "Weakling." as he placed a catcher's mitt on his hand and grabbed the extra ball his Mate handed him and stood before a very confused Karara.
"All right lil 'one this is how it's gonna go. This time I want you to hit harder. I want to at least get a workout from this. I am going to try and catch every hit you take at this stupid baseball game. Understand?" Vegeta ordered. "Yes, Mr. Geta." Karar smiled. Now Bulma just sat in the white grass as she watched every super speed ball caught by Vegeta and every time Karara hit harder and farther the call came in contact with her ball.
And while this was going on, Cobalt stole the capsule with the Dragonballs in Bulma's capsule box. As it seemed the group was distracted, he took off with the Dragonballs. As the day proceeded to move on. Bulma decided to call off the game so they could find their travel for the next Dragonballs.
That night!-
Bulma held in her hands the 3ed star Dragonball that Vegeta had retrieved from the 3 feet beneath the Planet's crust. Bulma held it in her hands and smiled happily. "We did it you guys! Not too many left for us to collect!" Bulma cried happily. Vegeta smiled at his Mate's happiness. He was glad to make her happy. There was lil' of that in his Mate's life. "YIPPI! WE DID IT!" Karara cried. "Enough, lets set up camp because I'm hungry!" both girls rolled her eyes at Vegeta' comment, but did as he wanted.
T: Oh come on! You are not serious! Now I'm gonna have to kill that Mutha!
B: Trunks, you don't have to do anything.
V: Woman…-evil look-
