A Prince and His Queen
Vegeta's a prince and Bulma's a third class saiyan living on Planet Vegeta. What happens when the two must join together to stop Frieza from destroying their planet? Will they succeed or will they immensely fail? A Bulma and Vegeta romance.
Author Notes:
Before I begin, I have to say that I've changed some things. Bulma is a saiyan, not human. Vegeta is a prince and King Vegeta is still alive for the time being. This story takes place when everyone is about in the range of 17 or 18. Goku is in my story as well along with Bardock. Goku is a third class saiyan as well as Bulma and for this story, I'm calling him by his real name Kakarot. Chi-Chi is a saiyan as well and will come into the story at a later time. And I'm still giving Goku Kakarot his sense of goofiness. I just couldn't write him without it! He will however, be serious at times too. And I know that Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta when Vegeta was a kid, not teenager, but I change several things in this Fic.
I forgot to mention where Raditz is, he's off on a mission to destory a planet. You know how King Vegeta sends a saiyan every once and a while to take over or destory a planet? Well that's where Raditz is, he'll come in later in the story. Sorry for the wait!
Disclaimer: Do you really think I own DBZ or any of its characters? Well, I don't, plain and simple.
Chapter 4- The Battle Commences
Prince Vegeta flew across the sky, looking down at the cities as he went. First class warriors loomed the area along with various guards. Something was unquestionably wrong and he had to find out. He remembered his father speaking about Area B of the third classes and decided to head over that way.
The sky became murkier as he went, making it hard to breathe. He could hear explosions near by and wondered from who the source was. He peered back over down at Area B of the third classes and noticed a smoky building in the distance. Quickly, he began descending toward the building.
The smoke was even thicker once he landed and breathing was next to impossible. He started to turn back when the thought of the possibility of bad guys being there popped into the prince's mind. If not anything else, maybe killing off this 'evil' would get his father's approval of him.
He entered the building and gave a cough before calling out, "If anyone's here, I'm giving them to the count of five to exit. Exiting now will result in less pain, for you that is." He gave a smirk and continued searching through the house. Suddenly, he heard a cough near by and headed for that room.
He peered into what appeared to be the kitchen of the house where out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a teenage girl. The girl gave another cough then was silent once again. He was about to turn around to leave when the girl called out, "Kakarot," She spoke hoarsely.
Prince Vegeta stopped in his tracks and looked back into the kitchen. Who was this Kakarot she spoke of? Being curious, he decided to answer back. "Who are you?"
The girl was silent then finally answered moments later, "That..." She gave a cough, "all depends..."
Prince Vegeta felt himself growing angry. Here he was attempting to make conversation with her and she was copping an attitude? And with the Prince of Saiyans no less!
"How dare you address me like that?! Do you know who I am?!" Prince Vegeta yelled.
The girl was quiet again then spoke, "No, who…are you?"
The frown on Prince Vegeta softened a bit, but not by much. "I'm Prince Vegeta, son of King Vegeta. Now answer my question at once or I'll have you killed!"
"I'm Bulma Briefs from Area A of the third class," She replied, giving another cough. She closed her eyes again, slipping into unconsciousness once again.
Prince Vegeta watched in astonishment and pure curiosity. He wondered if he should help but then remembered the bad guys again and decided against it. Here on Planet Vegeta, it was every saiyan for himself...
Kakarot looked down below him where smoke and explosions filled the air. He tightened the grip that he was giving his hands as he watched the horror. Down below him was Area A of the third classes; it was where Bulma had stayed along with her parents. He only hoped that if she wasn't alive, at least her parents were. He looked forward to his father, "Father."
Bardock was silent for a moment then finally spoke, "Yes Kakarot?"
"Do you think, Bulma's...alive?" Kakarot struggled with his words, hoping they wouldn't be true.
Bardock was silent once more, as if he was in doubt himself. Or maybe it was that he knew it was true... "I don't know, she may or may not be. However, we don't have the time to sit around and wait for her to wake up. If she is alive, she will find us herself."
Kakarot was silent as his father spoke. His eyes went wide and he flew straight up to his father, almost causing them to crash into each other, "What?!"
Bardock lifted an eyebrow then changed it to a glare, "Kakarot, move. The sooner we alert King Vegeta, the better. But we'll never get anywhere if you keep blocking my way!"
"You lied to me," Kakarot spoke.
Bardock's glare deepened. "What are you talking about?!"
"You said Bulma was no use to us anymore, you made it seem like she was dead when she really might not be at all!" The teenaged saiyan turned angrily away from his father. "If had known that, I wouldn't have left her!"
Bardock turned his son around harshly and stared deep into his eyes, "Would you listen to yourself?! You're worried about Bulma at a time like this? When the fate of Planet Vegeta is in danger?! I'm sorry I lied to you about Bulma, but we can't slow ourselves down by waiting on her! Only the strong survive Kakarot, and you know it."
Kakarot looked down, swallowing a large lump in his throat. What his father said was true, but he didn't want to believe it. He'd never forgive himself if Bulma was indeed alive and he had left her behind. To think was could happen to her...it made his mind boggle. With a heavy and sad sigh, he looked back up at his father. "Let's go."
Bardock nodded and continued on toward King Vegeta's castle. Kakarot lagged behind, he looked back toward the third class neighborhoods before taking off behind his father...
Prince Vegeta flew gracefully in the murky gray air all the same time wondering where and who this Frieza was. He looked down at the third class neighborhood where whole buildings were destroyed and families searched the streets looking for their loved ones. Whoever this Frieza might be, he currently hadn't wasted any time at all at attempting to destroy Planet Vegeta...
Suddenly, the prince stopped as he noticed a fairly weak ki coming from behind him. He stopped in mid-air. "I can sense your ki, whoever you might be." He slowly turned around to come face to face with a girl.
"I can sense yours too, aren't we special?" The girl replied sarcastically.
Prince Vegeta gasped as he realized that the girl was the same one that he had left earlier in Area B of the third classes. She was also the same third class saiyan who had come to his castle about a week ago. He narrowed his eyes at the response made by her. "Did I not tell you who you were dealing with, or did your puny brain forget it already?!"
Bulma gave a glare, "You're quite the charmer aren't you?"
Prince Vegeta snorted. "I don't waste my time charming when I could be killing. Now what do you want woman?!"
"I have a name, try using it," Bulma replied.
Prince Vegeta glared once more. "I don't have to address you by anything, I'm a Prince and you're nothing but a poor, weak, soft-hearted third class!"
Bulma clenched her fists together into a tight ball. "How dare you?! I can't believe you even call yourself a Prince, speaking to your own race like that as if we were some kind of-"
"Garbage," Prince Vegeta interrupted.
Bulma was silent and the two were in a stand still, neither speaking. Finally, Prince Vegeta spoke, "I don't have time to sit around talking to you all day; I've got things to do."
Bulma crossed her arms. "Go ahead then, I'm not stopping you."
Prince Vegeta rolled his eyes and glared at Bulma who was currently floating in his way. "Move woman."
"Make me," Bulma challenged.
With a harsh shove, Prince Vegeta pushed Bulma out of the way and began taking off.
Bulma rubbed a soar spot on her shoulder and cursed angrily, "Son of a bitch."
Kakarot continued flying in the direction of King Vegeta's castle with his father, his eyes cast downward. He couldn't help but feel sad as he thought about Bulma. He couldn't imagine what she was thinking at that exact moment if she really was alive. She probably hated his guts where ever she was...
Suddenly, Bardock came to a sharp halt, causing Kakarot to fly straight into him.
"Father?" He started, "Why did-" He cut off in the middle of his sentence as he looked up at what his father was staring at. A white and purple colored lizard like creature stood before them, his tail swerving to and fro. The creature's eyes were narrowed and his mouth was curled into an evil-like grin.
"Going somewhere monkeys?" The lizard creature asked.
Kakarot floated near his father, "Father, who is this?"
Bardock backed away slowly, pulling Kakarot with him. His eyes wore a look of horror and sheer terror on them as he did so. He didn't bother to answer Kakarot but only continued in slowly backing away.
The lizard creature gave a glare as he watched his next victims back away. He lifted up his finger and pointed it toward them. "You dare to run away from Lord Frieza?!" He spoke.
Kakarot's eyes went wide as he heard the name 'Frieza'. He turned back to Bardock. "Father, this is Frieza?!"
Bardock nodded weakly and froze in his place as Frieza continued to point a finger at the two third class saiyans.
"For that, you shall pay," Frieza continued on. His grin returned to his face and with the blink of an eye, he shot out a purple ki blast toward the two saiyans...
