Author's Note: This may seem weird at first, and even possibly a little boring, but hey, if anyone ever saw the Exorcist they would know that it doesn't get very interesting until the little girl's head starts spinning around! Like I like to say: Patience is a virtue, be virtuous.

The span of time can prove to create a metamorphosis of character. Perhaps a person becomes weaker as they age. Or by chance they become stronger. However, let the reader know, that two years have passed.

Honto kept a good bar. Every planet in the galaxy knew this. It was clean, had good music and the beverages were first class. Positioned on Adria, a planet of the Aura galaxy, Honto also had good business. There was heavy commerce from the Greden galaxy that passed through Adria in order to get to Freda, Adria's neighboring planet. They traded in chromium, selica and mitochron. Life was good for a man like Honto. Traders could get rowdy, that was true, but never dangerous.

So he now he stood behind the counter, finding he didn't like the idea of Corinths in his bar. There were two of them, sitting in the far corner of the place, away from the music and everyone else. Corinths had a heavy reputation for trouble, and they were drinking heavy amounts of Gentura.

Honto shook his head and nodded to Botts. The big Adrian stepped up to the bar. Honto had hired Botts for two things. His size and his ability to fight.

"Yeah boss?" Honto nodded ever so slightly to the Corinths.

"Keep an eye on those two, will ya? I don't need problems tonight, we've got a big transport coming in from Han and I want this place to be in one piece." Botts turned slowly and looked around, long enough to see the Corinths. He turned back to Honto and a smirk lit up his green face.

"Don't worry Honto, they won't be a problem. They try to pull something... and I'll pull something!" The two Adrians chuckled and Honto nodded Botts away.

It was then that the door opened, and she entered. Honto turned to look upon her and found he'd been struck breathless. She was a picture, that was for sure. Knee high black boots, red body suit that revealed enough cleavage for Honto to drool. Around her waist was a black utility belt that held a blaster. She wore a black hooded cloak, but as of now, the hood wasn't on her head. A glorious head she had, that was for sure. Blue hair that draped down her back in layer upon layer of cascading locks. Her body rivaled that of a goddess and Honto found himself leaning on the counter, staring right at her without a care. That was before he shrunk back, after seeing what followed her.

It was enormous! What a beast, if he'd ever seen one! A blazing orange creature with white fangs and huge paws. It strode in behind the woman without a qualm. The woman strode up to the bar and sat at the counter. Honto stepped over to her, trying not to tremble.

"Uh, listen lady, no animals." With that the monstrosity standing beside her growled its protest.

"I think you could make an exception," she offered. Honto looked to the beast and back to her. He found that before he could do anything, his head was shaking a yes in reply. The woman smiled, revealing a set of blinding white teeth.

"Um, what will it be?"

"Chimera wants water, put it in a bowl please. I'll have Kryo." Honto nodded with a smile. Kryo meant she had money. He could use a high paying customer.

"It'll be 13," he said. She nodded and turned to Chimera, stroking his head. "Um, lady," Honto added. She turned around to him again, crystal blue eyes drowning him. "You gotta pay first, for Kryo that is."

"Oh," she said. She slipped a hand into a pocket of her belt and pulled out the amount. "Forgive me." She said, grinning. She handed him the money and his hand brushed against her own as he took it.

"But of course," he said, returning her grin.

'Ugh, what scum,' she thought to Chimera.

'Yes well, he's nothing to worry about. The two Corinths are in the corner and they've got their eye on you.'

'Well I've got my eye on them. Two is no problem, they'll be easy.'

'Drinks are here.'

Honto handed her the bowl of water which she placed on the floor for Chimera. Then he gave her the Kryo.

Bulma sat at the bar, finally relieved of the annoying bartender, who had stepped off to the side. He was now chatting with his bouncer, and both were obviously discussing her. Bulma shook her head and looked to Chimera who had finished his water. She down the Kryo and smiled.

'Funny thing, that bastard actually serves good drinks.' Chimera nodded.

'They've finished their drinks. I do believe they are approaching you.'

'Let them come.' Bulma said, sitting up. She could feel their presence. Their stench was suffocating, but then again, as of late her senses had become heightened by Chimera.

"You boys need something?" She said coyly, turned around slowly. They were big Corinths, each adorned with the trademarked three-nostrilled nose.

'Is there anything beautiful in all this ugliness Chimera?'

'I believe you're the only thing as of now that comes to mind.'

The taller one snorted through all three nostrils and turned his head to the side, spitting out blue mucus. Bulma couldn't have been more repulsed.

"Yeah bitch, we need something." He said, crossing his arms over his chest. The shorter one grinned displaying a set of yellow fangs that dripped with saliva.

"Yeah, that something we need is you baby!" They both chuckled together. Bulma's face did not hint of any emotion.

"Hey, what the fuck are you guys trying to do? Harassing a customer? I think you two had better leave." Botts had strode up and had now set a firm hand on the taller Corinth's shoulder. Bulma sighed.

'Big mistake buddy.'

'Hopefully they won't kill him.'

'He really can't help his ignorance Chimera. Why don't we stop this. His bravado will not save his life.'

'As you wish.' With that Bulma stood up.

"I advise you move out of the way," she said calmly to Botts. The bouncer's eyes went wide with confusion.

"Listen sweetheart, these two could give you some problems. Just lemme get rid of them."

"Please just..." Too late. The tall one had gingerly knocked Botts across the room and the big Adrian was now lying against the wall in pain. Bulma growled, that really pissed her off. She took off her cloak and stepped forward.

"You boys don't know when to stop do you?" She said. The Corinths grinned.

"What bitch? Think that your little pet can save you from us?"

"No," she said. "I'll save myself."

'Ready Chimera?'

'Of course.'

A white ball of energy formed between her palms. The Corinths looked at it in surprise. She raised the small object above her head and let it down. Instead of exploding at her feet it leveled out and went in between the too antagonists. Then, it split in two and impacted both of the awe struck Corinths in the side. They slowly disintegrated each with pain filled expressions as they watched their bodies turn to dust and then they were no more.

Bulma sighed and turned to the bartender. She nodded to Botts.

"Will he be all right?" Honto could only nod. "Very well then. Sorry about that, here's 10 for the mess." She handed him the money and then picked up her cloak. Putting it on she turned to leave.

"Hey wait a sec," Honto said, finally finding his voice. "Who are you?" Bulma paused and slowly turned around.

'Should I tell him?'

'Why shouldn't you?'

'Very well.'

"I'm Bulma Briefs and this is Chimera. That is all you need to know."

'Let us go to Freda, Chimera, Gangus should be there waiting.' Bulma kneeled down and put her hand on Chimera's enormous head.

Every creature who sat in the bar watched on in amazement as she and the beautiful beast quickly faded away and were gone. Seconds afterwards, the transport from Han filed in, and Honto had too much to think about to worry over Bulma. However, those that had been there could only sit in deep contemplation. Botts, who finally recovered, rubbing his sore jaw walked up to Honto. All he could say was:

"What a woman!"

****

They appeared in his office suddenly and he suppressed a surprised gasp. The blue-haired beauty and the orange beast stood before him in all their glory. Gangus smiled in welcome.

"Glad to see you've returned Bulma."

"Payment in full Gangus, they're dead."

"Yes, so my censors tell me, you did very well my dear. The sum was?"

"20 K," she replied.

"Very well," he said. With that he pressed a few numbers into the console that served as his desk. A slot emitted the amount given and Gangus handed it to Bulma. "I look forward to doing more business with you Bulma. You and Chimera are good employees."

"I don't work for you, Gangus. I work for myself."

"Oh please do forgive me Bulma, I meant nothing by it, you know that!" Gangus found himself quite nervous whenever she got angry. He wouldn't want to tangle with her, or that giant cat.

"Contact me in one week Bulma, and I'll have a new target for you."

"All right. Anything else Gangus?" He looked up in confusion and then added with a smile:

"Be careful." She grinned and touched Chimera. Gangus watched in astonishment as the two disappeared in front of his eyes.

"I wish I knew how they do that!" He said, leaning back in his seat.

Home, they were finally home! Or at least, Bulma's new home. It hadn't taken Chimera very long to find a suitable place. It was a beautiful little planet, just outside of the Milky Way galaxy. It was called Remina and there wasn't much on it. All of the creatures that inhabited it had limited intelligence, much like the animals of Earth. With Chimera's help, Bulma soon constructed a workable home. Then, as they discovered more and more of space and Bulma started making money, they had added on. Soon, their makeshift hut became close to a palace. Remina was under the Condor protection policy. This meant that it was neutral planet and so there weren't many visitors. Who ever did decide to conquer it usually came face to face with Bulma and they soon left, whether it be running away, or as was usual, in a body bag.

Chimera had taken them straight to her bedroom. She sighed and once more removed her cloak. Then she fell onto the bed. Chimera jumped up onto it as well. Bulma had made her bed humongous, to fit her enormous friend. She stroked his head and opened her mind. She loved conversation with Chimera, it never exhausted her like talking did.

'Can I trust Gangus?'

'Yes, very much. You frighten him, he shall not try and meddle with you.'

'That's good.'

'Do you want to wait a week for the next target, or should we contact Sed?'

'Let's wait. If Sed comes up with someone, he'll contact me. I'm tired.'

'Yes, you should be. You've taken down 5 targets in 3 days.'

'Only with your help.'

The first thing that Bulma had discovered when she and Chimera came to live together was the power Chimera harnessed. It had soon been explained to her that Chimera did have much power, but he could only release it through a creature of perfection. That was her and so, they soon began to train. For a whole year Bulma learned Chimera's power, which he transferred and thus released through her. While she learned, Chimera had gotten rid of the targets. He was an amazingly strong beast even without the use of his power. Soon Bulma had learned to channel it, and then she had taken care of their targets.

'Are you happy Bulma?' That one made her think. Chimera didn't usually question her happiness.

'I'm alive Chimera. I might not be happy, but you make me... You make me feel better.'

'I'm glad to hear that Bulma. I'm sorry that you aren't happy.'

'Well...we can't have everything now can we?'

'No, we certainly can't.'
