Chapter FOUR: Sea of Green

By Hisoka B

Vegeta was well aware with what happened earlier. But it seemed to be something like a undying demon in his head of the fact that he had held the woman. What also bothered him was that Yamucha had warned him not to pull any moves on his girl. Not that he was afraid of Yamucha, not in history, but something was there, plaguing mind… and a horrible idea popped into is head popped the fact that maybe he was starting to like Bulma...

Vegeta quickly wiped the thought out of his mind. That is outrageous! He thought. It was now night and Vegeta didn't want to sleep or rest yet because he still wanted to train. But when Bulma appeared on the gravity TV screen yelling at him to take rest, he gave in and listened.

Bulma herself listened in her bed as Vegeta's light flicked off. She was too afraid to sleep because she was too afraid the nightmare would continue itself. She told herself to be strong, and would silently wait till night was over. But sleep and dreams weren't going to allow her to get away that easily, and she came to the dream again.

Bulma woke up into her nightmare. She stared at her surroundings. It was dark, and she barely could make out that it was the beach. (Beach at night,) She heard fire behind her and turned to see Chibi Vegeta toasting fish. There was a little light coming from the fire.

'Huh?' She fell back onto the sand, shocked. 'Where am I? What happened? Wasn't I meant to die?'

Chibi Vegeta lifted his head slowly. 'You were going to die woman, until I saved you. I killed the ugly creature. I know this planet and their race. I had to learn all this stuff as the Saiyan prince. I know about Earth and you human beings, but I never told father back then. I am a suspicious punk.'

'Then what planet are we on?' Bulma asked suspiciously.

'Planet Delairia. A pretty nice planet that sort of reminds you of Earth. Its race are nature lovers and build everything out of wood. But trees here grow 50 times faster than ones on Earth. But the race is called Pullouti's. It is rather ironic, woman, but accept the fact that they are geniuses and can create anything out of wood. Ironically, they are a rather vicious race though. More vicious then us Saiyans, and yes, that is a fact. Pullo's, they are usually called instead of using the longer term Pullouti. Pullo's do not give mercy, but they are not that fit or strong to be actual warriors. They use machines to do the fighting, a little like you humans,' Chibi Vegeta shrugged as Bulma made herself believe that a child could know so much. 'They look terrible too. Green slime is their blood.'

Bulma covered her mouth. 'Vegeta! –I mean my prince, what are we going do now? I think our space pod is probably completely destroyed.'

'I thought we were going to 'go on' woman. To say the absolute truth, I would have rather gone to the planet Helldeath. We were just unlucky I didn't recognize the Planet Delairia back in the space pod…'

'Well, it's a little too late for that now.' Bulma cursed as she watched the waters on the beach slop over each other.

Walking over to the water, she only realized then that it was red.

'Vegeta,' She stuttered. 'Isn't this...'

'Blood?' Vegeta answered, raising his eyebrow and started to eat fish. Bulma vomited in disgust, before cleaning herself up and going back to Chibi Vegeta.

Chibi Vegeta handed her a fish, which she rejected.

'I would rather you eat woman, or you'll regret it soon.' Chibi Vegeta told her. Listening to his advice, Bulma took the fish and started to chew. It didn't take her long before she realized that the fish was quite tasty. 'Mmm...Vegeta, my! You are quite the fabulous cook!'

Chibi Vegeta smirked as he had finished. He laid back on his back and watched the night sky. He knew a lot about the stars and the constellations, and knew where Planet Vegeta-sei formally lay. He was, still a small child, but he knew so much...

Chibi Vegeta swore revenge on Frieza, but knew he couldn't, at least not yet defeat him. His only companion was the woman ... But that was not the thing that bothered him.

Bulma put out the fire when she had finished eating the fish. Her pupils quickly adjusted but she seemed to have lost track of Chibi Vegeta.

'Vegeta…where are you?' She asked.

'Here woman.' He answered as Bulma squinted her eyes to see Chibi Vegeta lying in the sand and staring up at the sky. Feeling vulnerable, she struggled over to him and laid down beside him. Chibi Vegeta didn't move, as for his gaze was fixed up with the sky.

Bulma looked up into the sky to see what was up there that could possibly interest the Prince of Saiyans and saw nothing except stars and more stars.

'Vegeta, what the hell are you looking at?' She asked, putting her hands behind her head.

Chibi Vegeta closed his eyes before answering. 'There is so much about the night sky that I don't know about woman. And there is so much to know… And I wish to know them. See that star shape that looks like an arrow? That's Sagittarius. I can see the planet Earth too, just barely.'

'Ooh ooh ooh! Show me where planet Earth is as well.' Bulma begged.

Chibi Vegeta sighed. 'See that star close to the constellation Archeries?'

'What's the constellation Archeries?' Bulma asked.

Vegeta scowled. 'The star nearest to the crescent moon.'

'Oh I see it,' Bulma admired and saw Archeries before trailing its tail to see planet Earth. Speaking of tails, her eyes came down the brown furry tail that was usually wrapped around his waist. But now the tail was pointing up into the sky, and Chibi Vegeta stared in its direction.

What could he possibly be staring at? Bulma wondered. Chibi Vegeta seemed to have heard her thoughts and answered.

'That is the spot where planet Vegeta-sei used to occupy.'

Bulma watched silently as what she could just make out a salty tear ran down Chibi Vegeta's face.

Bulma saw the pain in the young boy's eyes. Poor Chibi Vegeta. He's homesick. Besides, he is only a child... She sat up, quickly followed by Chibi Vegeta who shed another tear or two. He tried his best not to allow Bulma to see it, but it was too late.

'Oh Vegeta,' Bulma sighed. 'What you really need is a mother. You're out here now and it's okay to cry. It won't hurt anyone but yourself if you keep it in. Nobody except me will see you cry, so let those tears flow…' She said comfortably as she hugged the young Vegeta tight.

Chibi Vegeta knew she was right, and tears soon came down like rain.

Bulma thoughts overflowed her as she hugged Chibi Vegeta. The poor kid. I bet he doesn't even know what it feels like to be loved…wait a sec…did I say…loved? Well Chibi Vegeta did seem to have a brute childhood, the poor boy…

A few minutes past as Bulma consoled Chibi Vegeta like she was his mother when a distant blast came from across the Blood Sea. It barely missed them.

Chibi Vegeta was up in a flash in a fighting stance, getting out of Bulma's embrace. Bulma was somewhat disappointed, but afraid, nonetheless.

Another blast came, but this time it was towards them. Chibi Vegeta deflected it with a ki blast of his own. Then, they saw what seemed to be like a spreading meadow come across the Blood Sea.

'Oh my god!' Bulma exclaimed. 'The sea is turning green!'

'It's not turning green woman, it's the Pullo's. They know I am strong, and now they know they've got their whole army up against me. It will soon be a battle, me against an army of Pullo's with beam guns, death to death.'

'You never told me they could fly!'

'So what? Even if I told you that it's not going to help us now against that army of Pullo's. But still I could beat them. I shall end their time of misery…'

'But you are out numbered…'

'It does not matter. I can take them…' Chibi Vegeta sounded confident as the green wave of Pullo's which came closer in across the sea.
