Chapter SIX: Fate Intervenes.

By Hisoka B

Chibi Vegeta flew up into the night sky. Bulma watched with fear as she saw a couple of energy blasts fly up towards him. But the 10 year old boy seemed to know what he was doing and caught the blasts.

The Pullo's began to rise up into the air.

Chibi Vegeta started to prepare a large deadly Gallik Gun.

Bulma watched in horror as the purple beam started to form. The Pullo's didn't seem to be afraid as they kept ascending. Up, up, up, and closer to Chibi Vegeta who still wasn't ready with his blast yet.

Then, to Bulma's horror, it happened.

The Pullo's seemed to enclose on Chibi Vegeta who was still preparing his blast. Bulma heard him scream out in pain.

'Nooo! You said you wouldn't die!' Bulma yelled, as she started breathing heavily.

Soon, she couldn't see Chibi Vegeta, as the army of green gooey aliens were on him.

Then bang, Bulma watched, horrified as Chibi Vegeta descended, unconscious, into the blood sea. He landed with a large splash.

'Vegeta!' She yelled, hurrying as far as she could go on the beach's sand.

The evil Pullo's crackled evilly and Bulma was heartbroken.

'Those stupid, stupid vicious horrible aliens! They killed him!' Bulma's tears became uncontrollable as they ran down her cheeks.

Bulma awoke from her dreadful nightmare. They've killed Chibi Vegeta, Bulma realized she had been crying in her sleep as the cheeks were all puffy and wet. Those Pullouti asshole's. They killed…him…

Bulma's attention turned to the unconscious Vegeta who was lying peacefully in bed.

Suddenly, to her horrifying shock, she realized that his pulse was slowing down. 'No, no, not in reality too…' She stuttered as tears came effortlessly down her cheeks as she watched the pulse reader getting slower and slower…

Bang! The door to the room slammed open. Dr. Briefs and Goku entered. 'Hurry Dr. Briefs! I feel his ki dramatically dropping!' Goku shouted. Bulma's eyes went wide with shock. It was really happening. Suddenly the song 'one sweet day' starting to play automatically in her thoughts.

Dr. Briefs hurried to see what could be done to Vegeta in order to save him. Bulma huddled close to him and held his hands .

You can't go… She begged, as tears kept coming down. You can make it through this…Vegeta…you are not going to die on me…You're going to wake up and argue with me…an then… Bulma closed her eyes deeply as she pressed her face up with his, You're going to live Veggie head. You're going to live for ever… Goku's eyes went wide as he watched Bulma kiss Vegeta on the cheek.

You're going to make it through this… Bulma fell and collapsed on Vegeta's chest. She was awfully exhausted. Because I dream about you Vegeta. When you were young. About me and Chibi Vegeta, which is you. You died in my dream trying to protect me, and I cried. You are not going to die in reality too… Bulma confessed everything to Vegeta, everything she knew telepathically. She just hoped he heard it all.

Dr. Briefs came up to Goku and shook his head sadly. 'I can't do anything. Only a miracle will allow him to survive.'

Goku dropped his head. Well, if this is the way the proud prince of Saiyans was going to die, so be it. Pity, cause now Trunks would never be born…and he is such a dashing young fellow…And just when Bulma started to show feelings for him… Goku sighed.

He walked over to Bulma, to tell her.

Bulma wouldn't accept it. 'No! He will not die! He won't die!' She yelled, tears steaming.

It was painful to see his best friend like this. He walked over to Vegeta and gave him some of his ki. 'That should make him survive through the night.' He told them. Bulma looked slightly better. 'Then we should all be getting some sleep then.' Dr. Briefs muttered and threw out 3 capsules containing a single bed each.

'If Vegeta will make it through the night, then we should be getting some rest.' Goku obeyed and jumped onto his bed. Dr. Briefs yawned before going to sleep immediately. Bulma just wasn't in the mood. She wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping on one of those capsule beds at the time of Vegeta's death. She just laid her head on his bruised chest before falling asleep.

As tears rolled down her cheeks, she realized her big mistake to come to the water's edge. The Pullo's had spotted her. Oh no! She stuttered and started running.

The Pullo's followed in the air. They were increasing on Bulma.

Bulma's legs were heavy. She couldn't run, because Chibi Vegeta's death kept flashing in her mind. She tried her best, but knew she would be no match for them. Beside she was running on the beach's coast. She collapsed into the sand. She was absolutely exhausted. 'Chibi Vegeta…' She struggled and tried to go on.

The Pullo's came closer, closer until they were within reach. Bulma screamed in terror but knew it was utterly hopeless.

Then, from the Blood Sea, a glowing aura dashed out of them. Blood was on his face where he was bitten, and every part of his body hurt. But Chibi Vegeta was alive…and a super Saiyan.

Blasting each and every one of the Pullo's to death, Chibi Vegeta wasted no time. 'You dirty bastards! How dare you kill the woman that is the closest thing I'll ever have to a mother!' His fury was maddening, as Chibi Vegeta gave them each an equally brutal death. The gold aura flashed around him and Bulma was shocked. Chibi Vegeta was a super Saiyan to protect her…he called her the closest thing that he'll ever get to having a mother…that meant, he loved her…like she was his mother…

When Chibi Vegeta finished killing and cursing the entire Pullo race, he flew down to Bulma, and powered down.

'Vegeta…' She stuttered and hugged the boy. To her surprise, Vegeta hugged her back.

Bulma awoke to a start. He hadn't died. Chibi Vegeta was still alive, and he had gone super Saiyan to protect her. She watched the reality Vegeta sadly. It was dawn now, and Goku's words haunted her. 'Enough to live through the night.'

She held Vegeta's hands again, and told him that Chibi Vegeta had survived, and he should too. She told him also how much she cared and how she couldn't live without him…and then she told him how much love she had for him…

Vegeta was in a dark place. He saw images of his life go past, and new that he was going to die. Then, by some weirdly godly magic, he heard Bulma's voice. She told him that she had dreams about a smaller version of him, whom she called Chibi Vegeta and then her whole dream. About him plunging into the Blood Sea…and how much she had cried. Then he saw that the 'Pullo's' came for her after Chibi Vegeta but Chibi Vegeta came through as super Saiyan to destroy each and everyone of the race. Then he heard the words…

'You survived in my dream Vegeta. You can survive in reality too. I care about you, more than I thought I'd ever would. And I wouldn't be able to live without you if you died. I love you…so much…please don't die on me…'

Those words made Vegeta jump into Super Saiyan mode. He couldn't understand…he had to live…for the woman…because…words can not explain his feelings.

His golden aura flowed around him as he turned back on the gates of death.

Vegeta awoke in Super Saiyan mode. Bulma was lying on his chest and the idiot Kakarott was sleeping and Dr. Briefs was sleeping on another bed.

He turned around to check his surroundings.

Bulma turned up to Vegeta. Her face was all puffy and wet from crying. When she saw Vegeta awake, in super Saiyan mode, tears began its path again. But this time they were tears of joy. She glanced at the pulse machine and realized it was normal.

'Hey Woman, got all of your messages…' She turned to the familiar smirk on Vegeta's face.

'Hai!' She grinned, and jumped across the room, waking Dr. Briefs and Goku up.

'Vegeta…you're a super Saiyan, congratulations!' Goku grinned.

'Cut the crap Kakarott.' Vegeta growled.

'Yep,' Dr. Briefs sighed. 'He's definitely recovered back to normal. It's a total miracle. I can't believe it! I was right after all! Saiyans are indestructible!'

Dr. Briefs, Goku and Bulma laughed and Vegeta kept his scowl on his face.

When Vegeta powered down to super Saiyan and Goku had gone home and Dr. Briefs had gone to work, AND he and Bulma were alone, Bulma went berserk.

'Vegeta! I am just soooo happy your all alright!' she was hugging him and smothering him with kisses.

'You're wasting my time woman!' Vegeta tried prying Bulma off him.

'Oh Vegeta! I still can't believe turning into super Saiyan will get you all better! And you got all of my messages as well…' Bulma blushed and looked down. Vegeta cupped her chin to make her look at him.

'Sorry,' Bulma stuttered. 'I just couldn't help falling in love with you…' She was broken off when Vegeta gave her a deep kiss on the lips.

A couple minutes later, Vegeta broke the kiss. Bulma was disappointed but satisfied as she laid her head on the prince's chest. 'I love you,' Bulma told him. 'More than you could fantasize.'

Vegeta smirked. He wasn't going to tell her, at least not yet, that he felt the same way too.

The End
