Jen walked quickly down the hall, her eyes darting around her wildly as she checked her surroundings. He could be anywhere and she could feel him here, his aura and his scent around her. Suddenly she turned a corner and into Bulma's main lab where several techs worked quickly on their projects for Frieza while they secretly thought of destroying the very same.
"Bulma," she called as the doors to the blue haired scientist's private lab opened. She stepped into the room and saw her friend leaning over some metallic scraps. She looked over at Jen, her blue eyes questioning.
"What's up?" The door behind Jen slammed close with a thud, the noise intertwining with the machines buzzing in the large room. The feeling of paranoia gone, like he had been locked away from her.
"He is here! I can feel him hunting us... hunting me..." Bulma straightened.
"Who?" she inquired in confusion.
"Thom!" Jen cried, her voice laced with anger and a bit of fear. "I can feel him in the halls and in the lab..." he voice faded away as tears welled up in her eyes.
"I thought that you said he was dead?!" Bulma asked in confusion. Jen looked at her, equally confused. This was the newest of complications.
"I thought that he was, but Frieza must have saved him!" The dark haired woman was near hysterics and Bulma could see this. With a deep breath she hugged her friend. She whispered calming words to the shaking woman.
"It is okay. We can work around this." Jen looked up at her friend.
"How?" Bulma smirked, the computers and machines still humming, the sound almost soothing. She turned from her to a small drawer. Pulling it open she revealed a small device that resembled a bracelet, something like Wonder Woman's bands, but on these gold bands was intric symbols.
"What is it?"
"This is what will help the Sayians and us be free of Frieza. This is our freedom." The gold of the bracelet glimmered in the florescent light of the room.
Vegeta exited the large training room, his spandex torn and his body cut. Behind him Kakarot stepped out, his body just as torn and blooded.
"Good spar," Kakarot spit out with a grin. Vegeta grunted as they headed down the dim corridors, guards scattering around the area until they got to the servant apartments. There was nothing but doors and darkness. Kakarot headed off into the darkeness while Vegeta headed into his apartment. The main room was dark, but the bedroom held light. He entered the large room, his eyes falling on her sleeping figure, her body sprawled out on the bed. He moved closer to her and that is when he sensed it... an aura of evil... darkness... Quickly his dark eyes scanned the room.
"I know that you are there!" he called as he went to stand by the woman. "Step out where I can see you." He pulled Bulma into his arms, stirring the sleeping woman.
"Ve-" He silenced her with a look, his eyes serious. Bulma looked around her, his mind telling her what he could not say out loud.
'There is someone in here.'Bulma nodded. "If you do not show yourself then I will be forced to blow up the room with you in it." A chuckle echoed through out the large room, the sound resounding off of the plain walls. The sound made Bulma shivering, her body quaking at the sickness in the voice that followed.
"Very good," a male voice said as the shadows parted to reveal a very short man with a beer belly, his eyes gleaming coldly. "Prince Vegeta." He looked over at Bulma. "I see that you have found a very delectable mate." Vegeta growled low in his throat, Bulma vibrating with the same sound as she eyed the man before them with distaste and distrust. This was Jen's former mate, the one that she felt hunting the pair.
"Thom," she said, her voice frosty. He looked at her, his eyes betraying his shock. Vegeta looked down at his mate wondering how she knew the man. Wondering if he was on of her former lovers. "Jen told me all about you." Inwardly Vegeta sighed.
"She was quite the chatterbox," he said with a cold smirk. "I know that you are planning to rebel against the great Lord Frieza and well... I can not let that happen." With a flash he had Bulma in his fist while Vegeta stared in disbelief. "My race..." he said, his hand tightening on Bulma's throat. "We tend to be faster than most races." Bulma squirmed in his grasp, her skin turning a ting of blue, her life seeping from her. Vegeta and her eyes met and then in that instant they had Thom by the neck, his eyes wide with fear and shock. Bulma released him as Vegeta's grip tightened.
"No one touches my mate," he growled. "No one." With that his hand blazed with a light blue flame, the skin on Thom's face bubbling as it burned. His flesh burned and peeled, his screams silent as his voice box scorched and he was dead. As the two lay in bed later that night, the skies turning a light blue they talked about what they were going to do about the looming threat of Frieza. "Woman, you should get out of here even if I cannot." Bulma frowned at him, her eyes burning angrily with tears.
"I will not leave you. Go go together or not at all." Vegeta pulled her close to him, the contact familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. It took him some time to think of the words that he said next.
"If not for me..." he said as he looked down at her. "Then for the brat inside you." Bulma's blue eyes widened as she looked down at her belly.
"I-I-I am-" she managed to stutter out. He nodded as he touched her stomach.
"I would say that you are about three weeks along." Bulma touched her stomach, next to his hand. Vegeta pulled her close as the morning light filled the room.
Jen met with Kakarot that morning, her eyes full of information.
"We have less than one day!" she blurted out, her mind and heart full of anxity and sadness.
"What?" the dark haired Sayian asked in shock. "I thought that we had more than that." The bright hallways gave them no dark seclusion, but to the pair that did not matter for that they knew that the tyrant knew what they were up to and all of them were sure of it. Piccolo approached the pair, the rest of his race with him.
"We overheard what the woman said. Is this true?"
"One of the techs overheard one of the head guards talking to Frieza. They plan on killing Vegeta and all the people that are part of his group including myself and Kakarot." The green men looked at each other in worry. This was not good. "We have less than tweny-four hours to get out or fight."
"Less than that my love," a deep voice said from the doorway. The group turned to look at the newcomer, only to find someone that was a stranger to all but one.
Bulma lay next to Vegeta, her blue eyes staring out into space. Vegeta lay next to her, his dark eyes closed while his muscular arm held her close to him. It was a quarter after ten in the morning and neither had really slept.
"We need to get up," Vegeta said. Bulma nodded, but did not rise from her spot. Vegeta nudged her as he got up and headed for the shower. Not even closing the door he undressed before turning the shower on. Bulma sighed happily as she rubbed her stomach, her hand never having left it since he had informed her just hours before.
"Hello in there," she whispered, the sounds of the shower muffled as Vegeta climbed in under the jet of water. "I am your mommy. I can't wait to see you."
"Woman! Get in here!" With a sigh Bulma got up and headed for the shower, dropping her clothes as she went.
After their shower the pair headed off toward the docking bay where the rest of their crew waited for them. On all of the women's wrists were the shining gold bracelets, all with inscriptions on the outside, the symbols a puzzle to them, but they wore them for protection.
"Today is the day!" Vegeta growled to the group before him, all of them different races from Humans to Namekiens. "Our lives are on the line. Some of you will be sent to a safe planet which will be unknown to all but the computers. This is done for the protection of those being sent."
On the morning when, you woke up on
A bed made of rippling waves
Everything ended and began again
The women looked at each other. They knew that they would be the ones in the pods.
"Women, get in the pods." Bulma watched as the other women got in the pods as she stood next to her mate. Most of the women said good-bye to their mates or lovers as the pod doors sealed them in safety. Vegeta turned to her.
While we sat there, in silence
With the warm light surrounding us
All of my hopes, they were reborn
and returned to the sea
"Woman," he said, his voice quiet. She looked up at him, her blue eyes searching his dark ones and she instantly knew what he was about to ask of her. Wanting to protest she knew that she had to do it for them and for their child. With a nod she kissed him, their lips lingering as the noise of the pods firing up deafened all other noise. She climbed into her pod, the light from the others illuminating her pale skin. 'I love you.' Bulma looked at him in shock. He had never told her that before. With a growl that broke her from her stupor she called out to him.
Can you hear the bell ringing?
Echoing over the, seven seas, my happiness
Shines over the endless ocean
Our miracle of love, shows what I care for most
All what I want to, is to, gaze into your eyes
Everything melts away as you kiss, me
"I love you!" she cried out as the pod door closed, tears falling down her ivory cheeks as the door slid closed. Vegeta turned from the pod just as Jen entered the room. He frowned.
"What the fuck?! Get your stupid ass in the pod! The woman will kill me with her screeching when she realizes that you are still here!" Vegeta growled. Jen frowned back at him.
"Do as he says," a voice behind her said. She looked behind her at the shadow and nodded before heading for the last pod. Vegeta watched the shadow as Jen got in the pod. "Prince Vegeta?" the shadow inquired. Vegeta glared, his brows knitting together.
"Who wants to know?" The shadow stepped forward to show a rather good looking male with tan skin and bright green eyes, his dark hair making him appear tanner.
"My name is Cris. I am a close friend of Jen and I would like to help you fight." Vegeta scoffed his face unreadable. He did not know this man and therefore he was untrusting of him, but then again he did not know Jen. Bulma trusted her so that meant that for now he would have to take this man for his word. With a nod the group they followed him to the throne room.
"Frieza!" he growled as the doors burst open, the group filling the large shadowed room. On the other side of the room was a large throne with several shadows around it and one small one on the throne. "Frieza, show yourself!" The smaller shadow remained motionless, but someone did step out of the shadows. The very pink blob from his first day grinned at him, his purple eyes flashing with malice.
"Hello, Vegeta," the blob said with a smirk. Vegeta smirked back at him.
"Hello, shit on the bottom of my shoe." This seemed to piss the creature off, but everyone chuckled at the joke.
"Shut up!" Dodoria said to the group behind him before he turned to Vegeta. "Very funny Vegeta, but I believe that you will be the shit on my shoe!" Vegeta chuckled before his usual glare appeared on his face and then he disappeared. Dodoria looked around wildly as two red eyes looked over at him, watching the invisible man. "Show yourself you fucking monkey!" he shouted as he blasted around for Vegeta. The shoadows growled as some of the blasts landed in front of them. Seconds after he stopped Vegeta appeared in front of him to blast him square in the face. The rather large, blue blast hit the blob in the face, his rubbery skin stretching as the ball of energy tore into it. Dodoria laughed as his skin expanded to allow the ball into him, but this did not bother him as he continued to chuckle. All of a sudded his laughter turned to screams as the ball grew bigger and hotter, the heat burning Dodoria's pink skin. His flesh bubbled as it blackened before ozzing blood, the red liquid pooling around him. His screams filled the room, most of the inhabitants turning green at the sight of the muscles burning and the smell of the charring flesh. His body seemed to melt like the wicked witch of the west as the skin pooled around his feet mixing with the blood, the mixture like spilled paint. His body then dropped into the puddle with a splat followed by everyone vomiting. Vegeta turned to Frieza, the tyrant's crew backing away.
"Are you going to remain in the darkness, coward?"
Bulma groaned as she woke up, her back tied up in knots. Outside her pod were the stars, space. She looked out, her eyes wide as she surveyed her surroundings. Where was she? She was not informed as to where they were sending the females and that is when she saw it. A planet in the distance with white, blue and green splashes of color. She leaned closer to the window of the pod, her hands lying on the cool glass. She looked down at the planet like a goddess, the other pods before her like shooting stars. This planet would be her home from now on, all of their homes. She touched her right hand to her stomach as she looked out the window.
"Well, Vegeta, it seems that you have frightened my fighters." With that he turned to the fighters still in the shadows. "That means that I have bitches with dicks out there!" He powered up and with a flick of his hand all the men before him were dead leaving him and Vegeta alone, the floor turning red below them. He turned back to Vegeta, his eyes glowing angrily even as his face remained straight. "Now it is time to make another race extinct." Everyone growled since some of them were the last of their race. Vegeta said nothing as he glared at the creature before him. The thing in front of him was different than any form of Frieza that he had ever seen, but it was a known fact that Frieza had many forms, but no one had seen the last form since no one could beat him in any of his weaker forms. "Seems that I have left you at a loss for words, but that is no matter I will crush you." Vegeta growled as he flew at Frieza, his aura blazing blue with royalty. Frieza flashed away just seconds from the blow that Vegeta intended. Vegeta hit the metallic wall with a thud, his feet indenting the wall. Frieza came after him with full power his fists pummeling the Sayians fleshy form. Vegeta screamed as his ribs were broken. Vegeta growled and shoved Frieza away with a medium sized blast. Frieza slammed into the far wall with a thud and Vegeta was upon him. The battle ensued, the group watching the two superpowers battled.
"Let's go finish off his soldiers!" Kakarot yelled. The group nodded before leaving the prince to his battle. Vegeta paid no mind to the men below him as they left the room; his attention was on the man before him. Frieza on the other hand looked down at the men leaving giving Vegeta the seconds he needed to attack the tyrant. With a blast of power he went at the creature, his fists pummeling the white metallic surface of his enemy, the tyrants blood spilling from his mouth as a silent scream escaping his throat. With a blast he blew the Sayian from him.
"Seems that you have gotten stronger, but I know this can only be achieved once you have mated with the Blue Child. I knew that you would do this since you are destined to be soul mates, but I did not think that you would create a heir so soon." Vegeta's dark eyes got smaller as he realized that the whole thing was a set up. "The brat was not part of my plan and than means that the child must not be born." Vegeta chuckled to himself. This was good because the child was gone. "Though it seems that the women have been sent off I will find her after I kill you and then the child will be dead." Vegeta betrayed nothing even as his heart clenched in fear. This was true. This battle was life or death and not just for him, but for his family. With a growl his aura erupted in a glow of gold, Frieza stepping back as the power hit him. This could not be good for the tyrant, but he did not know this as he watched Vegeta's dark eyes flash green. Frieza seemed to freeze with that one look, his body solidifying like an unoiled machine. Vegeta flew at him, his fist crashing into his face. With a cry the tyrant's face busted into peices, his blood spilling forward as his nose broke. With a glare over his now twisted nose Frieza growled, "What the fuck??" Vegeta busted into him again, his fists connecting and his kicks hitting their mark. He managed to knock the creature to the ground, his mangled limbs spilling blood in with the soldiers' blood already saturating the ground.
"Seems that you are as much a bitch as your soldiers were, eh?" Frieza looked up at Vegata, his red eyes glowing with less life than they started.
"Fuck you you fucking monkey!" Vegeta powered a small blast in his hand, the glow as gold as his hair, his eyes stilling glowing with untamed power and anger.
"Good night to you too," he said as the blast hit Frieza, the tyrant screaming as his flesh gave way to the firey blast.
Bulma awoke to a bright light, her blue eyes stinging for a few seconds before adjusting to the light entering her pod. With a single command the door opened to reveal green earth and blue skies. This was such a contrast to the cold darkness of Ice. Several women approached her, all bowed except for one lone woman.
"Bulma!" she cried running to her friend.
"Jen!" she cried as the hugged the other woman. Both women turned to look at the other women.
"Why are they bowing?" the brunette inquired. Bulma shrugged and then it hit her.
"I think that they think that I am their princess since Vegeta is my mate." Jen rolled her eyes.
"That would make me the queen of Minsa," the other woman said grinning. Bulma frowned.
"I am not joking," she growled as she touched her stomach. Jen sobered. He friend was telling the truth.
"Oh, my Kami you are serious." Bulma nodded, her face grim, yet her eyes happy. Birds twittered around them as they stared at each other. "That is such great news!" she cried as she hugged her friend now that she was on board. "That is great news! Now I can tell you mine." Bulma looked at her in curiosity. "My true mate has come back!" Her blue eyes widened. "Cris came back and he is up there with your man fighting Frieza!" Bulma's surprise turned to joy for her friend who had found her soul mate, her completion. They looked up the skies as they thoguht of their males fighting for their lives and their faces turned hopeful and grim at the same time. They would be waiting...
