Chapter 6
Wrath Of O-Ren
By
Bulma
Bulma watched over Vegeta and went to the kitchen. She grabbed a cloth and got it damp. She returned to the living room and sat on her knees on the floor in front of the couch. She began to clean away the dried blood. She looked worriedly at Vegeta's unconscious state. What if he had a concussion? Brain damage? What if he lost his memory? Bulma could feel the lump in her throat, but managed not to let herself cry.
She felt she had to be strong now if she wanted to get them out of this mess and back home safe and sound. Suddenly Vegeta began to stir awake. Bulma watched him slowly open his eyes as a deep gruttle sound came from his throat at the pounding headache that took full force on him. He slowly sat up and scanned his surroundings. "Vegeta, please lay down and-" "Where are we?" he interrupted sharply and gazed coldly at the frighten woman at the foot of the couch. "I-I'm not sure. The boy brought us here. He is in the other room talking to a woman. Vegeta, what is a mate?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta's eyes did not change their cold exterior. "Stop asking such foolish questions. Come, we must escape now that we have the chance." "Vegeta I think we should trust him. I think he is trying to help us." Bulma told him. Vegeta let out a sarcastic snort. "Oh really? He feed that crock of shit to you? You honestly believe him?! Woman, this is why you don't think! You are such a foolish weakling! It's a miracle you are fucking alive if you believe such nonsense. There is no such thing in this universe as a good person, especially not now. He is going to hurt us and you are fool to walk into his trap!" Vegeta scolded her. He stood up and cradled her into his arms and to his chest. "Vegeta stop! Please, just listen for a second!" Bulma beat his chest and struggled to get down.
"If you walk out that door, I can not insure your safety." came a voice from the entrance of the hallway. Vegeta stopped and turned around. "Boy, stay out of this." He hissed darkly. "And where will you go Vegeta? You are no longer on Earth, but a ship billions of light years away. There are people who have heard of where you and Bulma come from. They want to harm you both. What will you do Prince Vegeta? How will you return to your own time with a time machine no longer able to function right?" Trunks softly asked him. Vegeta whipped around and glared at the person to dare to point out his problems. "What is your name Boy?"
"It's Trunks. Please don't' go. I'm here to help, not harm. You can trust me. I'll do all that I can to keep you both safe. I will return you both back to your time." Trunks pleaded. "Vegeta, please put me down." Bulma asked in his arms. "Very well, but if I even get a bad feeling or even one dirty look from you; Boy, You will wish you never messed with the Prince of all Saiyans." Vegeta threatened. "I give you m y word." he bowed to show respect.
Vegeta gently put Bulma down. Venux was behind Trunks as he came forward. "Please sit and let my mate, Venux, and Bulma take care of your injuries. I must leave to take care of some business." Trunks walked pasted them and out the door. The 3 could only watched him leave.
Bulma felt very much out of place in the small quarters. "Um…well make yourselves at home. Do you prefer some coffee or tea?" Venux asked the two. "Um coffee for me and tea for him." Bulma forced a polite smile to hide her nervousness. "Very well. I'll also bring something back to help with those nasty cuts. Oh and try not to be too loud, my Daughter just went to bed." Venux requested. Bulma smiled and nodded and Venux turned and headed to the kitchen while Bulma lead Vegeta back to the couch.
-Trunks!-
He walked all the way to O-Ren's chambers. He stood at her door and sighed. He knew it was late, but he also knew if he didn't come to tell her the results could be catastrophic. He brought his hand up and knocked on the door. "Enter." came the voice of the Empress from within. Trunks put on his bravest face and entered the room.
It was a beautiful bedroom. Everything from the velvet red theme to the marble bath that even the gods would envy, screamed elegance. There in the center of the flawless room paced O-Ren. She took one look at Trunks and glared. "WELL! WHAT HAVE YOU?!" she yelled. Trunks kept his stone, cold exterior. "I am afraid when I have arrived they were no prisoners there for me to collect your Highness." he bowed before her. O-Ren felt enraged by the news. You could see the fire in her eyes. "That damn planet! I will have to search for them and destroy it! Are you sure you didn't have anyone for you to collect?" she barked angrily at him.
Trunks looked up and shook his head once for no. "Damn them and damn you! Did I not clearly say not to return until you have them?!" "I do not recall, your Highness." O-Ren stormed over to her vanity and pushed a button on it. 5 or so elite guards came in. O-Ren glared with pure hatred at Trunks. Trunks dared not to move an inch. "I want Planet Earth searched for the 2 prisoners and then destroyed. I want no survivors. Now as for Trunks's punishment, I think a night in the tomb will teach him to remember my orders." she hissed at the guards dragged Trunks away.
-Morning!-
Sanshi's alarm went off and smelled her Mother's cooking. "Mmmm why does training with Dad have to be so early? Stupid Dad!" she groaned throwing the clock across the room and it hitting the wall. She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She quickly got up and dressed. She then headed to the kitchen. "Morning Mom. Morning Da-…uh" she looked to see a strong, dark haired man sitting in her father's chair at the kitchen table and eating her Mother's food. Her Mother was at the stove, continuing to cook the breakfast for everyone else. "Morning Sanshi, sleep well?" Venux smiled as she glanced over her shoulder at her Daughter.
"Um…Mom, can I talk to you for a second?" Sanshi asked confused. "Sure. Is there anything else you need Vegeta?" Venux asked. A grunt indicated no, so Venux got up and walked her Daughter to a private part of the quarters. "Okay, I know you must be a little confused about what is going on?" "Um, more than a little Mom. Where is Dad?" Sanshi asked. "Sanshi, your Father had to go on another mission last night and it was to retrieve Bulma and Vegeta for O-Ren." Venux explained.
Sanshi's eyes widen. "M-Mom, they are Gram and Gramps?!" "Yes Sanshi, they are. But they don't know about your Father and about us. Judging from the way Vegeta treats Bulma, they are not together yet. So do me a favor and welcome them as guests and don't give away anything to endanger your Father." "Speaking of Dad, where is he?"
"Hmmm, he went to go tell O-Ren last night that he couldn't find them. He hasn't returned yet." Venux appeared worried as well as Sanshi at the realization. "Oh no! Just what is that bitch up to this time?!" Sanshi cried angrily. "Just relax Sanshi, if you want to go back to bed you can." Venux told her. "How can I Mom? I'm going to be so worried about Dad. What if he comes home again like last ti-" They were interrupted by a scream coming from the living room.
Bulma woke up to the sound of a loud thud on the ground by the couch she was sleeping on. She opened her eyes and looked to see what had caused the noise. What she saw was a bloodied, beaten, barely conscience Trunks. Bulma let out a scream thinking he was dead. Vegeta, Venux, and Sanshi rushed into the room. Bulma looked up terrified and small tears fell from her orbs. "H-He's d-dead!!" Bulma whimpered. "M-Mom…" came a whisper from the floor. Venux and Sanshi rushed over to Trunks. "Dad! Damn you O-Ren!" Sanshi cursed as she helped her Mother bring her Father to their room so her Mother could help clean him up once more.
Sanshi went out of the room once he was situated and went to go talk to her Grandparents. Bulma covered her mouth and was shaken up by the site of the young man named Trunks all bloodied up. Just what horrible people were after them to do that to Trunks? What did they want? Vegeta came and sat by her. "Woman, calm down…he will be all right." Vegeta tried his best to appear consoling. Bulma looked to him. "V-Vegeta…" she sniffled. "Uh, Dad is going to be all right. Sorry for the scare." Sanshi said from the hallway entrance. Vegeta and Bulma looked to their Granddaughter. Sanshi came into the room and sat in a chair. "What happened?" Vegeta demanded. "Whom is this O-Ren?"
"O-Ren is this bitch who is ruler of the universe. She enslaved us. Dad is the reason why the universe is under her control and he wants nothing to do with it. She makes him do things by force. Dad hates it and O-Ren just uses him and us. I hate her so much!! All she does is hurt Dad and make him kill and hurt others!" Sanshi explained. Bulma listened to Sanshi and Vegeta abruptly stood up. "Vegeta?" Bulma and Sanshi asked in unison.
"I need to go for a walk. I need to clear my head." Vegeta told them and walked himself to the door. "Vegeta! That isn't a good idea!" Bulma said to him in a small voice. "It's not safe. Bulma is right. Please don't' go." Sanshi asked him. Vegeta opened the door. " I listen to no one." were Vegeta's words as he walked out on them. "Oh boy…Dad's not going to be happy about this…" Sanshi whispered to herself as Bulma and her watched Vegeta walk out the door.
Bulma looked to Sanshi. "What's your name?" she asked. "Uh Sanshi and you are Bulma right?" "Yeah." "Um my Mom told me everything. Um perhaps you want to hear what is going on?" she asked and Bulma nodded yes. Sanshi got up and sat on the couch next to her Grandmother. She let out a deep sigh as she began to tell her the situation.
-Vegeta!-
He began to wander the halls of the ship taking precautions to stay well hidden. When he saw the young man named Trunks on the floor, in a mess such as that, his blood boiled. He felt this need to seek revenge for the injustice against this O-Ren. He felt he needed to take her down. He couldn't explain this feelings, but he wasn't thinking with his head, but with those feelings. He turned a corner and came into a group of chatting guards of the hallway.
The 3 looked at the Saiyan Prince. Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "Who are you slave?" demanded one of them. "I do not have to answer to such lowlifes as yourself. I demanded you point me in the direction of this bitch who calls herself O-Ren!" Vegeta crossed his arms angrily. The guard's mouth dropped. Never before had someone disrespected the Empress in such a manner. Those who have, quickly found themselves in the afterlife. But the 3ed guard smiled. "You want to see the Empress? Very well, we will take you to her. I'm sure she would love to hear about yourself." Vegeta snorted at the comment. "Fools! Do not mock the Prince of all Saiyans! Now take me to her!" The guards turned at this and Vegeta followed.
