Vegeta strolled down the metallic halls with his usual arrogance in check. Karrakrot and Krillin were due for an ass kicking session and he was by all means glad to provide it for them. He didn't know why but for the past few days he felt like he was king of the universe (which he should be, if it wasn't for that fucking lizard). He felt stronger, faster, and almost untouchable. He slept better and his usual rage wasn't sparked as easily as before, instead he would retaliate with snide comments and witty remarks. Vegeta smirked slyly. He knew exactly why he felt so powerful and alive, and it was all because of a certain blue haired Earthling. Ever since that night the two had resolved their fight and now everything had gone back to the way it was before. He would be the arrogant asshole that loved to crawl beneath her skin and annoy the crap out of her, while she would be the witty yet temperamental bitch that who was the only one that could offer him a worthy verbal spar on this whole damn planet. Yes, that's they way it should be, and that was the way he liked it best. It gave him a chance to be near to her at a comfortable distance. Yet the thought of what she felt like against his bare chest plagued his thoughts before he slept. The warmth of her small body, pressed against his massive torso, almost molding her self into him. The feel of her soft silky skin compared to his harsh coarse exterior, and the contrast between his tanned manly physique to her pearl white luminous fragile body sent chills down the Prince's spine. And if that wasn't enough the soft lingering touch of her lips against his almost drove him insane. Vegeta knew very well what his body physically ached for, he wanted, no, needed release, yet he did not comply to his inner needs.
'I don't need her, I don't need these emotions, they will just become a burden to me, I will never reach my goal of achieving Super Saiyan with such thoughts.' Yet he secretly didn't want to ruin what little relationship that the two shared. Her company was worth a lot more compared to anyone else's. Vegeta was not stupid, he knew he enjoyed the woman's company, more that he cared to image,
"But there's nothing wrong about that…"
"Nothing wrong about what Vegeta?" to Vegeta's utter despair he turned to face the owner of the voice.
"What do you want Zarbon?"
"Did you know talking to yourself is the first signs to madness ape? I'm surprised that you're only at that stage, but then again a primitive being like yourself could take years to develop in whatever you do." The alien laughed viciously at his joke while his followers joined in.
"What do you want Zarbon?"
"Now Now Vegeta, we have talked about this attitude before haven't we? Take one swing, one swing at me, you or your entire little monkey friends, and there will be hell to pay."
"I'm quivering in my boots."
"Good, that's what your little girlfriend and her best friend will being doing as she watches you get beaten to an inch from your miserable life." Vegeta glared daggers at the sleazy bastard that was again laughing at his own sick perverse mind. He had to summon up all his will power to not to tackle and beat the shit out of Zarbon there and then. He promised Bulma that he and the others would attend to the training room during the night to check out her new gravity room. And getting into a fight would probably delay his chances of using the invention tonight. Yet the mention of Bulma having to witness the horror again made his blood sizzle. He promised her to keep her safe and innocent from the fucked up things that happened between these soldiers and he sure as hell wasn't going to let Zarbon break his promise. Sneering violently at the group he pushed way past Zarbon, but before he could completely escape, he felt a strong hand coil around his arm and pull him back to whisper in his ear
"I'm watching you."
Vegeta grunted in disgust of the proximity between the two and hastily shook off the blue/green faced henchmen and furiously pursued his path. Reaching the common training room he found Kakkarot and Krillin waiting for him outside talking. Vegeta again pushed past the two and barked at them to come in.
"Aww man what mad Vegeta mad today?" Krillin groaned knowing that the training would be at it's worst today.
Numbers instantly filled her head, along with the screen that was infront of her. Her slender fingers skillfully ran across the keyboard fixing up any mistakes she had made earlier (yes geniuses do make mistakes). She had to finish her upgrades today because the boys, well Vegeta, wanted to see her invention later in the evening.
'Ok just one more formula and I think I got it'.
Bulma sighed in relief and satisfaction. Her personal project was completed. It took almost a year to complete it but she was finally finished. Bumla smiled in victory. She remembered as clear as crystal the day she decided to invent the Gravity Room. It was the day Vegeta left. She remembered waking up on his cold hard floor, and just staring at the ceiling, feeling completely helpless and alone. She never wanted to experience that kind of emptiness and helplessness again. So she did what she did best, invent. She would support and insure her life by making the boys strong enough to set all of them free, yet it also insured that Vegeta kept close to her.
"Bulma?" Bulma whiped her head around to find a curious looking Geiton peering into her room.
"Ah! Geiton don't sneek up on my like that!" Bulma frantically tried to sort her data together without the curious alien looking.
"Oh, sorry about that? Bulma what are you doing?"
"AH, NOTHING, oh shit is that the time I'm sorry Geiton but I have to go!"
"Um ok, Bulma." And with that the blue haired goddess raced out of the labs with the capsules safe in her pocket. Geiton watched her retreating figure. Confirming to himself that she was gone, he quietly approached her desk. He looked around the desk, not knowing what for, but anything out of the ordinary, however found nothing. Sighing he shook his head and left.
Bulma raced down the corridors. She really needed to get out of that situation and fast. Even though Geiton was a really sweet guy she couldn't let him know anything about their plan, it was too risky. She felt bad about leaving his so abruptly, yet she wasn't lying she needed to go and meet the boys at the training room seeing that it was later it would be the perfect place to try out her new invention.
Vegeta crossed his arms and stood tall and proud, yet inside his mind was ticking like a bomb, about ready to explode.
'Where is she? She was supposed to be here.'
"Hey Vegeta where is Bulma?"
"Kakkarot how the fuck am I suppose to know?"
"Did she say she was coming at this time?"
"Yes you idiot, what do you take me for?"
"But she's not here yet."
"I can see that moron"
"So then she isn't coming?"
"Kakkarot I swear to kami-"
"Hi guys! Sorry I am late!"
"WOMAN WERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN, KAKKAROT HAS BEEN ANNOYING THE HELL OUT OF ME ASKING WHERE U WERE!"
"Aww really? That's so sweet, at least he cares! Unlike some PEOPLE!"
"Don't start with me Woman! You are late so I suggest you hurry up and do whatever you have to do!"
"Ok Ok, sheesh, grumpy ass…"
"What was that!"
"I said I'll go fass…t" she lamely tried to cover up winking at Krillin and Kakkarot.
"Whatever Woman!"
Bulma rolled her eyes, but smiled as she produced a capsule from her pocket. She pressed down and threw it a safe distance to produce a small rectangular box and a 3 wrist bands.
"Ok, its simple guys. The small box is the main power source, you can put it in any room you want and turn it then you can adjust the gravity level of that room. You can do it manually by pressing the buttons on the box or you can put on the wrist bands which act like a remote control for the Gravity box. You can control the gravity's power with the wrist bands, adjusting the gravity or turning it on or off completely. The red button is the 'ON' button to active the box. So give me a minute to get outside, turn it on test the gravity and then turn it off and tell me what you think." When the Saiyans were completely alone in the room they all stared at each other, daring one another to move.
"Grr, enough with this stupidity, here I'll turn on the blasted thing." Vegeta activated his wrist band. The box started to glow a red colour and all of a sudden the Sayians could feel the pressure. It was only a slight difference because the gravity was on low. Vegeta smirked.
"Right, I'm increasing the gravity, so get ready." Vegeta turned up the power by one notch. The sensation of a tremendous force began to rest on the Saiyans. Another notch, they could feel their shoulders slightly cowering. Vegeta continued until all three Saiyans were on their knees, unable to get up. However Vegeta laughed in amusement and was about to turn it up to 350x gravity when,
"Malfunction, Power Off in 3,2,1" Suddenly all Saiyans collapsed at the loss of pressure. Getting up they could hear laughter for the background as Bulma emerged for outside.
"Yeah I meant to tell you, it can only go up to 300x gravity right now, I still haven't been able to find the right upgrade schematics. But it's good huh?" Both Karrarot and Krillin grinned and nodded their heads in agreement, trying to recover from their experience.
"We need the upgrade Woman, we will surpass these levels too easily, we need a challenge so I suggest u figure out how to upgrade it now." Vegeta stated firmly. Bulma's eyes narrowed, was he serious? She just made it and he wanted her to upgrade it NOW?
'Count to ten Bulma, 1,2,3-"
"WOMAN!"
"OK VEGETA KAMI STOP SHOUTING!" Vegeta smirked knowing too well he had won.
"So when can you upgrade it?"
"Well if I had the schematics tonight, but I don't, they don't offer anything here, the only person I know who has it is Daddy…" Bulma stared directly at Vegeta, eyes wide. Vegeta rolled his eyes.
'Not again!'
"Are you sure that is the only place?"
"Positive."
"Ok fine let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"Away from you Kakkarot!"
"Where?"
"KAKKAROT!"
Vegeta huffed down the corridors. He couldn't believe that he was taking her to see her father, again! He wasn't a chaperon, yet this was the only way he could get those upgrades.
"Oh Vegeta stop making such a big deal out of this, I'm doing this for you not me!"
"Whatever Woman" the two quietly crept into the control room. From there Bulma took the lead and began the process of taping into Earth's communication lines.
"So what did you think about my gravity room huh? Pretty cool!"
"Woman you say I have an ego, yet you could rant on about yourself till hell freezes over and utter chaos is unleashed, which wouldn't stop you anyway but at least give you another topic to discuss."
"Vegeta shut the fff-Hey MUM!"
"OHH Bulma dear is that you?"
"YEAH IT IS MUM! Oh it's so good to see you how are you?"
"I'm fine dear thank you, and how are you, or, who is that most attractive man behind you?"
"MUM, that's Vegeta, remember, the Saiyan"
"PRINCE"
"Urgh, Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince"
"Oh Vegeta it's so nice to see you, you are look well and if I do say so myself very handsome in-"
"Mum, Mum, MUM, sorry we haven't got a lot of time to talk can I see dad please?"
"Oh hunny, I'm sorry hunny, but your father is…dead."
Suddenly the room fell silently.
Bulma stood completely paralyzed staring up at a now sobbing Mrs. Briefs.
'NO…no…he can't be dead, he just can't be dead….HE CAN'T'
"HE CAN'T BE DEAD,NOOOO" suddenly something clicked inside Bulma, she started to kick and smack the control panel, screaming and crying uncontrollably, turning it off in the process. Suddenly she felt a tight grasp around her body, trying to contain her from vandalizing the equipment. Suddenly,
"Whose there? Come out now!" it was Zarbon's voice, which shocked Vegeta making him release Bulma in which she took that chance to sprint out of the room. Vegeta instantly reacted and followed her to see her being grasped by Zarbon's slimly vile fingers. Vegeta suddenly went into a blinding rage he wasn't letting that sick bastard touch her.
"Get the fuck off her" he screamed, while charging head on to kick him in the head with his gold pointed tip white boot. The impact of foot to head made Zarbon release Bulma before flying into the wall head first. Vegeta took this opportunity to grab Bulma and fly swiftly to safety which turned out to be an old abandoned spaceship garage. Setting down Bulma on the floor he quickly scanned the room for any signs of ki or approaching ki, nothing. He stared down at the broken girl before him. She started to shiver viciously so Vegeta sat next to her and flared his ki. Not liking what was going on at all.
"Why did he die Vegeta ?"
'Ah shit!'
"Because he was old and everyone dies sometime, it was his turn."
"But why didn't he say something before? He could have told me, I could have done something!"
"What would you have done?Worry?Obviously didn't want you to worry."
Bulma feel silent. She got up and started to pace the room, Vegeta just watched, actually having nothing to say. Stopping dead in her tracks her faced the mighty Prince and scowled.
"He should have told me, he shouldn't have died, he said he would come and find me, he said he would always be there for me, he lied HE LIED!" Vegeta got up and walked Bulma where they were now facing each other. Vegeta stared calmly at the woman in front of him. He had never seen her like this before. Her face was flushed yet hard, and she stood her ground, heavily breathing, yet shook every time she exhaled. Vegeta caught her eyes in his. They were cold and full of anger, yet he could see tears penetrating the brims. He suddenly understood that she was sub-pressing her true emotion, hiding it with anger and bitterness, and for some reason he hated it. Lifting her face to look him square in the eye he softly spoke.
"Bulma, it's ok to be sad." These few words struck a nerve, rendering Bulma helpless against her tears. Her vision was impaired and all she could feel was her body shaking violently with every sob, until she was brought into the most comforting embrace. Again her face was lifted to face the Princes, and she could feel his thumbs gently rub away the tears that rolled down her cheeks. Suddenly Bulma clutched on his armor, wanting to keep close while she pressed her lips against his. She kissed him passionately yet desperately, like he was her only hope for survival, and Vegeta complied, saving her.
Wine swirled swiftly around in a perfect crystal glass, before it met two cold purple lips. Lord Frieza took a swig of the finest wine the galaxy had to offer, before setting it aside.
"So you are telling me that you have suspicion the little monkey and his girlfriend were in the control room?"
"Yes, I saw them coming from that direction, and when I went inside to investigate I found a blue strand of hair on the control panel. Then when I looked up last location on it, it read 'Earth' my Lord." Zarbon smirked, now that little shit would finally get the punishment he deserved.
"I see, Zarbon rise and get me the doctor, I think interrogation is in order, and I know exactly how to set our little monkey straight." The tryant laughed and downed his wine before tossing the glass aside, making it smash into unfixable pieces. Zarbon nodded, bowed and left the room. Alone, Frieza walked over to where Zarbon just stood and picked up the blue strand of hair and examined it.
"Oh yes, I defiantly know how" he laughed menacingly as he twirled the piece of hair with his murderous fingers.
