Chapter 3: The Prince of Arrogance and the Comeback Queen
It had been three weeks, three long agonizing weeks since the royal pain in her ass had crashed his ship in her yard, and himself into her life. For three weeks now she had been working on his gravity machine, so he could train even more than he already did, so he could reach his goal, his birthright and the only thing he cared about, becoming a Super Saiyin and finally beating Goku. Bulma stood in awe at her hard work. For three weeks now Dr. and Bulma Briefs had slaved over the gravity chamber, making it stronger, better, bigger and more useful than ever before. Now they gave each other a nod and grin and walked towards their glorious accomplishment. After all the tears, blood, sweat and pain that they had put into the GR (gravity room) it was finally finished and they had all the confidence in the world that even the mighty Saiyin no Ouji would be pleased.
The scowl never left his face, not once, not even for a second. He looked up and down, all over the GR, but never once did the scowl leave his face. Dr. and Bulma Briefs stood in shock as the mighty Prince Vegeta paced the floor of the GR. Finally he broke the silence, "It took three weeks for this? Your puny brains really did try…and yet this was the best you could do… pathetic. I suppose it will do though." He started to stretch his legs against the hard floor, "You can leave now." Bulma was too shocked to speak, her mouth dropped to the floor and her father just nodded and escorted her out of the chambers. In the background you could hear the bots activating and the prince training to become a super saiyin.
"Hey babe, what's up?" Bulma looked up from her magazine to see a smiley and bright Yamcha. "O, not much. I just….Vegeta, he is driving me crazy." Yamcha rolled his eyes, this was about the ten thousandth time she had talked about Vegeta this week, "Geez Bulma with how much you talk about him, I am starting to think you have a thing for him." Yamcha laughed in spite of himself, honestly he was worried, but he was too afraid to admit it to himself. "Ohh PLEASE!" Bulma through down her magazine and started on another Vegeta tirade, "That self-centered, egotistical maniac?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest; much like the prince did and stormed off. Puar jumped out from behind Yamcha, "That Bulma, she sure is angry." Yamcha didn't say anything, he was hypnotized by the curve of her hips and ass, the way it swayed as she stormed off.
"Mmmm Bulma this is great." Oolong spit out as he devoured his fifth helping of BBQ ribs, compliments of chef Bulma. Vegeta had decided to take a short brake from his training and join them today, he wasn't about to miss out on Bulma's cooking. The glass broke with a loud crash, "So he failed after all and Freiza is still alive." They all looked up at him in sheer terror; Yamcha was the first to speak, "No Way! How do you know anyway?" "Because I make it my business to know, unlike you." Yamcha had had enough; he was tired of being put down by the prince, especially in front of Bulma and the others. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Vegeta stood up embracing the challenge, or lack there of in this case. He was in a bad mood which was rapidly declining. He was not a Super Saiyin yet, Kakorot was no where to be found and now Freiza was coming back to Earth for revenge….and he was not alone. "Hey Vegeta," Bulma poked him playfully in the ribs, "You want some more BBQ sauce on your spare ribs?" Vegeta turned to her, a little surprised at her calmness and pleased to be getting attention, "Sure why not?" He smirked at her as she handed him his plate of food. The others stared at shock in her.
"I'm going and that's final!" Bulma screamed at Yamcha, and he knew he had lost. Few were a match and none a challenge for Bulma when it came to a battle of wits, or who could scream the loudest. "But…Bulma." Yamcha pathetically tried one last time to persuade her into not going to the battle with Freiza. Bulma crossed her arms, than flicked her hair and with a wink she stated, "Don't worry I can take care of myself." Yamcha knew he had lost, and there was nothing he could do about it.
They all were to meet in the desert, an arid and dry place, about two miles from where Freiza would land. Krillin and Gohan landed together and greeted Bulma and Yamcha. "Hiya guys!" They looked around, "O hey Vegeta." Humph, Vegeta refused to face them. Everyone else was suited out in their uniforms, except Vegeta, he was still wearing the pink shirt that ironically said "Bad Man" on the back. The others stifled a giggle as they noticed his shirt. Just then Tien arrived, and unhappily spotted Vegeta, he was still upset about the whole being killed at the hands of Vegeta think. "What!? Why are you here?" Vegeta turned around, happy at the chance to argue with someone, "Is that ok?" Tien responded, "as a matter of fact it isn't." Their arguing continued on for a few more minutes, until Piccolo put and end to it. "Stop making all this noise." Humph was all Vegeta did and continued to silently taunt the others.
They could all feel him now, closer than ever, and even stronger than before. And to everyone's demise he was not alone. Freiza. "Bulma are you sure you want to go through with this", it was Yamcha who was afraid, not Bulma. "Of course I'm sure, I missed my chance to see him on Namek and now I get my second chance." Bulma was the adventurous sort and missed being part of the action, she felt useless when she was on Namek and never wanted a repeat of that again. No, she was Bulma Briefs,
heir to the Capsule Corp. thrown and beautiful genius. Vegeta turned around and smirked, "At least one of you losers is brave." With that he took off, the others followed, Yamcha somewhat reluctantly grabbed Bulma around the waist and took off after the others. That onna is brave, she actually shows some potential, but that stupid baka human of hers he is always around. So annoying. I have a battle to focus on; the onna will have to wait. Vegeta glared at Yamcha as he noticed him holding Bulma and kicked his speed up tremendously. About a mile away from where Freiza was to land he stopped. "Listen you fools, we don't want him to sense our power levels, and we'll have to walk from here." Vegeta powered down and the others soon followed. Yamcha paused, "I don't think I can do this guys. I mean I just came back to life, I don't want to die again…and Goku…" Vegeta glared at him and started laughing, "Of course you rely on Goku, you weakling, go ahead and stay you will be of no use to us anyway." "Yamcha," Bulma begged with her eyes, "Don't be a baby." "But Bulma…" Bulma had already started to climb the cliffs, Yamcha sighed and continued to follow suit.
They had to go slow, as to be unnoticed, so it took them about half an hour to go one mile. Right before they had reached the place where Freiza's ship had landed, they braced themselves. They knew that this could be the end of them, and the Z warriors had to go into battle, even if was a nearly impossible battle to win. Just as Vegeta started to lead the way, they all fell down. A new tremendous power had just appeared and quickly wiped out Freiza. By the time the Z warriors made it to where Freiza had been, there was nothing left, just a boy with purple hair, a Saiyin. Who is this boy? There are no Saiyins left, only Kakorot and his brat and myself. This boy is up to something. The mysterious boy only nodded and said that Goku would be returning soon, he said he needed to talk to him. None of them trusted the boy, but they had little else to rely on, he was obviously powerful, but seemed to be on their side. So they all waited for Goku and when he finally arrived the boy and him went off to talk. Only piccolo and his superior hearing could tell what they were talking about, the others just cringed and waited. Vegeta kept glaring at the boy as he swear that they were looking at him, and even Bulma had to give them the evil eye when they said her name and Goku practically fainted.
By the time they were done talking and Goku had joined the others, the mysterious boy left and Goku told the others of a threat coming to Earth, one that could and probably would kill them all. So they went out to train and wait for three years. For in three years time a lot can change, and by the time the androids did arrive, a lot would have changed. The last thing Goku said before they departed was, "Have a healthy baby Bulma."
(A/N)- I decided to leave off at that point, don't worry the fun stuff begins soon, ( I know I keep saying that) Please give me feed-back on what I can change or fix or any suggestions for the future. Until than,
Peace be your journey. O and if I forget the disclaimer it is because I am lazy, not because I won the lottery and bought DBZ.
