CHAPTER FOUR

"VEGETAAAAAAA" A deep voice screamed out, this was followed by a loud crash that could have rivalled a volcano erupting especially to the sleepy Sayan Prince and his wife.

The Sayan prince and the blue heiress both awoke instantly; Bulma clutched Vegeta by the neck, he had jumped up and formed a Ki in the palm of his hand ready to blow whoever had dared disturb him into a billion pieces.

"Not likely to work Princey" said the first voice, with that a strange unfamiliar blue ray was fired directly at Vegeta and Bulma, he dived in front of Bulma blocking it easily knocking her back onto the bed and deflecting it away from them. Quickly he turned Super Sayan ready to kill whoever had dared to attack them both, he was not just angry at being disturbed after his lovemaking session he was also feeling very protective towards his mate.

"Now that was dangerous sir," the second person said, to the first, they sounded more timid and quiet than the first. They added "If that would have hit the blue haired lady…"

Vegeta suddenly froze to the spot, there was nothing he could do he seemed almost paralysed. Trying his hardest to powerup all he achieved was getting out of breath, His hair turned from the brilliant golden blonde back to his natural black hair colour as he powered down. The Sayan hadn't felt so defensive in all his life. He believed the ray had been deflected but it seemed it had soaked into his body somehow.

"You bastards… what have you DONE TO HIM!" Bulma screamed as she held her husband who was beginning to sweat, his temperature was rising incredibly as if he had a nasty fever. He began to feel as if he was losing consciousness, the bedroom wouldn't stop spinning. His strong muscular legs gave way as he collapsed back onto the bed; it felt as though he was on some extremely strong drugs.

'Who… what are you?" Vegeta asked shakily as he laid down on the pillow, it felt as if all his power had been drained like he was an old man. He couldn't even see Bulma who was next to him on the mattress everything seemed so far away.

"We were sent to get you buster. Yamma's really not happy with you for your recent show of behaviour. He gave us this cool new toy to use on you. Our information was correct though, yep it's true I am a genius! We thought you'd go looking for your bitch and I was right." The first person said finally standing out of the shadows of the room.

"Yamcha… it cant be!" Bulma said awed, suddenly completely forgetting about Vegeta who was powerless and in much pain lying on the bed next to her. She felt pure rage seep through her blood when she saw her ex. The second figure crawled out behind Yamcha, it was a strange green alien that didn't stand much taller than Guldo maybe he was even a relative.

"Oh I see you've got a new bum boy," Bulma growled, as she looked over to the little green alien who seemed to be keeping his distance. Yamcha was laughing like a maniac he had the strange gun clenched tightly in his grip.

"Look at your poor defenceless monkey… this is what happens when a monkey takes what is mine and thinks he can get away with it…" Yamcha leaned over to Vegeta who was panting and seemed to be struggling to breath, whatever was in the blue ray was taking its toll he was a super sayan and now he'd been reduced to being more defenceless than a newborn baby.

"Yam… Yamma said not to use the gun that strong…" warned the short green man as he eyed up the Sayan who seemed to be dying even though he was already dead. The Halo above his head was fading with each painful breath he took. Bulma looked back to Vegeta and a pang was felt in her heart, never in her life had she seen him so weak and in so much pain must this have been what he felt like when Freeza killed him. It was taboo to talk about it back on Earth; he was obviously ashamed of getting killed by his old master Bulma could only try and imagine what kind of life the young Prince had led.

"I mean it Yamcha I'm warning you… if anything happens to him." Warned Bulma as she lifted up Vegeta's head off the pillow and cradled him in her arms, he had an extremely high fever and appeared to be slipping in and out of consciousness. What scared her even more was if the gun had done this much damage to the legendary prince then what would it have done to a mere human like her. The only thing that made her feel slightly at ease was the fact that Vegeta was already dead so this suffering couldn't last much longer.

"He's already dead princess " Yamcha said his voice seemed different; he skilfully flicked the gun from hand to hand smiling to himself.

"I'm sorry let me explain…" the little green alien said as he touched his halo above his head in a nervous manner. Bulma glared straight at the little man blocking her ex from her view.

"Well what the hell is going on!" screamed Bulma, Vegeta cringed at the loud noise she had just made, he was still conscious enough to pick up the conversation and she made had made him jump; she tenderly stroked his hair in a soothing manner.

"King Yamma commanded for two people to go and find him." The green alien said quietly then he continued. "Me and Yamcha were the first two with worthy power levels to take the task in hand, the others are all back on Earth. It seems Yamma ordered Yamcha because he was the next in the queue to get assessed on if he's going up or down…" the green man gulped nervously.

Bulma was getting more agitated by the second, Yamcha was glaring dangerously at her and Vegeta but let the dead alien continue his tale.

"GET ON WITH IT" Bulma shouted angrily thumping the bedpost in frustration; poor Vegeta shuddered at the impact. At that second she had the rage of a true Sayan, if anyone was going to piss her off they were going to pay very dearly.

"Vegeta escaped from Yamma he didn't want to go back down to HFIL, his majesty was not happy, he gave us that gun instructed us to find him shoot him and then bring his body back to get transported to HFIL." He said in one breath very quickly.

Bulma's eyes grew wide when she realised the problem, what she had overheard earlier had been her husband escaping the wrath of King Yamma, she couldn't blame him he had been to HFIL before and it hadn't been pretty from the stories he had told her. Small prison cells, overcrowding, little sleep, small amounts of food. Quite the contrast to where Bulma had been sent.

"So… he will be okay." She whispered as her husband groaned to himself as if he was having a nightmare, he had sweat beading down his forehead, the blankets had fallen onto the floor revealing them both in nothing but underwear.

"Depends, Yamma was really angry. This was only supposed to paralyse him miss Bulma I assume?" the alien said politely as he took a step closer.

"Paralyse him! He looks like he's dying!" Bulma said stroking his hair once again, this seemed to comfort him and he smiled to himself in a cute way. Tears began to well up in her eyes, she was scared she was going to lose him, their was no way he could die but if he did get sent to Home for Infinite Losers she may never get to see him again.

Yamcha interrupted rudely. "Don't worry Bulma babe! I'm a shoulder to cry on! You don't need him I am ten times the man he is just look how strong the mighty monkey really is!" he took a step closer this was a big mistake…

Bulma lunged forwards knocking Yamcha directly into the wooden wall of the house, she had never felt power like it before in her life; fuelled by blind rage she began to throw strong punches at her childhood sweetheart, he was shocked he couldn't even move, the gun fell out of his grasp landing on the floor as Bulma continued to pummel him.

"You Bastard. You fucking bastard." She sobbed in between punches, suddenly the fight swivelled around as Yamcha began to fight back; he pulled Bulma's arms, as she was about to strike his bloody nose again. Easily he twisted her arms and slammed her back against the wall pinning her down. He pushed all his body weight onto her and leaned so close his breath was meeting hers. Bulma could feel his groin tightening at this close contact she could do nothing but close her eyes…
