Fates Way
Chapter Eight
Bulma forgot to breath for a few short seconds, as the pink blob smirked coldly and eyed up her body with interest.
This guy was even creepier than the friends her father had; the blue slimy tongue shot out again and licked his lips as he sniffed the air strangely.
"Excuse…. Excuse me." Bulma stuttered as she attempted to walk around the puffy alien.
She got half way around, before a strong hand grabbed her from behind, followed by a menacing chuckle.
Screaming as the alien touched her butt, she frantically tried to kick out from his strong grasp.
Why had she chosen to come to this stupid planet in the first place? No wait, why had she been forced to come to his stupid planet! If it wasn't for her father and the dumb king, not to mention the sarcastic horrid prince who was as mean as he was sexy… this was in no way her fault!
She was about to get eaten by this weird creature that looked like he had just walked out of a horror movie shoot. If he didn't eat her…
Bulma released the loudest scream of her life, it echoed around all the halls and continued to penetrate around most of the castle. Durdoria growled angrily before moving his hands up to her throat preventing her from screaming any further.
Prince Vegeta looked up from the long table he was now sitting upon; his father and some important fighters were also sitting upon their table with Freeza and his men sitting at the other end. Dr Briefs was sitting next to King Vegeta and was fidgeting with a napkin folding it in a variety of different ways to try and calm his nerves.
The prince cocked his head as he heard the loud scream, it seemed to be coming from the other wing of the castle… something inside of him fluttered as he guessed whom it must be.
Quickly excusing himself, before receiving death glares from everybody at the table except Freeza who looked amused. Vegeta rushed from the ballroom, never before had he felt so strange. It was obvious that the girl was in trouble he could sense it from afar.
As he tried to sense her powerlevel, he cursed himself for leaving his scouter back in his room. She could be anywhere from the kitchens to the gardens.
Focussing hard, he felt his heart thumping through his chest. He needed to find the princess; if anything happened to her he would certainly be a dead boy.
Thinking of the amused look Freeza shot, he growled loudly.
If anything happened to her he would make sure everybody paid with his or her life. He had only known her a few hours but already he was feeling oddly protective towards the blue haired alien girl.
It was unusual, he usually only kept his feelings for himself. The only time he had ever cried was when his mother had passed away and even then he had been a very young boy.
'Scream again woman.' Vegeta found himself pleading.
After that deafening scream Vegeta had neither heard nor felt anything. It was a bad sign, he felt a lump growing in his throat as he slammed through another set of doors and took to flying.
If he went back to his room he could find his scouter and hopefully locate her, with luck it was a servant or another female screaming. Freeza had probably bought some additional females with him; it wasn't like his men to travel without their concubines.
Turning the corner, he saw the familiar life size portrait of his father. Growling he rushed down the stone paved hall towards the bedrooms.
He hoped that the girl would be in her room getting changed, it was a possibility. Before he rushed off to save the day, he would check her room first.
Bulma paled as the pink slimy hands gripped her neck even tighter. The air was being squeezed from her lungs as she tried to gasp for oxygen. Dodoria was laughing madly, as with his other hand he proceeded to gently stroke her soft blue hair.
Bulma let out an almost silent squeal, as she closed her eyes and prayed to all the gods that this wasn't the end. It was useless fighting against this monster. Nobody had heard her screams she was as alone as she was ever going to be.
A salty tear slid down her cheek landing onto the stone floor. Dodoria flicked out his slimy purple tongue eagerly as she proceeded to sob and place her hands desperately upon his grip.
It was useless trying to fight his monster away; her life was going to end at the clutches of a pink bubble gum ball. His heavy breathing was causing her to feel nauseous as he chuckled to himself menacingly.
His breath smelt vaguely of staled fish it made her want to vomit if only he hadn't been squeezing her fragile neck so tight.
The sight that met the prince made his stomach tighten and the blood pale from his face. The blue haired princess was being held in the air by one of Freezas strongest henchman and she looked in pain.
As she fluttered her chest slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Her body was not completely still just yet, he cursed himself for taking so long in finding her as he quickly made his presence known.
He was going to teach that useless baka henchman of Freezas a lesson. He had to save the girl; if she died he would never forgive himself.
"FOOL!" Vegeta roared, as he charged around the corner and shoved hard into the large pink man.
It did no use; he rebounded off the soft body almost instantly; before Bulma finally fluttered her eyelids opened.
"GO AWAY MONKEY BOY! SHE'S MINE!" Dodoria spat, before he violently juggled Bulma in his huge arms.
She released a slight squeal of pain; all Vegeta could now feel was pure rage and hatred towards this idiot. Powering up he glowed bright blue, if he died taking on this monster then it would be worthwhile. He was going to cause so much pain he would scream out for forgiveness, nobody messed with the prince of all Saiyans.
"Oh look the monkey can do some little tricks." Dodoria hissed as he slammed Bulma against the wall, fortunately loosening his grip on her neck slightly.
She breathed in the precious oxygen as the pain swept through her back and legs. She was being crushed by this two tonne alien and their was nothing she could do. She could hear Vegeta roaring with anger, but then everything went black.
The scouters in the ballroom were going crazy as the prince continued to power up, Freeza continued to sip his wine and smirk, observing the shooting power levels from both Dodoria and Vegeta. It would prove to be interesting, the King was busy trying to keep his subjects attention as all the guards whispered to one another.
Nobody wanted to mess with the prince when he was in a mood like this; even Nappa was hiding in the corner wedging Syriassan legs in his mouth. If he stayed hidden he would hopefully not have to find out what was making the youngster so angry.
Few could tell who the other fighter was; Dr Briefs was now just noticing that his daughter was still not present for the food. As he grabbed some more of the strange tasty meat, he washed that thought away believing that she would turn up very soon.
The battle had been taken outside, Vegeta had forced a large gaping hole through one of the stone castles walls and had blasted the pink gut of Dodoria straight outside into the gardens.
"NOBODY ATTACKS MY-" Vegeta stopped himself before he even finished the sentence.
He was about to call the annoying feisty female his mate. What on any planet or in any galaxy had possessed him to say that? Dodoria was busy concentrating on avoiding the strange eel monsters that were hungrily diving out of the lake below them.
Vegeta continued to power up, the wind picking up and the dust and stones vibrating and rising into the air along with his huge power.
Dodoria was beginning to sweat, last time he had checked the kid had much less power.
"If you kill me Freeza will certainly destroy you boy."
"I'm sure that Lord Freeza won't miss a snivelling weakling like yourself, you attack a female who cannot defend herself!!!"
Dodoria felt his legs shake slightly, he was truly feeling afraid he had not been able to hit the kid once and yet the youngster had sent a barrage of incredibly painful blasts hitting him each time.
It was almost as if the prince was toying with him.
Vegeta continued to yell as loud as he could, the ground was shaking violently now as if a huge earthquake were happening before them.
This was as fun to the prince as training, and in training he never had a chance to test his strength this much against a real opponent.
The female was hurt; he could hear her awakening from below them in the stone corridor. She was sobbing loudly and wailing with what could only be pain, why weren't her kind strong like Saiyans….
Thanking his sensitive ears mentally for allowing him to know she was alive, he continued to generate even more power.
He had some old scores to settle with this pink balloon faced freak. Some were from way back when he was just a young boy.
Dodoria frantically threw a large orange blast of energy his way, Vegeta let it hit him and just growled forcing even more power to seep through his body.
His tail was frantically flickering as he pushed his body to intense levels, he had been training every day in intense gravity he needed to become the legendary super Saiyan… he was the strongest on the planet.
Freeza deserved to be afraid; Vegeta had just three goals in life. Become a super Saiyan, defeat Freeza and become ruler of everything.
"Fool you mess with the legendary Super Saiyan!" Vegeta scoffed, as he watched Dodoria begin to grow teary eyed.
The pink blob began shaking violently not with anger but a different weaker energy. 'There's no way this kid…'
Vegeta released the giant ball of energy, as he pushed his hands together and fired a huge array of individual balls. Each with more power than the first, and each hitting its big pink target.
The large fanged sea monsters were eagerly splashing out of the water waiting for the weakened pink monster to certainly fall to his death. The water was rippling with the energy the prince was still generating, causing them to only grow hungrier.
The King and all the other occupants of the room excluding Freeza had rushed from the ballroom and out of the glass doors leading into the main palace gardens.
The ground was still shaking, and the glasses that had been carefully balanced had mostly fallen onto the hard ground and smashed into sharp shards glistening in the light.
Freeza was still sitting calmly laughing to himself, as he examined Vegetas huge power level shoot through the roof. The boy was certainly becoming a strong warrior. He sipped his wine, and flickered his tail excitedly he was surprised that his henchman Dodoria was receiving a beating from a monkey boy.
Zarbon was still by his side, he was shocked but waiting for Lord Freezas response. He was prepared to enter the battlefield and destroy the brat if needed. At the present time Freeza hadn't issued any orders so he was resuming his position and holding a fresh glass of wine.
Vegeta wasn't even wearing his battle armour; if he was hit by a ki it would cause much more pain and damage. Dodoria on the other hand had several large holes penetrating his super strong fighting armour. Blood was searing from a large gash on his left arm, and was falling into the water causing the huge monsters to grow even more bloodthirsty.
"If you kill me Lord Freeza will destroy you and your pathetic planet Saiyan!"
"You do think highly of yourself don't you fish face."
With that Vegeta launched another barrage of attacks, this time it was his famous Gallic gun. He was faced with his thoughts swarming, for the first time in his life he found his inner thoughts not entirely with him on the battlefield. They were focussing on Bulma, and what little movement she seemed to be making from inside the castle.
The guests were standing astounded by the golden doors; the glass had miraculously stayed in tack despite the ground shaking power the young Saiyan was letting off. The King was growling in both anticipation for his son to win, and also with a bubbling rage.
Freeza would not see it lightly that a youngster was making mince meat of one of his so called finest warriors.
Everyone gasped as the gallick gun blinded them with bright light. Nobody could see what was going on, scouters were going off like crazy.
"The prince has reached powerlevel 1600!" gasped an Elite, as he re-checked the data again.
It was power that nobody outside with the exception of the king, had ever seen before.
As the stray blasts hit the water, giant plumes shot into the air much higher than the prince was hovering. They shot as far as the eye could see, causing yet even more surprised and shocked noises from the crowd.
The ground rocked with the impact, the hungry sea creatures dived back under the water for safety. As the castle shook with a shocking force similar to an erupting volcano Saiyan's lost their footing whilst Freeza still inside just cackled with laughter.
Bulma groaned in pain, as she noticed blood seeping from a deep cut on her arm. Blinking back the pain from her aching head, she attempted to sit up and recall what had happened.
All around her debris and shards of rock surrounded her, along with a pool of blue coloured blood.
As she heard Dodoria scream in pain, she forced her aching neck up through the gaping hole and could make out the half naked Saiyan prince vigorously attacking the strange pink alien.
All of a sudden the prince disappeared, leaving not only her wondering but also Dodoria.
Materialising in the air behind him, he slammed his fists into a club shape and knocked the pink blob directly into the rippling green lake below.
It was in those few seconds that she finally remembered what had happened, gritting her teeth at being saved by the ignorant prince she tried to force the pain from her mind.
Finally she pulled herself up with the aid of a large concrete slab, which a few minutes earlier had been, part of the ancient castle wall.
Her poor legs were bleeding; she could see red blood seeping through the combat trousers as she released a painful gasp.
She had really gotten beaten up.
Her first day on this stupid planet and she'd been attacked by an alien pirate, caught in a blast, and met a dead handsome prince who was one hundred percent arrogant and a part-time space pirate.
Life was looking pretty rosy.
Vegeta flew down the glistening surface of the water, the moonlight was shining now causing a bright yellow reflection.
Dodoria could only be thankful that Vegetaseii had a full moon once every 60 years.
Purple coloured blood was staining the surface of the lake, as Vegeta growled in anger.
The sea monsters could feast on the lowlife's carcass for all he cared.
Remembering Bulma, he quickly ignored the applauding crowd and shot off directly down to the area he had left her. His tail was flickering with the adrenalin of the battle he had just won.
One of Freezas strongest henchman had been defeated as if he were nothing but a weakling.
A huge eco-boost for the prince, he was certainly almost a super Saiyan.
Vegeta ignored the calls from is angry father, and the pleads from the guards as he powered down and flew through the gaping hole in the wall. He needed to know that the girl was okay; somehow it was his main priority and was above anything else.
It didn't look as though anybody else had even realised that she was caught up in the battle, or in fact that she was the cause.
The huge dinosaur serpents circled hungrily, fresh blood was staining the water red as a chewed up set of armour surfaced getting tangled in some weeds.
After discovering there was no more meat, they dived back to the dark depths and continued to swim and forage.
Disclaimer: sorry that was one of the first battle sequences I have ever had to write, so it might be a bit crappy. Think that maybe I need some more practise on those….
Well looks like dodoria has paid the ultimate price… was it a bad mistake on Vegetas part, is Bulma going to be okay? Where oh where has Radditz been?
All your questions will soon be answered! You've just got to review and wait patiently for the next chapter!
Expect some b/v to be happening quite soon… or maybe I shall make you all wait.
Hahaha I am so evil.
Please review! Much appreciated!
Love you all loads! Xxx
