***To the guest that reviewed about Yamcha, consequently…..lol he has a slight bigger spot in the story than you think. Probably not in a way you might tho ;) Enjoy!****
2 months have passed since their arrival to Earth. Ever since Vegeta had turned Super Saiyan, he demanded that Kakarot catch up with him so that he would be more efficient to spar with. Eva and Bulma have almost finished the shield, all it needed was a test run and then it would be fully operational. Even with all the progress, something didnt feel right with Eva.
Bulma had become more stressed and frustrated with things more than usual. Whenever Eva would bring it up, Bulma would blush, avert her eyes, start messing with the hem of her shirt before ensuring Eva that it was nothing. Even as the days drifted on Eva made it a goal to keep an eye on her friend to see what was wrong...she was stumped tho.
When Eva descended down the stairs after breakfast she heard two voices in the lab. She didn't mean to eavesdrop but they were talking so loudly. "Bulma you are being unreasonable!" Yamcha said sternly. Eva leaned against the wall and watched out of the corner of her eye into the lab.
Bulma had tears in her eyes, which were filled with confusion and panic. "Yamcha! Absolutely not! Now that Vegeta has turned Super Saiyan he can destroy that monster...that thing that killed my parents." Her hands by her side were shaking.
"But Bulma, you and I both know that as soon as they defeat the Cold Empire, the King will be just as ruthless as Freiza. Same as the prince when takes the throne..." Bulma shook furiously in anger. "NO! They are not like that. I grew up with them , you dont know how they are like. I do! They will never be like that monster!"
"Really Bulma? Is that what you think? Where do you think they send their children, even your prince?" Yamcha's eyes darkened as he grabbed Bulma by her shoulders. "They go to planets that will not join their empire and PURGE them! Men, women and children...gone..."
Bulma's eyes grew wide as the words came from Yamcha's mouth. "How do you know this Yamcha..." Her voice was quivering, her body shaking in fear. "One of Freiza's men contacted me while I was with you on your interplanetary conference...and told me the truth that the Saiyans have been hiding from you all this time..."
"But Eva...She...she couldnt have known..." Bulma said her eyes watering, her hand to her mouth. "Knew Bulma? She was sent on some missions against nearby revolts on the empire and destroyed armies with a wave of her hand!" Bulma glared at Yamcha but as she opened her mouth Eva stepped in.
She was completely livid and beside herself at Yamcha. Her eyes were filled with orange anger, her arms crossed in front of her as she peered into Yamcha's eyes as if to grab his soul. Bulma's eyes went wide with shock, Yamcha glared back at Eva holding Bulma in his arms.
"I warned you Yamcha...if you ever hurt Bulma, horrific things will happen. But it seems you took a step, NO, a leap beyond that and crossed a line you shouldnt have even looked at..." She uncrossed her arms and started to take slow steps at Yamcha before she stopped before him, she looked sadly at Bulma. "Bulma, I am sorry you had to learn of this from HIM...i thought the fact was silently understood."
Bulma looked at Eva with the same sadness before peering down at the ground. It hurt Eva to see her friend so disheartened and confused. "You must understand though...all empires, including the ones on this planet, must conquer those that which to defy the empire."
Yamcha pointed at Eva and started to yell. "What did I tell you Bulma! Right from the horse's mouth." Eva gave him a glance before fire whipped from her, wrapped around Yamcha and pinned him against the wall covering his mouth. "I will deal with you in a second you disgusting rat traitor..." She said softly, deadly, making Yamcha shake under the coils of fire that were not burning him.
Bulma was about to run to him but then Eva phased in front of her, her eyes pleading with her to stop. "Bulma wait...let me finish. Its only fair that you hear both sides of the story..." Bulma looked up at Eva, gritting her teeth, her eyes still filled with confusion. "Do I even have a choice?" She said softly causing Eva to give a slight smile.
"You have always been given a choice Bulma. We have been friends since we were kids...have I ever steered you wrong?" Bulma eyes went wide and then gave Eva a soft smile, shaking her head, causing Yamcha to struggle against the coils. "No Eva...you never have...tell me what you have to say."
"All empires revolve around war Bulma. The planets we purge are planets that would either destroy themselves or would attempt to destroy the empire. However, Yamcha, did not mention an important fact..." Eva gave him a side glance filled with hate. Yamcha stopped struggling for a second,his face paling.
"Each planet that we send soldiers to, scan to see if there is any civilization. If there is, we send a diplomat who offers them a place in the empire. If they accept, they will receive protection from rival empires/planets, trading with the Saiyan Empire as a place on a democratic council that is made of the rest of planets in the empire's diplomats. Their decisions will be governed and sent to an elder who sends it to the King."
As Eva told Bulma of how the intricate system of politics work with purging planets, her face started to calm down and she started to nod in understanding. Bulma then gave Eva a puzzled look. "What about the planets that want to be independent and want nothing to do with the Empire?"
Eva put her hands on her hips and looked at her with confident eyes. "IF their reasons are non threatening to the empire, they are noted on a galactic map to be monitored for future threats to the empire. If there are threats against the Empire in any way shape or form, that planet will be purged for the safety of nearby military bases on neighboring planets that are under the empire."
Bulma nodded in understanding. "So they are given the option to join? It is not like you are conquering resisting forces?" Eva shook her head. "It is much easier to govern an empire if its subjects WANT to be part of the empire. What Yamcha said...is a biased lie from the cold empire meant only to spite our empire and to gain information from him."
When Eva said the last part Bulma's eyes went wide and filled with anger. Eva turned to Yamcha and had a large smirk on her face. Yamcha didnt move an inch...he literally can see his life's end in front of him...walking slowly toward him surrounded in flames.
"did you really think I wouldnt know?" Eva said softly. "That someone would gain access to my computers over the years under the cover of Bulma's login. Did you really think I wouldnt keep track of what 'Bulma' saw in my computer? She does the same thing when I access her computers."
Bulma nodded crossing her arms, finally understand what Yamcha had done, causing tears of anger to fill her eyes. She felt so foolish and most of all betrayed by the man who she thought loved her more than anything else.
"Eva and I both agreed to those conditions when we set up different labs on Planet Vegeta just in case this sort of things would happen. But to think it would happen here...Why Yamcha...why would do something behind my back?"
Eva willed a sleeve of flame to unwrap around Yamcha's face allowing him to speak. His voice was cracked and weak as he stared at Bulma sadly. "I...I wanted to protect you Bulma. You have to understand...I care about you more than anything...especially more than empire that rules over you!" He said spatting at the ground.
"When I first met you Bulma, it took months for you to open up to me! All because that stupid Prince couldnt keep it in his pants-" "Watch your mouth! Its one thing to for me to call him stupid for such an act and another thing when a treacherous swine calls him that." Eva yelled, making the flames wrapped around him tighter forcing him to cry out in pain.
"What makes you think you still can do that? Yes, it took months for me to recover but I was happy with you Yamcha!" Bulma yelled ignoring the sad look on Eva's face. "I dont need protection, Eva will always be there to protect me. Dont you understand that the reason we were even able to meet is because of Eva's help and care?!"
Yamcha looked at Bulma with a shocked look. "Bulma, she is a monster! Look at what she is capable of! She has me pinned up to a wall with flames for crying out loud!" Eva sighed and unwrapped him from her flames and took a seat on a table. It seems this was going to be long argument and she only hoped that Vegeta wouldn't start looking for her soon.
MEANWHILE AT THE EDGE OF THE FOREST AND DESERT
Chi-Chi had just finished her warmup before Kakarot would arrive with that annoying prince. She was introduced to him a month ago and instantly didn't like his egotistical "I am better than thou" attitude. She frowned at the mere thought of him. Chi-Chi couldn't understand why Kakarot would bring him along to train with her. She was so close to learning how to fly too.
Just as she was thinking of Kakarot she sensed his energy coming closer, making her smile. Luckily Chi-Chi was able to learn quick to sense energy from Kakarot thanks to his constant tutoring. Sensing the second energy caused her to frown, (C) ugh he is here again...
Just as she finished the thought, Kakarot and Vegeta cleared the top of the mountain and landed at the edge of the forest in front of Chi-Chi. Kakarot waved and smiled happily at her, making her forget who had not moved once he landed, his arms crossed with a grumpy look on his face.
"Chi-Chi I think today is the day you will get it! How have you been?" Kakarot's smile couldnt grow any bigger as a soft blush was on his face. He loved nothing more than teaching Chi-Chi. It was something different from his near death spars with Vegeta.
"You get 2 hours Kakarot. We need to get you close to possible to becoming Super Saiyan. I doubt a third class warrior could achieve such a feat but considering your growth these past weeks...anything can happen." Vegeta scoffed, sticking his nose in the air. Even though Vegeta didnt like how Kakarot was interacting with the human, he used the two hours to train himself. Every time he transformed into Super Saiyan...he felt something more...past the initial hidden power...
This made Vegeta wonder weeks ago...could there be a level greater than Super Saiyan. And so he strived to become stronger, which meant during the two hours, while Kakarot trained the screaming banshee, he put the blasted cuffs on (new and improved ones that Eva developed) and trained under 800Gs in his Super Saiyan form.
Kakarot gave Vegeta a shocked looked and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Wow Vegeta, thanks! I think that is the closest compliment that you have ever given me." All this did was earn Kakarot a hmph and Vegeta blasting off to a further clearing to not be disturbed.
"He is such a jerk!" Chi-Chi said glaring at the flying prince. "Oh come on Chi-Chi, you just have to get used to him. He is actually not a bad guy." Kakarot said cheerfully. Chi-chi gave him a suspicious look before giving him a smile. "well you always look at the best of people...but more importantly! I am ready to fly!" Chi-Chi said with a determined look.
Kakarot nodded and began to power up lightly, ready to spar with her. She powered up fully and charged at him. She hoped that at the end of this training session it will give her enough of an increase to allow her to fly. The past couple weeks of training with Kakarot made her stronger than ever before, with the tournament only a month away she was determined to learn how to fly.
BACK AT THE LAB
Just as Eva released Yamcha and his feet touched the ground, Bulma stomped up to him and slapped him in the face. She was furious. "How dare you?! Who do you think you are calling her a monster? Do you know what she to put up with and how much she has done not only for me but for THIS planet!" She screamed at him causing him to stumble back.
Eva shook her head softly at the ridiculousness of the situation. Her scouter then started to beep, causing her to sigh and press the button while watching Yamcha stare at the floor while Bulma roared at him. "Hello?" "What are you doing now Princess?" Vegata's deep voice growled over the scouter.
"Well this morning has been quite eventful Vegeta, actually I am still quite busy dealing with a situation."
"Bulma?"
"Partly." Eva couldn't help at smile. Every time there was trouble it either involved Kakarot or Bulma. Since, Kakarot seemed preoccupied with as of late lady friend, Vegeta could only assume Bulma. "Partly?" His voice sounded curious. "Tell me what is causing this so called situation..."
Bulma slapped the table next to Yamcha causing him to flinch. "You have to understand Bulma! I am trying to save you from these tyrants-" "By giving information to the COLD EMPIRE, the same empire that killed my parents and wants to destroy EVERYTHING that I love?!" She roared her face turning red from complete fury.
Eva heard a silence over the scouter. "Did that give you enough info on the situation?" She said filled with humor. "5 minutes.." He said so deadly that it literally made Eva shudder and make her eyes wide. Before she could answer Vegeta turned off the communication.
"Bulma..." Eva gave her a wide eyed look that made her stop mid-sentence and look at her puzzled. "Eva whats wrong?" "Well...a certain prince kind of heard what was going on..." If Yamcha hadnt drained all the color in face before, it was now he personified death itself.
Bulma put her hands on her hips and sighed looking at the ground. "He is coming here isnt he?" She said softly raising her eyes back at Eva. Eva gave her a half smile and nodded. She felt his power come closer and closer...she figured he was mad...but enough to turn Super Saiyan over it and speed over here...apparently she was wrong...
Vegeta crashed through the multiple levels of the house until he landed in the middle of the lab shocking everyone in the lab. As the dust started to settle he stood straight up and pointed at Yamcha, his eyes filled with death. "Boy, you have single handily signed an order of my hand going through your chest and ripping out your soul painfully."
As soon as those words left Vegeta's mouth, Yamcha's knees buckled and he passed out, causing Eva to literally laugh out loud. Bulma placed her hand on her bright red face. Vegeta started to walk towards the passed out man ready to kill him. Still laughing, Eva walked in front of him and placed out her hands.
"Vegeta...wait." She said finally calming down. "The information he gave Freiza was falsified, before he could send the information my program switched the files." Vegeta glared down on her and crossed his arms powering down. "He still committed a serious crime." Eva still had a smile on her face but placed her hands on her hips.
"This is true but if he had not done this, my program wouldnt have infiltrated Freiza's system and gathered information on their empire, how do you think I gathered the information on the Cold Empire?" Vegeta gave her a surprised look. "How long have you known he was 'giving' Freiza information?"
Bulma was looking at her now as well as Eva tilted her head to side pondering the date. "I am pretty sure I have known for about 2 years. I didnt know who it was only that they were using Bulma's computers to not only get the information but also send the information." Vegeta looked at her angrily.
"You didnt think to inform me of this action?" He growled. "Well I had to keep it to myself in case word reached someone else in the empire that information was being replaced by false information. There were other spys than Yamcha...some alot closer than others." Eva's eyes narrowed to the side as she crossed her arms.
"Eva, what type of information was so pertinent that you had to use such secrecy?" Bulma asked while she programmed the robots to start cleaning and fixing the mess that Vegeta made crashing through her house. Eva's eyes darkened as she stared at the ground for a few moments, silent, causing both Vegeta and Bulma to become worried.
"Eva?" Bulma said softly. Eva looked up at Vegeta whose eyes were filled with curiosity. "The reason why I wanted you to become a Super Saiyan Vegeta, was because Freiza's father, Emperor Cold, has a Super Saiyan himself that Freiza is not aware of...his name is Broly..."
