Chapter 2
Partly Saiyan, Partly Human, Completely Freaked Out
"No! No way! It's not possible in any way, shape or form that I've become a full grown Saiyan!"
Bulma was back at the lab lying on a medical table with Vegeta and Trunks awaiting for a computer scan of her body to identify just what was happening to her.
"Bulma, look at yourself." Vegeta begins to say. "You just ran faster then I've ever seen you run in the 8 years we've been married, stopped a car going at 30 MPH from hitting those kids with your bare hand, and the biggest proof of all: you've grown a tail!"
"But I was born a pure Human. I never had a tail, any extraordinary fighting abilities or anything Saiyans show from birth. Why is this happening now?"
"We'll know as soon as the scan's complete." Vegeta answers.
"Dad," Trunks begins to say to his father. "If Mom's turning into a Saiyan, does that mean she'll be able to fight evil villains like us and the other Saiyans?"
"She could Trunks, but only if she wants to. It isn't an obligation that one is bound to, though in my case back on Planet Vegeta, the other Saiyans and I never really had a choice."
The analyzer's circuits begin to come to life with a hum akin to an electric generator. A neon purple colored ray begins to scan over Bulma's body from the tip of her toes all the way towards her head. Afterwords, a computer generated representation of her self appears on a nearby computer monitor.
"So, how does it look?" Bulma asks Vegeta nervously.
"Vital scans look clear, no signs of any viruses or harmful substances, but I don't see wha... wait a second."
"What? What is it?" She asks a little worried why Vegeta's tone suddenly changed.
"The scans are picking up something peculiar on a molecular level." Vegeta replies. "Computer, magnify image x50."
"As you wish, Mr. Vegeta." The computer's voice responds. The image begins to zoom in deeper towards what Vegeta had detected, but not enough to clearly see it.
"Okay, x100."
Still no result.
"x10000."
Suddenly, he spots just what he had hoped would appear. On the computer monitor was a spinning stand of DNA that seemed to stand out from the rest of Bulma's molecular structure.
"That can't be what I think it is." Vegeta says with slight nervousness in his voice.
He then takes a syringe needle from the nearby desk and quickly jabs it into his arm. After this is done, he removes a sort of data drive from the needle containing his DNA sample and places it into the computer's ports to analyze. A few moments later, a new window appears next to the first, with a DNA sample completely identical to the one found in Bulma.
"I.. can't believe it." Vegeta utters in pure shock.
"What is it?" Bulma asks him.
"The DNA found inside of you matches my own completely. In other words, part of my DNA and essence is infused with yours."
But.. how could this..." Her mind then recollects the events that occurred yesterday with the Gene Splicer going haywire. "Wait, that moment, when you jumped in front of my when the rays hit us. They must have replicated part of your DNA and infused it into me."
"That would explain your tail, your new strength and your younger appearance." Vegeta begins."Saiyans retain their youthfulness in order to enjoy battle longer. But that doesn't explain the dream you told me about."
"Maybe, since part of you was infused in me, some of your memories or thoughts were also given to me in the form of dreams." Bulma suggests.
"Your guess is as good as mine. The only real question left, is whether to reverse this or not."
Bulma begins to think it over for while. This would probably be the only chance she would have at learning what it feels like to be like her friends: strong, skilled and able to do so much more then just sit on the sidelines. She then comes to her conclusion.
"It wouldn't be too bad to try this out." She says to Vegeta.
"Are you absolutely sure about this, Bulma?" He asks his wife with concern.
"Yes, I am. But if I'm going to get the hang of being a fighter like you, I need to know a few techniques you guys use."
"Where are you going with this?" Vegeta asks her.
"Well, would you mind if... you go talk to Goku about helping to train me?"
"Wait, why him? Am I not good enough for you?" He says with jealousy.
"No, it's not that. It's just that Goku knows a couple of moves and techniques like the Kamehameha and the Kaio-ken that might come in handy in a fight."
"Bulma, you know that asking Kakarot for help has never been one of my strong points." Vegeta says a little frustrated.
"Pleeeease? For me?" She asks him giving the classic puppy dog eyes that she knows he can never resist.
"Oh, alright, fine! But you owe me for this."
Vegeta then opens a window and flies off to Goku's home, leaving his wife and son alone in the lab.
"Ya know, we could have just called them at their house, I have their phone number." Trunks points out to his mother.
"Yeah, we could have... but we didn't." Bulma says with a mischievous smirk on her face.
It was 10:30 at the Son residence as Goku, Gohan and Goten take a break from intensive training to relax inside watching TV on the couch. They were watching old reruns of American Idol.
"Man, the show's not as fun as it was with Simon." Gohan says with disappointment.
"I know," Goku adds agreeing with his eldest son. "I mean, despite all the criticism he got for being brutally honest with the contestants, after he left, the show just started to go downward."
"Yeah, I know. Paula we could do without, but without Simon, I've just lost all interest in the show all together."
"We could just watch America's Got Talent." Goten suggests to his father and brother.
"Why would we watch that?" Goku asks him confused.
Just then, a loud knock is heard from the door.
"I got it." Goku says getting up to answer it. To his surprise, he opens the door to find his friend/rival on the other side.
"Vegeta?" Goku says with confusion. "What are you doing here?"
"I need to speak with you about Bulma." He replies.
"Is something wrong with her?" He asks with worry in his tone.
"No, she's fine, but you may want to sit down for this."
The blonde haired fighter known as Jewel trains in secret in a secluded rocky area outside the Satan City limits. Ever since his humiliating lose at the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament at the hands of #18, he vowed to get strong enough to overcome her the next time they met. It didn't seem physically possible how someone who never participated in a tournament before or had very little visible strength to begin with could beat someone who went hand to hand with Hercule the year before. Yet despite this, he remained undaunted in his resolve to overcome him.
"There's a reason she was able to beat you so easily."A strange and unnerving voice calls out to him.
"Who.. who's there?" He asks with fear as he turns in all directions for the owner of the voice.
"Turn around."
He does as instructed and receives the shock of his life. Right in front of him, appeared some sort of swirling portal like vortex where the voice seemed to emanate from.
"Who... are you?"
"I am someone who can help you achieve your dream at becoming stronger, but before I can do that, I require your assistance. Do we have a deal?"
"Ye... yes, we do. How can I help you?"
"Have you ever heard of a group of magical items called the Dragon Balls?"
End of Ch 2. Sorry it seems a little short, but I promise the next will have more interesting content. And about the American Idol references, these are just my personal opinions, please don't get angry about it. Ch 3 will have a party celebrating an achievment for our favorite Guardian of Earth, Dende. While this occurs, Jewel's new master puts the first phase of his plan into motion. And to give you guys a heads up, this is an actual character from the original series and not an OC. I will give you guys a chance to guess who it is, (This does not count for O-Godzilla-O because he already knows.) Whoever guess the mystery villian will get a behind the scenes sneak peak at the plot of the story. Good Luck.
