Chapter 6
'Trozar the Protector'
They had all been blasting and fighting the dedicated native army for around an hour now and they had managed to clear half the army. Raditz and Kakarot had been working as a unit on the far side of the army. They had managed to kill hundreds and were beginning to make a dent in the army. Chi Chi had been fighting the army from the back lines, wiping out the weaker warriors, she had killed thousands. It was mere child's play. Bulma had the rest of the army to herself since the Prince and Nappa had oh so kindly left the battle field. She had barely broken a sweat. They were all holding back since they wanted limited damage to be caused. They were all coated in the blood of the natives.
In the midst of all the destruction Bulma stopped blasting; she had sensed a large ki fluctuating. She instantly knew it wasn't any of the saiyans and it wasn't Chi Chi which could only mean it was a native. An extremely pissed off native at that. As the ki rose higher it caught the attention of everyone else.
"B… It's coming this way… and fast" Chi Chi shouted over to Bulma while quickly disposing of two aliens by snapping both their necks.
"Yes Chi I know…" Bulma quickly began strategising of possible ways that they could take on this ever increasing force. From what she had sensed its power level was close to her own, and she had no idea if this was its limit. She could only hope it was. She knew if this creature came for Chi Chi, Kakarot or Raditz they wouldn't win. Sensing around she checked for any sign of Vegeta but he had mysteriously vanished the moment they touched down, presumably to purge the other side of the planet which left them in quite the predicament.
Quickly Bulma sent a huge ki blast to obliterate what was left of the army coming their way. Causing shocked looks to come from the others as she had previously told them all to cause a limited damage to the planet as possible so that the minerals Frieza wanted weren't damaged.
"FORGET WHAT I SAID EARLIER; PURGE THE PLANET AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE, IN WHATEVER CONVINIENT WAY. LEAVE THIS NEW FOE TO ME" Before the others could respond she shot of towards the source of the power level alone.
Vegeta hadn't muttered a word since he left the ship. He had been blasting cities without control and limit despite Bulma's warning to cause minimal damage to the planet. The girl had been roaming his thoughts as of recent and it was getting on his nerves. Nappa had been following him but keeping enough distance between them so that if needed he could be there in a heartbeat but the prince had space to reminisce and kill alone without Nappa breathing down his back. Vegeta was bored of these weak creatures and was craving a real challenge when he sensed Kakarot heading his way at top speed. Wondering what the fool wanted he turned to face his approaching form.
"What are you doing fool? You're meant to be wiping out that army" He grunted. Then he noted Kakarot's nervous features and waited for an explanation.
"Bulma wiped them out then ordered us to finish off the rest of the planet as quick as possible." He responded in his usual dopey manner.
"Hmph, so the girl couldn't even follow her own orders pfft typical." He rolled his eyes and was prepared to fly off when Kakarot spoke.
"She was. Until a powerful ki started heading towards us" Vegeta's eyes glistened at the thought of a challenge and darted off towards the ship hoping to get in on the action leaving behind a shocked Nappa and Kakarot in his wake.
"WHO SENT YOU" The powerful native's deep and husky voice echoed throughout the landscape and Bulma felt herself shudder slightly at the depth and threatening tone of his voice but she remained composed. Although she could hear the creature's voice she couldn't pin point its exact location. It was as if its ki was everywhere. She felt surrounded.
"SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!" Bulma screamed in the hopes of luring the creature out by relying on the creature having a bad temper. And it worked. A sharp kick to the back of her head sent Bulma crashing to the ground, although she managed to stop herself mere moments before she made impact with the ground. Looking up she finally had a clear view of the creature and boy was it ugly. Its dark green skin was budging with muscles upon muscles, it was three times the size of Bulma but that didn't worry her. On top of its head it had two extremely large horns similar to the other natives but bigger. Much bigger.
"I am no coward female. I am TROZAR protector of planet Taska, and you will meet your DEMISE" this display of power amused Bulma so she relaxed her body began to slowly clap and let out a small snicker to express her amusement.
"Wow… incredible title and opening line dude, it's truly terrifying. Impressive, let me guess you've been practicing that one in front of a mirror? But I supposed since I know you I should introduce myself. I am Bulma princess of all traiyans and I think you will find that I will not be meeting my demise any time soon and your over confidence will be your downfall." A glimmer sparked in Bulma's eyes as she realised how pissed off the native had become at her witty and sarcasm filled response.
"Puny girl you have no chance." And before Bulma could notice he fazed out of view and appeared in front of her and they began to exchange blow for blow. No one appeared to have the upper hand and it all appeared levelled. Trozar fazed away from Bulma and prepared a ki blast which Bulma didn't have time to block so she dodged and as a result a huge crater was formed and the planet began to shake. 'SHIT, I've got to try and control the amount of damage caused.' Bulma muttered before she flew back into the fight.
"KAKAROT! NAPPA!" Chi Chi screeched at the two saiyans as she and Raditz touched down near them. They had just purged the west side while Kakarot went to tell Nappa and Vegeta what happened with the army and the new opponent.
"Did you guys feel that? It felt like the entire planet was shaking" Raditz asked with a worried expression.
"I'm guessing B is having a hard time fighting the creature and controlling the damage." Chi Chi muttered.
"We finished purging the west side of the planet, so we thought we'd check up on you" Raditz spoke to Nappa.
"We finished the east and Prince Vegeta already covered the North and South so the only life force that is left is the native Princess Bulma's fighting." Nappa informed them expressionless.
"Shouldn't we head towards Bulma then in case she needs backup?" Kakarot asked the group.
Everyone nodded and they all shot of towards the increasing power levels at top speed.
Vegeta had been watching the battle from a mountain in close proximity. He knew better than to fight and to get involved in other people's battles but he would step in if the girl failed. So far there were a total of 6 craters and the damage was getting increasingly bad, they both were on the same level and at this rate the battle would last hours. He commended the girl's power, he knew she was strong but she also had great skill and technique. She was smart and had strategy which was something the native lacked and that would usually insure her success, although his brute force made up for his lack of intelligence. The girl's outburst and mockery of 'Trozar' had amused the prince enough to let out a slight chuckle. Her sarcasm was on point and it was what made her appealing and entertaining.
Suddenly, he noticed four other power levels heading towards the battle. Knowing full well that it was the others he paid them no attention. Moments later Kakarot, Raditz, Nappa and Chi Chi touched down next to Vegeta. Vegeta hadn't bothered to face them or to exchange pleasantries once they arrived.
"Hey V, we finished purging the planet" Kakarot greeted Vegeta.
"Fool, you will not call me that ridiculous nickname again it is Prince Vegeta."
"Aw but Chi Chi gets to call Bulma B and she's a Princess" He whined.
Before Vegeta could respond with a witty remark about how he is of more importance than the foolish girl, a huge power surge erupted across the landscape. Trozar was the cause. It appeared he had heightened hearing abilities and heard Kakarot's little confession and he didn't take it lightly and that was an understatement of epic proportions.
"YOU HAVE DESTROYED MY PEOPLE! NOW YOU WILL DIE ALONG WITH THE DESTRUCTION YOU HAVE UNLEASED UPON MY RACE" Suddenly Trozar began to power up a huge ki blast and was hell bent on sending it towards Bulma. There was only one thing worse than a reckless foe and that was a reckless foe that had nothing to lose. A blast that powerful would not only kill Bulma but it would destroy the planet and all the saiyans with it. Bulma formed her own blast equally as powerful or so it seemed but no one knew if it would be enough.
"YOU IDIOTS, DON'T STAND THERE WATCHING LIKE FOOLS! PREPARE THE SHIP AND GET OFF THIS ROCK!" Bulma screamed towards the saiyans and Chi Chi. She then powered up again channelling more power into the blast that was quickly forming. "NOW"
"Prince Vegeta we must go, even if Bulma's blast is stronger we may not survive the destruction the aftermath will cause." Nappa informed the prince in a calm tone.
Vegeta had said nothing since Trozar began to power up. He simply stared at the battle in front of him and made no effort to move like the girl requested.
"You four go prepare the ship. Wait 5 minutes and if myself and the girl are not their leave. IT'S AN ORDER, GO NOW" Without question Raditz and Kakarot nodded and shot off into the sky leaving Nappa and Chi Chi.
"I CAN'T LEAVE B" Chi Chi screeched in anger.
"Go, I will protect the girl. LEAVE" Chi Chi nodded and shot off, she didn't know why but she trusted her princess with him. Nappa who was the only other person other than Bulma who knew how to power the ship was the last to head towards the ship.
"Bulma if you die. I will personally kill you myself." Chi Chi spoke mentally to Bulma. Although the statement was ridiculous she meant every word.
"Don't worry Chi, I'm the Princess of Traiyans there is no way I will lose." Chi Chi imagined her response including her usual smirk. After her response Bulma blocked out Chi Chi and focused on the fight at hand.
Vegeta watched uneasily from the sidelines as Trozar released the ki blast that he had been channelling all of his energy into and instantly after Bulma released hers in counter attack. As both energy balls collided the blast radius was huge. He could only just see both of them and it looked as though the energy ball was edging towards Bulma. Her face was completely tensed up as she put every ounce of power into her attack. Vegeta's muscles tensed and he prepared to step in when an agonizing scream was heard and Bulma sent one last burst of energy causing a blast that blocked Vegetas senses completely. Everything was white.
