Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ! The Ankh: Bulma stepped onto the crowded loading dock of Planet Kirrorra. `Blue, it's all blue.' The planet was blue. Not only the waters and sky, but the earth and sand as well.
`I wonder how Vegeta managed this' she thought sadly.
Bulma scanned her surroundings once more; loading docks weren't her style. She noticed towards the center of the city there was a rather large establishment. It looked like a medieval castle, but in the mist of such an upscale trading center? It had to be Vegeta.
"M'lady?" a small dwarfish alien spoke to Bulma. "May I be of assistance to such a generous lady like yourself." The greedy alien held his greasy palm in the international sign for "I want your money."
"Yes, you can." She said distantly. "Take me to the Emperor."
:::::::::
-in the court house of planet Kirrorra-
"My Emperor! I did not do this! I am innocent!" cried the pitiless accused alien.
"Magistrate? What evidence do we have to kill this man?" spoke the cloaked Emperor.
"Well, we have the word from the man's ex-wife stating his guilt, but other than that we have nothing."
"Good enough for me, kill him." These dooming words the Emperor spoke almost everyday. Never taking pity on a soul.
::::::
"M'lady, this is where the Emperor resides today. But I pray, do not enter. Only he, the magistrate, guards, and the condemned are allowed to enter the house of death."
"I thought you said was the court house?"
"It is, but the only people who ever leave it alive are the magistrate, his guards, and the Emperor!"
"Well, here is your payment."
"Where are you going!?"
"In the court house, of course."
:::::::::::::
"Kill him."
"We don't have anymore today, my Emperor. Shall I take my leave?"
From down the hall both Vegeta and his Magistrate heard screaming.
"Wait, I think we have one more."
::::::::::::
-a few moments earlier-
Bulma crept in to the courthouse, carefully. She glanced around her, the entire building was done in black and red, the only building in Kirrorra she'd seen so far that was not blue.
"Now what do we have here? I think the Emperor gonna like this one." A raspy masculine voice sounded behind her. So much for "carefully." A large hand grabbed her shoulder and spun her around.
"Welcome m'lady. Death greets you." and with that everything in Bulma's world became dark.
**^**^**
Ohhhhh, cliffhanger. I am so bad. What will happen next? I know, but you don't! Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Stay tuned for next week's episode of "The Ankh!"
Sorry it took me so long to get out this chapter. I'm almost done with this fic, I'm probably only going to write a couple more chapters.
Thanks for reviewing!
Luv, Ifonly
