Chapter six: The
Wish
Bulma
finished fixing the gravity machine and got dressed into a summer dress. She
went down into the living room to get her shoes when she spotted Vegeta hogging
the couch, and watching wrestling.
"What
is with guys and fighting? Don't you ever relax and have fun?" Bulma
crossed her arms with her shoes still in her hands waiting for a reply.
"Fighting
is relaxing woman; do you have a problem with that?" Vegeta smirked at her
and continued to watch TV. "Besides, your pathetic human body couldn't
handle the intensity of fighting, especially fighting with an Elite Sayjin
Prince Warrior like me."
~Psh,
get over your self. ~ Bulma rolled her eyes and walked away mumbling
something that sounded like "If I was I Sayjin, I'd kick your ass!"
Vegeta ignored it and continued to watch the TV.
"I
want to fight. It's not fair; I never get to fight with the guys." Then
she got an idea. "I can wish to become a Sayjin and then he couldn't say
anything about me being a ‘stupid human’” She suddenly stopped, turned
quickly, and ran from the kitchen up the stairs to her room. She began
franticly searching for the dragon radar machine. She stopped for a moment and
went to her intercom by her door.
"Dad,
are you there?" she said desperately.
"Yes
Bulma, what do you need?" Mr. Briefs said quickly.
"I
was wondering if you have seen my dragon radar in your lab lately."
"Well
let me look…hmmm…ah ha! Here it is. I will send Vegeta up to give it to
you."
"WHAT?
He's there? Why?"
"He
wants me to build him a hyperbolic regeneration tank... or something like that."
"For
what?"
Vegeta
who was listening to there conversation snapped in, "None of your damn
business woman!"
"Well
fine, send it over dad, with the stupid Sayjin," with that statement
Vegeta orbed in her room.
"I am not a stupid Sayjin, I am an elite warrior and
you better get that through your pathetic human brain of yours." He said
in anger tossing the radar in her hand an orbed out of her room.
~Yes,
finally I will get my wish. All I have to do is find the stupid dragon balls~
Mr. Briefs, knowing that Bulma was going to look for some
dragon balls, told Vegeta to help her or he wouldn't build the regeneration
tank. A few seconds later, Vegeta appeared in Bulma's room again looking
irritated.
"Your father said that he wouldn't build the tank unless I help you find the dragon balls, so let's go. This wish better be important woman," he snapped impatiently.
"Yeah, Vegeta, it's very important. Let's get
going," she said with a surprised look on her face. Vegeta looked at her;
she had a devilish gleam in her eyes. "I'll go get the capsules, I will be
right back." Bulma said as she quickly ran past him.
"What for?" Vegeta was getting irritated, "We don't need any
thing, and let's just go."
"Hello? Earth to Vegeta, and just how are we going to
find them? Hmm." she said as she impatiently tapped her foot with her
hands on her hips.
"I'm flying you there; we can get
all the balls gathered in half of a day. I hate those mechanical devices,
flying is better." Vegeta said as he walked over to her.
"Oh no, you don't! You're not
carrying me. You might drop me! Hey stop!" Vegeta grabbed her and flew out
of the window. Bulma gasped and immediately put her arms around his neck and
closed her eyes. Vegeta liked this reaction; he gave a smirk and looked at her.
He stopped in mid air.
"So where to?" He was carrying
her with two arms, one under her legs and the other behind her back.
"Um, okay, let's see…" she took
out the radar and clicked the top switch. "Ah, there's one about a 100
meters from here," she said nervously as she looked at how far off the
ground she was.
He landed on the ground gently and set Bulma down. She looked at the radar
again and started to walk towards the bushes.
"It's over here…somewhere." She
rummaged through the bushes, "Here it is, let's go." She walked up to
Vegeta and put her arms around his neck. Vegeta looked at her in shock,
recalling earlier instances; he was prepared for her this time. "Just
don't stare at me, pick me up, we have dragon balls to find." Bulma said
with a smile. He snapped out of it and picked her up and flew into the air.
"Where to next?" he said with a smile on his face.
She looked down at the radar and clicked it two times "It's about six
miles from here."
He flew back down from the sky and took
the radar from her hand quickly. Bulma didn't know it was gone until she saw it
in Vegeta's hand.
"And just what the hell do you think your doing?" she said angrily.
"I'm going to find them by myself. Stay here and I will get them for you.
No need for a thank you. Bye" he then vanished.
"That was rude!" she screamed
into the sky hoping he heard her. She crossed her arms and leaned against a
tree. "I hate being left behind! That's one of the reasons I'm for wishing
this."
Vegeta showed up in front of her 30
minutes later. "Here, make your stupid wish! I have other things to
do." He set the balls on the ground and Bulma walked up to them.
She looked at Vegeta "You can leave me now; I will find my way back."
"Psh…whatever, fine, I will take my
leave." ~what is she up too? I think I'll stay to find out~ he flew
away and jumped into a tree where he could see her.
"Eternal Dragon I summon you to grant my wish!" she yelled. The dragon balls began to flash gold and the sky turned completely black. The dragon grew out of the balls and appeared in front of Bulma.
"What is your wish?" the gigantic dragon said in a low growling
voice.
"I wish I can be a Sayjin, and reach
the strength of a Super Sayjin!" the dragon's eyes glowed red and Bulma
grew a blue tail that was coming out of her dress. She lost her balance and
fell to the ground.
"Your wish has been granted!"
the dragon disappeared and the glowing dragon balls hovered in to the air and
flew to different parts of the world.
Vegeta was shocked she had wished to
become a Sayjin! His assumption came true! ~A Sayjin! Did she do this for
me? ~ He watched her check out her tail and her newly transformed body. He
jumped down the tree and walked towards her. With out seeing him, Bulma
sensed Vegeta.
"I thought I told you to leave Vegeta!"
"What the hell did you do to your
self? And why the hell did you do it!" his expression on his face was in
complete shock. He couldn't say anything else. He was speechless.
"Well, since you already know, you
can help me out with a few things..." she got up off the ground and walked
up to him with her tail swinging from side to side. "How do you fly?"
"This is not natural! Do you know what have you've done?" he gasped
aloud.
Bulma was ignoring him and was playing with her tail yet again. She stopped and
looked at Vegeta.
"It's because you're always calling me a weak human, and well I'm not a human any more. Not only that, you guys save the world all the time and I can never help. Yes, I do help with technical stuff, but when you guys leave to go fight, you guys leave me behind..." she was in tears by now and her hands were over her face muffling her cries. She stopped her crying and her power level went up more and more "and don't think I did it just for you! I did it for me as well!" she said in anger. An aura of light formed around her. The light that engulfed her radiant body was getting larger around her.
~
She didn't do this just for me? So she did do it for me~ Vegeta was
amazed by her power level. He could tell she was going to transform. So he flew
in the air to get out of the way of her destruction.
At
Master Roshi's island, Goku, Krillen, Piccolo, Gohan, and Yamcha were training
when they felt a new power. "What is that? I thought only Saijins had that
kind of power and it's not Vegeta's." Krillen looked at Goku.
"Well,
what ever it is, it has something to do with the eternal dragon." Goku
looked concerned. "I'm going to check it out, you guys stay here"
Goku put two fingers on his forehead and concentrated. He vanished and
reappeared by Vegeta. It didn't take long for Goku to figure out whom it was
but he couldn't figure out why. He looked to Vegeta who was still left in shock
from the event. The Z fighters couldn't wait any longer, they flew into the air
towards the surging new power.
"It-it's
Bulma!" Yamcha flew up by Goku and stopped to look at what was going on,
and so did the others behind them. The Z fighters all having the same look on
their faces as Vegeta did.
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
Bulma screamed as her wave of energy flattened the trees all around her.
Yelling in the sky, her hair was standing straight up, turning into a golden colour.
Her tail was now golden and an aura of golden light surrounded her. She looked
up at the men above her and flew to them. "Ha! Now I…" her hair went
back to normal and she started to fall to the ground. Her eyes rolled back as
her eyes shut and her body went limp.
"Oh
no, she ran out of energy, she couldn't take it, quick, someone get her!"
Goku yelled. Vegeta had already caught her three feet from the ground. She lay
limp in his arms unconscious. Vegeta looked at her with worry in his eyes.
~ It's my fault she did this, I'll make it up to you
Bulma, I promise. ~
The Z fighters looked at Vegeta in the same way, Yamcha was getting severely jealous. He looked at Vegeta; he looked as if he had lost his only love. Without warning, Vegeta flew off with Bulma.
"If any of you fools follow me I will destroy you
myself!" he yelled back at them staring at Yamcha in particular. He
stopped and landed on her balcony leading to her room. Still in his arms Bulma
did not move. He opened the glass door and walked in her room to her bed. He
folded back her sheets, and then carefully laid her on her bed, pulling the
covers on her. She was still in her dress that was now torn and tattered by her
transformation. He pulled up a chair and sat by her bed staring at her
beautiful form, holding her hand.
"I'm so sorry, I will recover you" ~recover…oh
yes the regeneration tank I forgot! ~ He put her hand down and walked over
to the intercom.
"Damn it, I forgot how to work this thing!" he
pushed a button and it rang.
"Hello?"
Mr. Briefs answered.
"Did
you get that tank built yet?" Vegeta said with eagerness in his voice.
"Yes,
I did Vegeta why?" Mr. Briefs answered back, sensing that something had
happened.
"None
of your damn business, where is it?"
"It's
right by your room; you can go test it if you like."
"I
will and don't come down here!" Vegeta pushed the same button he pushed
before, walked to Bulma, uncovered her and carefully picked her up. He then
carried her to the room where the tank was. The tank was in the very far corner
of his bathroom. He pushed a button and the tank opened, he put her on the seat
and put the oxygen mask on her. He shut the door and pushed another button. The
fluid began to flow in the tank, and it surrounded Bulma. Her hair was flowing
in the liquid like substance.
A
few hours later, Bulma's eyes opened and looked through the liquid and the
window. She saw Vegeta asleep on a chair in front of her.
~This must be
the regeneration tank my dad was talking about~ the regeneration tank
beeped and Vegeta woke up quickly with excitement in his eyes. He pushed a red
button and the fluid began to drain out of the tank. Still a little weak from
earlier, she couldn't take off the mask. The tank opened and Vegeta took the
mask off of her.
"Hey,
are you okay little one?" Vegeta said softly.
~Did
he just talk to me without an insult? ~
"Yeah, a little weak but I will be okay." He took her out of the tank and picked her up and started walking to the shower. "Where are you taking me?" she asked tiredly.
"To
the shower, so I can put you to bed." He looked down at her and she looked
at him with affection in her eyes. Then he snapped out of it and put her down.
"You can do it by your self," he dropped her on the bench and walked
out of the room.
~What
the hell was that for? Wasn't he just being kind to me? ~ "
“Psh, jerk!" Bulma said to herself as she staggered out of his bathroom and went into her room to her own bathroom to take a shower. When she took off her clothes, she noticed she had a little muscle and a blue tail. "I totally forgot I was a Sayjin." She said walking to the shower. Bulma stopped in front of the shower door mirror and mindlessly stared into it.
~ What was I thinking! ~
"My parents are going to kill me!" The normally
scorching shower was now soothing to her skin and she realized why Vegeta liked
taking showers so much. She washed herself and got out of the shower. She walked
over to her closet and grabbed a pair of jeans. "Damn it!" she tried
to pull it over her tail but it kept getting in the way. She took them off and
threw them across her room. She started to dig in her closet for something that
she could wear. Bulma grabbed her sundress and put on her flip-flops. She
walked into the hallway and walked carelessly down the stairs into the living
room. She ran into something hard. Looking up to see what was in her path, she
gazed into Vegeta's black as coal eyes.
"We
gotta stop meeting like this Vegeta," she said with irritation in her
voice.
"Well,
if you were paying attention to what you where do..." Vegeta lectured but
Bulma started walking away from him.
"I'm
not interested in your advice Vegeta; I have more important things to do than
to talk to you."
Vegeta
quickly grabbed her tail and pulled her back to him with her back against his
firm chest.
"Woman,
don't walk away when I am talking to you," he said, purring seductively
into her ear. Bulma couldn't help but feel weak with his hand on her tail.
~ Goku had the same problem when people took hold of
his tail ~ Bulma started to fall to her knees, but Vegeta caught her with
his free hand.
"Let
me go!" she said, enraged as she powered up subconsciously.
"You
need to take more control of your powers woman," Vegeta said letting go of
her tail.
~Wow even when I'm a Sayjin he still calls me woman!
~ Bulma turned around, and looked at Vegeta in shock.
"What
are you staring at this time!" he said crossing his arms.
"Well
I find it interesting that when I turn into a Sayjin, you still don't call me
by my actual name." she said with a giggle.
"Well,
you're not a lowly human any longer, but your still a woman. Now you're a lowly
class Sayjin who desperately needs training," he said looking at her
muscled form.
