Chapter 4

" Okay, so what do you want me to do now?" Bulma asked, as she looked straight into Vegeta’s eyes.

" Run around as fast as you can and jump as high as you can or something, I need to see just how weak you are." He said naturally.

" Why I oughta…" And her form started to shift and Vegeta could hear her bones crack to change shape to her panther form.

" That wasn’t all that hard now was it Miss. Brainiac! All I had to do was to piss you off and that was it!" Vegeta said sarcastically.

" Yea well, do get you smart ass character out." Bulma said without even moving their lips.

" WOW cool! Telepathy. Awesome!" she said again without moving her lips. Vegeta crossed his arms.

" Well, better go. Bye." Was all she said aloud before she ran out the door to the balcony and started running on the side of the building. Vegeta ran out with her and stopped at the balcony. He couldn’t believe it. She was defying the law of gravity! (STUPID SCIENCE I HATE YOU! AND YOU TOO NEWTON AND YOUR GAY 3 LAWS I WISH THEY WEREN’T THERE TO BEGIN WITH! Okay, I’m done.)

Bulma ran around and went up a couple of trees and jumped off the tops to float in air for seconds and came back down to the ground. Then suddenly Vegeta heard a great roar of pain.

" Oh crap…" he said as he started flying over the treetops. He couldn’t see anything and called out.

" BULMA WHERE ARE YOU! YOU STUPID WOMAN WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!" he heard another roar no to far off from his left. (Left handed people ROCK!) When he turned left it wasn’t too long before he heard another roar. It was right under him. He flew down and almost started to crack up from laughing. From the looks of it, it looked like Bulma tripped on a stump from a tree and landed started into a small lake.

"Don’t say a word!" she said as she walked out of the lake drenched from the water. Vegeta tried his very best not to laugh but it was the funniest thing he had ever seen in a long time.

" HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" he just broke out in laughter.

" Oh yea, really funny. Go ahead, laugh it up funny boy." Then she got an idea. She walked over to him and he didn’t even notice because he was busy with his laughing fit and she started to shake her fur violently. Water sprayed everywhere and got Vegeta semi-wet.

" Hey you baka of a woman stop."

" No way, this is too much fun." She giggled lightly.

" Fine then take this." He started up a small KI ball about the size of a 15-inch softball and threw it to her. She saw it coming and quickly changed back to her human/panther state and dogged the in coming ball. When it passed and made a small boom, she fell from her feet from dizziness. Vegeta ran over and helped her to stand.

" What happened?" he asked her in concern.

" I think I changed too fast. Remind me never to do that again please." She started to rub her head. She got an idea. She jumped just a little bit to get out of his arms and bit his shoulder playfully. She was three inches away from his neck. He grabbed her shoulders and literally threw her off.

" DON’T BITE ME ON THE NECK OR ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THERE!" he yelled at her. Bulma blushed.

" Sorry." She whispered. Vegeta was feeling something weird inside of him. It wasn’t sadness. It wasn’t anger. It was something else. It was…was…. Love.

" Queen Tora, since you gave us the short cut the planet Earth, we will now be there in 1 hour. You are so smart Queen Tora. I wish I were as smart as you." Said one of the computer specialists. Trying to get on her good side. But Queen Tora wasn’t listening. She was planning on how she would torture the Princess when she found her.

If she was still alive.

"Okay, so you kick like this but you still keep your arm up to block?" Bulma asked. They had been fighting now for about 45 minutes and have gotten past blocking and now are on kicking and punching.

" Very good. You’re doing okay for a loud mouthed woman."

" Why thank you very much Vegeta. That’s the closest thing you’ve said that was nice." She looked at him trying to twist his words around.

" Shut up woman." He was going to say something again, but he froze looking up at the sky. There wasn’t a full moon and Bulma was still in her panther/human form. That didn’t puzzle him. It was the powerful power reading he was getting from space. It wasn’t human, but it wasn’t alienish. It was something different he had has felt before but where. Bulma walked next to him and stared at the sky too.

" What are you staring at?"

" I am feeling a power, but it’s different. I think I have sensed it before, but where?" Then, all of a sudden, it hit him like an enormous bag of potatoes.

" Queen Tora." He whispered.

" Who Vegeta?"

" SHIT! She’s early! We can’t run, she’ll hunt you down anyway."

" VEGETA WHO!"

" The Princess’s mother Queen Tora. She’s very mean and evil. Also very powerful." He looked at her.

" Vegeta, I’m not ready to fight. I’m gonna die! You have to help me." She pleaded with him. He shook his head in no.

" I’m sorry Bulma I can’t help you. She can over power me in rank. I just can’t help. If I had a choice, I would kick her ass. But if only I can." He turned around and crossed his hands. He heard some sniffling coming from behind him.

" Fine Vegeta. You have always been the selfish bastard. If you don’t want to help me, I can kick her fuzzy black ass without you. And if I lose and die, you’re going to feel the gilt not me." And with that she sat down. They stayed like that until they saw the ship in the sky coming towards them like a meteor.

" This is it. Well, it was terrible knowing you Vegeta. Have a nice time in the living world." She said with hate poring out of every word.

" Fine, I will. And be happy with dying. It’s a lot of fun." The ship landed with a big bang and the door opened. Queen Tora was a black and orange tiger. She had the most beautiful markings on her coat as she walked out of the ship with her cape flowing behind her. Her armour was similar to the ones Bulma was wearing, but they were made out of gold and Bulma’s wasn’t. No one escorted her out of the ship, she came out alone. When she got near, Vegeta bowed and Bulma followed likewise.

" Ah Vegeta. Nice to see you. And who is this beautiful lady behind you? Your wife maybe?"

" Sorry to not or to disappoint you, but Princess Burakkupansa died and passed along the changeling powers onto Bulma. That’s her name." Bulma stepped from the back of Vegeta out into the open.

" I wish to not go home with you. I challenge you to a death duel to see who is stronger and the rightful Queen your majesty."

" So brave of you weakling. If a death duel you want, then a death duel you will get. But don’t blame me Vegeta if she dies. There will be not tears shed here for you Bulma. This way next to my ship and we will start." She had no choice but to follow her to her own doom.

" Bye Vegeta." She whispered to him. He didn’t say anything as he walked a few feet behind them. He wanted to run over there and kick Queen Tora’s butt, but he had no other choice but to watch. As soon as the queen and Bulma got 5 feet away from the ship, Queen took her cape off, warmed up and stretched and was ready to fight.

" Get ready for the beating of your life little one. You’ll never forget it." She charged and started a barrage of punches at her. She tried to block them but her punches were too strong and Bulma’s hands went limp. She kneed her in the gut and Bulma fell clutching her stomach in pain. Vegeta was getting very mad at this site. Like her cared for her, but maybe he did a little bit….
