Eighteen
glanced down at the city below her, it was mostly rubble now and a far cry from
the beautiful city it had once been.
“Pitiful
humans.” She shook her short blonde hair and concentrated on finding Vegeta or
Gohan’s power, easer said then done since both of them were so low at the
moment, but after a little while of searching she managed to pick out Gohan’s
weak signal and the slightly stronger signal of Vegeta.
Eighteen
stopped mid flight and looked ahead in the direction that Gohan and Vegeta were
in. Even though she was stronger then both of them put together at the moment
she still felt a twinge fear when she remembered the day they had killed her.
Eighteen clenched a fist and took a deep breath. They’re weak! They’re not
going to hurt me ever again. Eighteen nodded and took off again flying
steadily towards the power levels, secure in her knowledge that they were
nothing while she was something.

Vegeta
stealthily snuck into Chichi’s kitchen and searched for the sensu beans, he knew
the woman had some. She was like a squirrel; she horded things, especially the
beans; if they weren’t dying then she wouldn’t give them any. He searched for a
good half and hour before he found them in an empty peanut butter jar in the
back of the fridge. Grumbling about women and their strange ways Vegeta gobbled
down a bean and took one for Gohan, who was patiently waiting in his bedroom.
They
were going to try to find Bulma tonight.
Vegeta
crept out of the kitchen, checked around for Chichi and then ran for Gohan’s
room before the witch could make an appearance.
“I’m
sick of sneaking around your house, boy.” Vegeta closed the door behind him and
tossed the bean to Gohan who mumbled something like ‘sorry’ and then swallowed
and sat up again, energised and healed
“So
were heading off to find her now?” Gohan pulled on his uniform and turned to
face a pacing Vegeta.
“No
boy, I thought we’d sleep on it and get her in the morning…of course we’re
blasted well going after her tonight….”
“Oh
are you?” The female voice crept into the room and for a horrifying second
Vegeta thought it was Chichi, then he realised who it really was and, equally
horrified, he and Gohan turned to face the open window in which Eighteen was
perched.
“What
do you want android?” Vegeta took a step towards her and was rewarded to see a
flash of fear cross her face before she controlled herself and smiled
chillingly back at him,
“I
want the same thing you want my little friend. I want Bulma back with
you and away from my brother.” She lounged in the window and gave Gohan a wink.
“Why
should we believe a thing you say?” Gohan swallowed a lump of fear and stepped
closer to Vegeta, “You’ve only ever tried to kill us before.”
“True,
but as much as I hate you two I happen to dislike Bulma and her annoying brat
more. And as I said I want them gone.” She quietly slipped down from the window
and lent against the wall, “I’m willing to help you get the woman back, free of
charge.”
“Well
just say we believe you, what makes you think that we even need you help?”
Vegeta growled dangerously,
“Calm
down little man, you need me for quite a few reasons and if you weren’t so
worked up you’d see that. Number one I know where you wife and son are, number
two I can get Seventeen away from her long enough for you to do whatever it is
you want to do with her…”
“I’m
going to bond with her.” Vegeta interrupted,
“Very
well, long enough for you to bond with her, whatever that means, and long
enough for you to get her and your son out.”
“Your
being very trusting android, what makes you think were not going to double
cross you and kill you and your brother once we have Bulma?”
“I’m
not being trusting at all; I just don’t believe that you could actually hurt me
and my brother.”
“Have
you forgotten what happened the last time you fought Vegeta and I?” Gohan
interrupted wryly,
Eighteen
flashed him a look form under her eyelashes, “As a matter of fact I haven’t
forgotten, sweetheart. I simply meant that with my brother and I
fighting side by side you don’t have a chance. And you know it.” She turned her
attention to Vegeta and gave him her best ‘nice girl’ smile, “So do we have a
deal?”
For
a second Vegeta hesitated then smiled, “Sure, a deal it is.”
Eighteen
extended her hand and shook Vegeta’s both of them wore the same self-satisfied
smirk.

Seventeen
stretched and yawned, next to him in bed Bulma mumbled and Seventeen was unable
to stop himself form grinning.
You’re
becoming weak, The voice mocked
Seventeen, but for once he couldn’t care less. So he wasn’t quite as cruel as
he used to be, he was still cruel, just not to Bulma. He looked down at her and
grinned again, but who could be cruel to such a beautiful creature? As though
Bulma knew he was thinking about her she rolled over and cuddled up to him.
%%&^&%%
“That’s the plan?”
Eighteen tossed her hair and laughed.
“Well
what’s wrong with it?” Vegeta snapped defensively his hands curling into fists
again.
“Nothings
wrong with it, in fact I love it. It’s just so simple it’s probably going to
work.” She stopped laughing as quickly as she had started, “Okay, so all I have
to do is get Seventeen away from Bulma and you’ll go in and get her and the
kid? You do know how strong she is?” When Vegeta nodded she continued, “Good,
because she’s stronger then I am now. You understand how pissed off my brothers
going to be too don’t you? He’ll come searching for you as mad as a hornet and
when he finds you he’ll do everything he can to kill you both.”
“As
I said, Eighteen,” Vegeta used her name mockingly, “I’m going to bite
the woman and bond with her before she can argue with me. Once I have her under
my power your brother can rage and bitch all he wants but Bulma will never
leave my side. And once I have Bulma back with me it will be three of us
against him.” Vegeta stared off into space.
“Well
what about you, Boy?” Eighteen turned around to face him and tilted her head to
the side as she’d often seen Bulma do, “Are you still game? You do realise that
if Seventeen catches you all alone it’ll be your death.”
Gohan
looked up her and gave his own brand of saiyan smirk, “Whatever happens I’ll be
ready for it.”
