Chapter 5
“I don’t know who the hell you are!
I didn’t remember anything!
I felt NOTHING!”
Bulma felt like her heart was stabbed a million times when Vegeta spitted those words at her. “I
wonder what happened to Vegeta that made him lose his memory. What if he stays this way
forever and never remember who he was? What if he never remembers me?” Bulma sobbed
quietly in the dark corner of the room where she was being held.
***
“Hey where are you guys going?” Vegeta asked as he saw Joey, Joel, and John leaving the
hideout.
“We just need to take care of something. You stay here and watch the girl,” John answered.
“Okay,” Vegeta nodded and the three left. “Huh? What is that noise?” Vegeta went to Bulma’s
room and found her crying to herself. “Why are you crying... uh woman? Woman? Why does
that sound so familiar?” he thought.
Bulma somehow knew what Vegeta was thinking and got up and stopped crying. “Remember
something?”
“No.”
“Come on, I know you remembered something.”
“I SAID no.”
“Man, he may have amnesia but he’s as stubborn as the old Vegeta. I have to think up a way to
make him remember. A-ha! I know,” Bulma thought. “Hey, nice hair vegetable head,” she
laughed.
“How... how... how dare you call me a vegetable head!!!” Vegeta exploded.
“You should get a better haircut. Ha ha ha.”
“Why you little... vegetable? Vegetable, vegetable, vegetable. That word sounds familiar too. I
wonder where I heard that,” he thought. “Aaaaaahhh! My head... it hurts!” he screamed, putting
his hands on his head and sank on the floor.
“He’s remembering it! But it’s too much for him to handle...” Bulma raced over to Vegeta and
helped him get up.
“Her hands... they’re so soft. It feels like I felt them before... aaaaaahhhhh! My head... what is
wrong with me?!!!” Vegeta sank on the floor again.
“Are you all right?” Bulma asked worriedly, offering her hand to Vegeta.
Vegeta slapped her hand away from him and got up. “You’re doing this to me! Get away!” He
ran out of the room and locked Bulma inside. “I need to get a drink,” he told himself and went
outside. Vegeta went to a store and got a bottle of root beer. He saw a bench on the sidewalk
and sat on it. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind while drinking his root beer. A picture then
went to his mind.
He saw, trees, plants, and then a lake. Right in the middle of the lake was a man dressed in blue
and a woman dressed in a yellow and black outfit. They were holding hands and they were
surrounded with a blue aura. Their images became clearer and clearer and Vegeta saw that he
was the man in blue and Bulma was the woman in the yellow and black outfit. Vegeta opened his
eyes and noticed he was sweating heavily. “What was... was that... and that girl was there...” he
stammered. He got up and ran to their hideout. He was planning to ask Bulma about the picture
that went in his mind. When he got there, he saw people gathered around the place. He pushed
them out of his way and found their hideout on fire.
“What happened here?” Vegeta asked himself.
“AAAAHHHHH!” Bulma was screaming from inside.
“Oh damn! She’s inside!” Vegeta gasped. He ran to the door and opened it.
“Don’t go, it’s too dangerous!” a man in the crowd said. Vegeta just snorted at him and ran
inside.
“I can’t see...” he coughed. The whole house was all red from fire and the smoke made it almost
impossible to see. “Hey woman! Where are you?!!” he yelled.
“I’m in the storage room! You locked me in you idiot!” Bulma yelled back.
Vegeta traced the source of Bulma’s voice and got to the storage room in no time. He tried to
open the door but the knob was stuck. “Arrrr...” he growled and kicked the door and it opened.
He found Bulma curled into a tight ball at the corner of the room. “Let’s get out of here!”
“Uh-huh,” Bulma whimpered.
Vegeta took Bulma’s hand and led her out of the room and out of the hideout. When they got
outside, Joey, Joel, and John were there.
“You okay Allan?” they all asked worriedly.
“Yeah,” Vegeta sighed. “I wonder how it got caught on fire.”
“Arrr. I bet Tim Shepherd’s gang did it,” Joel growled.
“You’re right,” Joey and John agreed and the three ran away.
“Wait! Where are you guys going?” Vegeta yelled as the three were five blocks away and then he
decided to go after them.
“Vegeta! Where are you going? Get back here!” Bulma called at him but he ignored her. “Oh...”
she growled and went after him.
***
The last time Vegeta saw the three when they took a turn in an alley. “I wonder where they are,”
he thought. He surveyed the alley carefully and found a door at the end. He entered and found
himself in a warehouse full of crates. He walked around and then heard gunshots. He followed
where it was coming from and found Joey and John laying on the floor, dead. He hid behind the
crates and heard one more gunshot. He peeked through the crate and found Joel flying around
with blood coming out from his chest. Joel crawled to a crate and sat himself up.
“Oh, you’re still alive, I’ll remedy that mistake!” a voice cackled and fired on Joel again.
Vegeta hid behind the crate again and closed his eyes. Another picture entered his mind.
He found a beam heading straight at Bulma but he pushed her out of the way and the beam went
through his heart. He spun around in the air with blood coming out from his chest.
“Huh? Was that... was that me?” Vegeta asked himself.
“AAAAAAHHHHHH!” someone screeched.
“It’s her! What is she doing here?” Vegeta gasped as he heard Bulma. He peeked through the
crate and found a man in a leather outfit pointing a gun at Bulma.
“What are you doing here?!!!” the man demanded, cocking his gun.
“I’m... I’m... just here to find someone...” Bulma stammered.
“Who?”
“I... I can’t tell you...”
“Tell me who or I’ll blow your head off!”
“Hey! Leave her alone!” Vegeta ordered as he stepped out of the crates.
“Vegeta!” Bulma cried excitedly.
The man walked over to Bulma and wrapped her neck with his left arm and his right hand was
pointing his gun at her head. “Surrender or I’ll blow her head off!”
“Vegeta, don’t worry about me, get out of here,” Bulma cried.
“Okay, blow her head off,” Vegeta said.
“NO! Are you crazy?!!” Bulma exploded.
“I thought you said not to worry about you.”
“I was just being heroic... I want you to worry about me! I’m too young and too beautiful to
die... Surrender NOW!”
The man took his gun away from Bulma’s head and pointed it at Vegeta. Bulma noticed that this
is her chance and bit his arm.
“Owww!” the man screamed and took his arm away from Bulma. Bulma, free as a bird, ran away
from him. Vegeta charged at the man and punched him, sending him across the warehouse and
hitting the crates.
“Vegeta are you back?” Bulma asked hesitantly.
“What... ohhh...” he winced as he was stabbed on the back. Vegeta turned around and saw the
man taking his blade out from his back. He growled and punched him on the stomach, his hand
went in. The man collapsed on the floor as Vegeta took out his hand, he was dead. Vegeta
looked at Bulma and collapsed on the floor too.
Bulma raced to him and cradled him on her lap. She checked his pulse, it was getting weak. “Oh
my God! He’s going to die... no.” Tears began to form in Bulma’s eyes and looked at Vegeta
hopelessly. “No... you can’t die now. There’s still a lot that I haven’t told you,” she sobbed.
She looked at Vegeta's hands and an idea went in her head. “I hope this works...” She hold
Vegeta’s hands and closed her eyes and began to concentrate. A blue aura surrounded the two,
she was returning Vegeta’s ki. Bulma finally returned all of Vegeta’s ki and looked at him.
Vegeta’s eyes slowly opened.
“Vegeta?”
“Hey woman. Miss me?” he smirked and fainted. Bulma checked his pulse again and it was
returning to normal.
