Chapter 7

“My... my name is Bulma.  What about you?  Vegeta, that name sounds like vegetable!”  Bulma’s
voice and face kept appearing in Vegeta’s mind while flying.  Though he didn’t want to admit it to
himself, leaving Bulma hurted him.

“What’s happening to me?  Am I going soft or what?  Why should I care about her?  That woman
was and will never be of use to me.  Why leaving her hurts so much?” Vegeta asked himself.
Bulma’s face appeared in his mind again, smiling.

“Is all you care about is yourself?  Have you ever cared about someone?  Friends?  Family?  I
guess, I don’t want to be alone.  I want a man to love me and protect me as long as I live,”
Bulma said, it was the time when she was telling him why she wanted the Dragon Balls.  “I
thought I told you to take your shirt off!” it was the time when she was tending his wounds after
his fight with Zarbon.

“Vegeta...  What is wrong with me?  Why can’t I get Vegeta out of my head?” Bulma asked
herself.  She was sitting outside the ship, looking at the sky.  “Oh my gosh, no!!!  I think I’m
attracted to that guy.  Vegeta, he’s okay.  His smirks, his awesome body, and the way he crosses
his arms...  But he’s a demonic space pirate who can blow up planets and he even tried to destroy
Earth and tried to kill my friends...  What am I going to do?  And what’s worse?  I wonder how
he’ll react to it.  Would he care?”

***

“Huh?” Vegeta gasped while flying, he saw the Ginyu Force laying on the ground, all bloody.  He
landed on the ground to examine them.  “Who could have done this?  Maybe Kakarott...  No not
Kakarott!  He’s a low class soldier, he can’t beat all four of them,” Vegeta told himself.  “What
the hell?”  He saw beams being fired from the sky.  “I better check it out.”  Vegeta blasted to the
sky and headed towards the fight.  He got to the fight and saw Gokou, Piccolo, and Gohan
fighting Freeza while Krillen was laying on the ground and was being healed by Dende.

“Ha ha ha ha!  Can’t you fools do any better than this?!!!” Freeza cackled as he backed away from
Gokou and his friends.

“May I join in?” Vegeta asked as he landed on the ground.

“Vegeta?” Piccolo asked.

“I don’t trust him Gokou,” Krillen said.

“Why would you want to help us?” Gokou asked.

“You see, Kakarott, Freeza destroyed our planet...  If anyone is going to kill him... I will,” Vegeta
answered.

“Kakarott?  So it’s true, that fool Bardock can predict the future,” Freeza gasped.

“What are you talking about?” Gokou asked.

“Humph, I knew your father back then.  His name was Bardock, a brilliant scientist who can
accurately predict the future.  We fought before I destroyed Vegeta.  Ha ha ha, he told me his son
Kakarott will grow up to be strong and will find me and will defeat me before I killed him.  It
looks like he was right, but you’ll never defeat me!” Freeza explained.

“Is that true Vegeta?” Gokou stammered.

“Yes.  Your father told us that Vegeta would get blown up by Freeza but we didn’t believe him.
Freeza must pay for what he did to our planet, he must die from Saiyan hands,” Vegeta answered.

“Oh, how touching.  You two don’t really have to avenge your people.  You will join them
anyway, humph, you WILL join them in hell that is!  MWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!”
Freeza said.

“This is one is for my planet!” Vegeta growled as he charged at Freeza.

Freeza pointed his finger at Vegeta, forming a small, purple energy ball.  “Take this...
aaaaahhhhh!” Freeza screeched.  Bulma was behind him and fired a beam at Freeza.

“How did Bulma do that?” everyone thought aside from Vegeta.

“What is she doing here?  She’s going to get killed!” Vegeta growled to himself.

“Hi guys!” Bulma said as she joined Gokou and the others.

“How did you do that?” Gokou asked.

“It’s a long story.  I’ll explain later.”

“If there’s a later,” Krillen said.

“Are you okay?” Bulma hesitated to ask Vegeta and blushed as she turned to him.

“I’m fine,” Vegeta answered.

“You shall pay for what you did to me!” Freeza growled.  He powered up and he was glowing in
yellow.  “Ha ha ha ha!” he cackled and released a blinding yellow flash.  Vegeta shut his eyes but
the others didn’t.  “It’s time to finish them off.  Let’s see, who should I kill first?”  Freeza then
noticed Bulma and pointed his finger at her.  “It’s a shame to destroy such beauty,” Freeza said
sarcastically and fired a purple beam at Bulma.

“My eyes,” Bulma groaned as she opened her eyes and saw Freeza’s beam coming at her.
“Aaaaaahhhhh!” she screeched.

“Not this time...” Vegeta whispered and ran to Bulma and quickly pushed her out of the way.
Freeza’s beam caught him and it went through his heart.  He spun around in the air with blood
flying around.

“Now to find the Dragon Balls!” Freeza cackled and blasted to the sky.

“He’s getting away!” Gokou said as he opened his eyes and saw Freeza flying away.  He, Piccolo,
Gohan, Dende, and Krillen blasted to the sky, leaving Vegeta and Bulma alone.
