To Reviewers:

Heiresstothethrone: Wait to see who is with who. I am trying to add a little action into the mix, but I am worried that I might make it sound corny. We will see. Thanks for reviewing, I can always count on you.

GokuSpasm: Goku is just easier to spell I guess. I just see him as Goku, not Kakarrot.

Chapter Five:

Bulma and Jey slowed their pursuit of their friend. They could feel the energies of the damned coming near them. Several of them. Bulma could read their thoughts. They were full of rage and jealousy. They were hunting the two females. They thought that they would be easy to defeat.

What is it Bulma? What can you see? Jey glanced nervously at her friend. Even in the body of the panther, Jey could feel the uneasiness of the woman beside her. Bulma had always been able to “see” things. She was truly psychic. Jey and Lily used to call her the prophet to tease her. But she had always put some unpleasant feeling into their mind. She had the strongest telepathic powers Jey had ever seen. Not even herself or Lily, though older, rivaled her. She could even completely control humans. Not that she often did, but they all had seen her at work.

There are five of them, Jey. Three are weaker, but the last two…Bulma hesitated. She hated feeling weak, but the last two kis were extreme. Only Lily, completely powered up might have a chance at defeating one of them. Jey was strong, but she had stopped training before Bulma knew her, and therefore, never progressed. We need to get out of here. You know I do not like to run from a fight, but we cannot win this one. Not without the others. Lily will not leave Baveras when she is in pain, when she knows we can handle ourselves.

Should we shift into birds and escape?

NO, they will just follow. They are moving so fast. We will wait and see how they organize themselves, and will break their lines at their weakest point. But I feel others moving towards us. I am so confused, Jey. I am picking up thoughts from too many people.

Jey nodded her response and crouched low. The panther's survival instincts threatening to take over her reasoning skills. She saw the first vampire break through the trees. She could not stop the shudder that ran over her skin. The beast had large protruding eyes, and the skin was stretched tightly over his skull that the veins below, pumping with damned blood, could be clearly seen. His hair had fallen out in large chunks and red sores were apparent on the scalp. Vampires were not the romantic persons that modern day media has made them. They are hideous creatures. A stench filled her nostrils, the smell of decaying flesh and rotting meat. Bulma had moved beside her and they lunged as one unit, clawing at the throat of the man. Is arms went up to block his face, and Jey took the opportunity to swipe her claws along the man's stomach. The wound was deep and the organs and cuts hovered precariously by the edges. Black

blood pumped out in time with the pulse. Spraying the ground.

The man's eyes darkened with rage, and he sent astrong ki blast directed at Jey. Bulma shifted into her human form and blocked the blast with one of her own. She sent a barage of blasts aimed at the man. None took. He made a grab at Jey, catching the panther's tail as she tried to leap away. Even wounded, he was a notable adversary. Jey

shreaked in pain ans morphed involuntarily back into regular form. She had a tail all her life, and when grabbed roughly or squeazed, it caused excruiating pain. She and Lily were the only ones in their group to have this tail, and it seemed that it was causing nothing but problems. Another vampire emerged to his left. Lips drawn back over black, sharpened teeth in an evil grin.

You will never win. Stop this, come to me. The voice entered Bulma's head and the compulsion to obey was sent as well. It was strong. Bulma lowered her hand for one moment, stopping the blasts aimed at Jey's attacker. That was all the vampire needed. The next instant his hand was around Bulma's throat. Lifting her up, her feet kicking helplessly in the air.

“You will be mine. I will make you mine and you will serve me for all eternity, or until I tire of you.” the vampire hissed into her face.

Release me. Bulma threw the command into his mind along with a strong compulsion to obey. She put as much power behind the command as she could raise. Almost instantly the hand loosened enough for Bulma to drop to the ground. She swung at the vampire's feet knocking him to the ground beside her. She leap away. She kicked Jey's attacker square in the stomach. Her foot making an awful sucking sound as it connected with his wound. As her leg rebounded, it took the guts along with it. The bloodly entrails poured onto the ground. The vampire let go of Jey's tail and tried to gather it's intestines. Jey shook off the pain and fired a large blast at the man, incinerating him at once.

Bulma and Jey looked up. The vampire that had grabbed Bulma was flanked by three others. All surrounding the two women.

Now what? Bulma asked Jey.

The one on the far left has the weakest ki, perhaps if we storm him at once, we can escape.

Bulma nodded, and her and Jey shifted into cat form as they stormed the man, and ran straight into an invisible ki shield that the vampire in the middle had thrown up. The girls were hurled back a few feet, once again returning to their original forms.

As they stood again, two men dropped out of the sky in front of them.

We're dead. Jey said solemnly. We cannot defeat all of them.

The two men were polar opposites. One was large and bulky, with a shiny bald head, the other was short, with hair swept up into a flame. The two men looked at the girls quizzically. Then smiled in unison.

It cannot be sire. I have found her. Nappa proclaimed to Vegeta, as he staired at the raven-haired girl. She was absolutely beautiful. Nappa knew she was close. When he tracked the kis to this location, he had begun to see color, to feel aprehension. Now, looking at his surroundings, he could see vibrant color. He could feel the joy at finally finding his life mate. Then, anger at the vampire who were trying to take her away from him.

She is mine. The thought from the prince growled in his head. The warning clear. Did he think that Nappa's life mate was his own?

It cannot be sire. I see the color of her eyes, the blackness of her hair, the paleness of her skin. Kami has led me here to defend my life mate.

Ah….I thought you spoke of the blue haired one. She is mine. I feel again, I can see again. And I will destroy these creatures that dare threaten her!

As Vegeta sent the thought to Nappa, he flew at the nearest vampire. Sending kicks and punches at him, all landing soundly. Nappa followed suit.

The girls stared in amazement. The vampires are attacking each other! Jey sent to Bulma, grabbing her arm.

They are not vampires. Something else. Their mind blocks are too strong to penetrate. But as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Right. Watch out!

The vampire that had attacked her earlier made a grab at her. Jey lunged forward to help, but hit another invisible ki shield. “Dammit!” she screamed, pounding her fists on the barrier.

Calm down little one. I can no longer allow you to continue this fight for your own safety. The prince and I will dispose of these creatures. The voice was gruff and demanded obedience. Jey immediately threw up mental blocks, and continued pounding on the shield.

Two vampires were attacking Vegeta. He had tried to encase the blue-haired woman in a ki shield, but the other vampire grabbed her too quickly and he would not want to box them in together. “Final Flash!” he yelled as he incinerated one vampire.

He looked up. The woman was sporting several wounds, but she would live. The vampire she was battling was not strong, but Bulma was weaker. With a growl, he deflected the kicks of the attacking vampire. He had had enough. Time to end this and collect his mate.

He still could not believe he had found her. Along with Nappa. Strange. Vegeta was almost certain that he would never find her, the one to end his meaningless existence.

The he would be doomed to turn, disgracing himself in front of all their people. Becoming nothing more than another failed king. She was beautiful. Skin like milk, and luxurious blue hair that was swinging wildly about her. She was a treasure to be sure. His treasure. He thanked Kami silently for bringing her into his world. He would protect her and keep her safe. He already loved her.

“Goodbye Rand.” Vegeta said as he blasted the offending vampire away from him, and he landed a few yards away. He waltzed over to the vampire attacking his life mate and wrenched her out of his grasp. Shoving her away from the enraged vampire. “Kurril,” Vegeta said, “I will administer the justice of our people on your head. You have lost your soul, and now I cliam your life.” With that he raised his hand and blasted the vampire into dust. He turned to look at his life mate.

“I have found you.” he whispered. Her eyes stared into his, holding him captive. He could drown in those eyes. Suddenly they were filled with tears and shock. He looked down to see the tip of a blade poking through her chest. Rand had pierced her heart with his sword. Vegeta moved fast as light and blew him to hell as Bulma crumpled lifeless on the ground, her precious blood forming a large puddle.

“Bulma!” Jey screamed trying to rush towards her, but Nappa held her to him.

Vegeta gathered her in his arms. The sky darkened, and thunder sounded. Vegeta's rage was being released. She was dying.
