Downfall

Chapter one

Acid rain pours down my face as I fly through the empty expanse of the sky. Lightning lashes at my skin and booming thunder tugs at my ears. But I keep going. Not of my own will, but of someone else's. I have no control over my own body movements. Surprisingly, this doesn't anger me. Instead, I peer into the thick blackness beneath me. My eyes widen at what is below.

I cannot count the endless heaps of sick, twisted bodies that disease the mangled city I see as I fly overhead. The powerful stench of blood and rotting flesh fills my nose and I hold back the urge to vomit. I try to make out the species of the dead but cannot even tell one body from another. I shrug with indifference. I have seen this more than once. Bah! I have caused this more than once! I continue to scan the debacle below me.

The buildings, what few are left, are charred filthy black, and dark smoke billows about them like the Angel of Death. The rest is rubble. I doubt whatever left this city in such a disaster left the rest of the planet unscarred. Abruptly, I am stopped.

Looking ahead I notice a familiar building that seems to have been hit with no less force than whatever destroyed the city around it. But it remains considerably intact. I can still make out the general shape and appearance of this once grand building. Yes, it was once a palace. That I can tell easily. But why is it so familiar...

Once again the mysterious force pushes me onward and I begin to fly swiftly to the ruins of the palace. As I get closer, my eyes sweep over the steps that lead to entrance. More of the disgusting bodies are draped over the steps and I finally get close enough to distinguish the species.

"Humans." I sneer. " Just a bunch of dirty-" I stop suddenly as I notice tails. Tails just like the one...I have... " Fuck!" I scream realizing exactly who these people are. I shake my head in defiance, not letting myself believe...these can't be saiyans...they just cant be....

Out of nowhere, the hold on my being is released and I fall to the ground. I quickly get up and run over to the body nearest me. My heart races and my breath is ragged as I discover the familiar face of the man I once called father. I fall to my knees. " This is all your fault!" I scream, holding his face in my hands. "You sick bastard! I am supposed to be king! I am supposed to rule the Saiyans! You fucked it all up! You have ended our race! YOU, YOU ,YOU! I hate you!" I let my tyrannical father drop to the ground once again and I stand up, anger coursing through my veins, my blood hot and boiling.

I turn quickly as I hear the sound of footfalls behind me. It is a woman. A human woman. Her aqua hair whips about her as the wind scourges her body. She wears a simple white dress that crosses over one shoulder and ends just above her knees. It hugs her body and I can easily see her form of perfection beneath. Kami, she is beautiful. She stares at me with those...those piercing blue eyes " Vegeta.." She whispers in a silky voice. "Vegeta....Vegeta.."

" Yes, my beautiful goddess?" I answer, practically swooning. "Vegeta?! Vegeta wake up!"

"Vegeta!!!" the woman screams again, waking me from my dream. I open my eyes and see her face just above mine, a confused look marring her features. "Kami, you're sweating Vegeta. You must have had a bad dream. You were just screamin' and screamin' and I ran up here right away and..." Damn the woman never shuts up. I feel something drip off my face and I wipe my brow. Fuck! She's right, I'm sweating like a beast! I look at her again just in time to hear her next comment. "...and ,Vegeta, you called me your beautiful goddess." she says smirking at me. Damn! I'd been talking in my sleep again. And about her, no less.

"Bah!" I say pushing the woman out of my face as I sit up. I swing myself out of bed and walk calmly over to her and I whisper in her ear, devoid of all emotion. " You flatter yourself far too much woman." I linger for a moment, inhaling her wonderful female scent. Then, just as calmly, I push past her and out the door. " And where do you think you're going?" She asks following me into the hallway. I ignore her. Kami, she's an annoying- " I said where are you going?!"

"Woman! I do not have time for your games! Why don't you go play with that dickless piece of shit, Yam..whatever." This will get her. She hates it when I make fun of that brainless human.

"His name is Yamucha, Vegeta, and besides I broke up with him." Ahh, so that's why she pesters me so. She's lost her pet. Instead of answering her I opt to swing a right into the bathroom but before I close the door, I remind her of her duties. "Don't forget to make my breakfast woman."I say, then I slam the door in her pretty little face. A nice hot shower will cure me of the woman. " Damnit, Vegeta you are such a jackass!" She screams through the door. " And in case you have forgotten, my name is BULMA!"

~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~

A little while later, I have begun my training in the Gravity Room. But my concentration is lacking. I cannot keep that damned woman and that dream out of my mind!! Twsseeee! A red line of energy from the sparring bot blasts into my arm. "Shit!" I curse loudly. The blast doesn't hurt but it is one of many I have received from that damned bot today. Cursing again, I send a small purple ki blast from my hand into the bot. Boom! The bot explodes and pieces shoot through the air. I duck a few then give a smirk. That bot wont be doing that again. At least not today anyways. It will take that woman a whole day to build a new one. Not to mention repairing the ones I have burnt out in regular sparring. Ah well, it will give her something to do rather than bug me.

"Yea right." I say walking out of the Gravity Room. Nothing keeps that woman from bugging me. Kami, the woman never stops coming around, asking if I'm alright, if there's anything I need. She's been doing it ever since she offered me to live with her, a few months back. Truth be told, I wouldn't have accepted if she hadn't mentioned the Gravity Room I could train in. Anyways, every time she approaches me I blow her off. But she always comes back. Why does she do that!? Can't she get the picture? Everyone else does. Maybe she's feeble minded.

Nah, she's not feeble, I decide. I'll give her that. If there's one thing that woman isn't, it's stupid. Shit, she designed the entire Gravity Room and bots inside and she built them all to boot. So why doesn't such a smart girl understand that I don't want her around?

Bah, females. Such weak, useless creatures. They're all the same. They all- "Hey!" screeches a familiarly annoying voice. Apparently, I'd run into the woman while caught up in my thoughts. I hadn't even felt her. " People are walking here!!" She rages, picking herself up from the ground to meet me. I regret to admit the woman is the same height as me. Her striking blue eyes stare into mine as she presses her palms against my chest in a vain effort to push me out of her way. " Do you really think that will work?" I ask chuckling. The fact that this woman thinks that she can so easily push me out of the way is laughable. Yet, at the same time it angers me. Just who does this woman think she is? I should kill her for her disrespect, as I have done every other who has dared to speak to me in such a way. She is always defying me, always getting in the last word.

But something always keeps me from harming her. Something I cannot explain. My anger fades away, as always with this woman. "Vegeta... I ...can....stand...here...all day...pushing you...if...you...really...want...." she pants, still trying to move me out of the way. And I know she'll stand there all day until either I move, or she moves me. The latter unlikely to ever happen, I gently take her palms from my chest and silently walk past her.

Once again I save the woman from utter destruction at my own hands and I don't even know why.
