Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Immortality and Death ❯ it begins ( Chapter 1 )

Bulma's Past

A little over 2,000yrs ago a young girl was sent from the present day planet Vegeta to the planet of earth. This was done in order to save this young girl's life for on her home planet there was a change in empire and all those of the old empire where to be destroyed. This included a young girl named Bulma she was the princess and sole heir to the thrown of the present day Vegeta.

In hopes of saving their young daughters life her parents sent her away so as not to be destroyed a long with them. And in some small why they hoped she might return to restore their lost empire some day. For when she left she was but 6 yrs of age.

Sadly however after she arrived on the planet earth she forgot her past because her space pod crashed rather violently on the out skirts of present day Rome. So leaving the spacecraft she had no idea who she was or where she came from. The only thing she did know however was that she was different from those around her. For she had nice blue hair and eyes along with a blue tail and those around her had no tail or same odd coloring.

Waking around the city she was looked at as on oddity, some would stare at the small girl wondering where she had come from. Others though of her as a god sent to earth and went up to her with gifts of silk and wine. Still others stared at her and wondered what she might be worth upon the slave market for she was rare and even at such a young age anyone could tell that she was going to grow to be beautiful.

Out of all of these though no one approached her to ask any questions of her, they where ether to scared or to amazed to ask the young girl anything. Only a old man who was a well known wizered of the area was daring enough to approach the young girl. For in her he so much power and talent. Power and talent, which he himself would never be able to posses but maybe through her he hoped he could control it. His name was Gero.

"My child where is it that you are from?" he said in a friendly tone.

"I do not know, the last thing I remember is leaving a beautiful palace and then wondering through the woods until I came here." Bulma replied simply not scared in the least by the old man being the only one willing to approach her.

Gero was rather shocked by how well this young girl could express herself but he acted as though it where nothing strange. "I see, well my dear I believe you have lost your memory. My I offer for you to stay at my house for a time until it has returned so that you may return home."

Bulma gave him a look like ``dah' of course I have lost my memory why else would I walk around like a total dork.' But she only responded sweetly figuring she had no where else to stay and his house was as good as any. "Thank you for the offer Mr. …."

"Gero, dear and it is my pleasure."

"Yes, well Mr. Gero it seems I most take you up on your offer for I know of no where else I can stay. And my name is Bulma by the why."

"Well then we should get going for my house is on the other end of town." He said flatly. Though deep inside he could not believe his luck he had found the best pupil on whom to bestow his knowledge of this he was sure. He also knew that she would be able to take this power to an unknown level. Best if all it seemed that she would be easy to gain control of. For she had know knowledge of her past and from what he could see little emotion character. So he hoped she would care little for the dark tasks that he would have her due over time

After this brief exchange Bulma went to Gero's house where she studied under him for 10 yrs. During this time she rarely left the area of his house, which was rather deep in the woods and secluded. For she was perceived as a freak in town and was often treated badly upon going there.

So during her years of seclusion, and teaching under Gero she not only grew in power she also grew in beauty thought the later she took little notice of. For Gero made little comment to it and only told her of the power which she posed and how it would be used one day to better the world along with his own.

Though her power was easily better then Gero's by ten, Bulma over time had come to fear him and the power he had over her. Because early in her training much to Gero's disappointment she began to rebel, for he was teaching her to go against many of the things which she felt deep with in her sole where wrong.

She could still remember back to the first time Gero had gotten mad at her and made her realize that he was the master of her fate. At the time she had been less then 9 yrs of age and they had been working on ki blasts as well as controlling of the dead spirit of those you have just killed. So Gero on the final day of her training of these two things had brought a poor young homeless boy from the village for Bulma to work on.

"Now Bulma dear I want you to first blast this young boy then take control of his spirit and send it to kill the closest person to our home."

During this time Bulma had been aware of the fact that what she was tough was not for the good. But she had hoped that she would never have to use it only know how to if need be. So when Gero told her to kill the inicent young boy she, rebelled.

"I will do no such thing, it is wrong." She said in a mater o fact tone.

This pissed Gero off not to believed so he said in an icy tone. " Bulma you will do this task which I have set before you or feel my power."

Though a little scared by this change in tone she refused to show it and just sat down on the ground out side the house where they normal worked on there excersise and said "No."

At this Gero proply knocked the poor boy to the ground and mumbled " you will get yours soon enough." Then calmly walking over to Bulma he picked her up by the tail for she was still half his height and said coldly "You will do this or I will make you hurt has you never have before."

And though Bulma was crying at this point from the pain that was going through her body due to him picking her up by the most sensitive part of her body she still shook her head in a very diffenet no answer.

Now Gero truly became pissed off and for the first time ever she feared her teacher sure before he had been creepy and a little over powering to her causing her to never disobey until now. For although some of the other tasks had been wrong this Bulma truly felt was wrong and she did not want to due it with the whole of her being. But what he did next scared her in to submission for a long time after though not to long.

Being that he had her by her tail, which he had learned very early on was the most sensitive part of her body. He decided to have some real fun or rather what he considered to be real fun and what any one else would consider torture.

First he grabbed a small hand ax, which was near by and slowly begin to shave the sensitive hair off of young Bulma's tail. This cased her excrusating pain so much so that she started to scream. Well doing this he also managed to cut the tail many times for it was hard to shave a moving tail. Then with a quick and small ki blast he burnt her shaved tail this caused her to scream so load that the birds in the area flew off in panic. But what he did last was worst of all. He leaving her for a moment went inside and got some water and mixed it with salt. Leaving Bulma to cry over the pain in her tail. Upon returning he picked her up one last time by her tail and powered the salt water upon it. This last torture was so over powering that she fainted from pain.

When she awake she was still in great pain. But did nothing as she saw Gero stand up for he had been sitting there for her to awaking from her trauma.

In an icy calm tone he said to her "Now do what I told you to do now, or I will torture you even worse then the last time."

After a quick flash back of the recent pain Bulma decided for the time being she would comply with his wishes. So in a quit tone she replied "yes master."

She then quickly shot at the young boy burning him to nothing but ashes. After that she reached out with her spirit senses that Gero had tough her to use. Upon locating the power boys sad and depressed sole. She instantly took control of it and sent it out on its dark deed. Once she sensed it was complete she let the power sole go to where ever it may. And then sat down and cried in pain and sadness.

That day had been one of many over the years in which she had grown to fear Gero. So by the time she was 14 she would never dream of defining him. She never know that she was much strong then him until he decided to bestow upon her a gift which would hunt her for many many years to come.

In her last to years of training Gero had began to trust the Bulma and was rather sure that she would not leave his side any time soon. Now just before he had met Bulma in town that fate full day he had just completed a task, which he felt would secure his power over the world for years to come. Long ago he had heard about 7 majical balls called Dragon Balls that could grant one wish a year to the owner of the balls. So he had gone of on a quest to find this majical balls. Luck for him he had learned the use of his ki and was able to fly to get them for they where located all over the world. Once collected he made a wish of immortality. Once the scattered again Gero decided that he would wait till he had found another he deemed worthy of immortality so that they could work at his side for all of time.

This lucky sole happened to be Bulma. During her last 2 years with him he begin to trust her as a partner for the future. For her rebellions of the past had stopped and he felt sure that she did not know that she was strong then himself. So he started to collect the Dragon Balls to make his wish. And he finally had them all by the time she was 16 yrs of age.

That morning he woke her and told her of a present of that she would enjoy for all of her life. So once she got outside he wished for her immortality, which was granted. At the time Bulma was so sleepy it took her awaile to regesture what had taken place. Though once she did she saw her chance to escape.

If she was immortial there was no way that Gero could kill her and over the years she had learned to deal with pain. So if in the unlikely event she did not make it she would just be in pain for a long time. And then would just have to wait it out till she got another chance to escape.

Quickly she shot her most powerful ki blast at Gero, it would have killed any normal man but being that he was immortal it only knocked him out for a long time until he healed. Once knocked out Bulma took to the sky and flew as fast as she could to the city of Rome, which was the only place she new she could hid for the time being because it was the only city she new of.

Gero did not awake from his coma for over a week for they ki blast had taken him completely by surprise. Once he awake she swore he would find her some day and make her pay for betrying him. Little did he know just how far away that day was. And how much Bulma would change by that day.
