Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Love Conquers All ❯ Escape ( Prologue )

Love Conquers All

Here's a prologue of my story. I've put the summary of my fic into Chapter 1already, though. I did this because the prologue was a last minute thought. It was originally the flashback sequence of Ch. 2. N-E-Ways, here ya go. ENJOY!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z. That honor goes to Akira Toriyama and FUNimation. The pleasure of owning Ryo Ohki goes to Pioneer. I do lay claim to Dayis, Marita, Regirta, and Mihaeda.

Planet Andromeda-20 Years Ago:

"Bulma, we HAVE to get out of here NOW!!!" a nine-year-old Marita shouted.

"No, really. Ya THINK?!?!" 13-year-old Bulma replied.

"Look, you two. Let's just get out of here," Bulma's 5-year-old cousin Mihaeda said.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

"I'd recognize that voice anywhere," Bulma said, malice threading though her voice.

"Vegeta, is that you?" Marita said. Hoping against all hope that her sister was alive as well, she asked, "Is Regirta with you?"

"Hey, sis!" a female voice replied.

"Regirta!"

"What about me?" another voice demanded. "Marita."

"Oh great," Marita groaned. "Dayis survived Vejitasei's destruction, too? Man, that sucks."

"Gee thanks," Dayis replied.

Marita could tell that they were getting closer. Bulma watched and almost screamed as the three Saiyans suddenly stepped into view.

"Enough small talk," Mihaeda said, exasperated. "We need to get to Ryo Ohki ASAP."

"So, trying to escape?" Vegeta said in an amused tone. The 14-year-old Prince loved watching his victims try to avoid death.

"Vegeta, we HAVE to; Frieza will kill us," Marita said. "Even me, since he wants me dead."

"Vegeta, you can't help Frieza," Bulma cried. "HE destroyed Vejitasei, not some comet."

"SAY WHAT?!"

"It's true," Marita affirmed. "He did, and all because Father destroyed Kanassa. You and I both know that even Frieza's elites wouldn't mess with Kanassa. But Dad did and only with Tooma, Seripa, Toteppo, and Panbukin to help him. And they STILL won."

"I KNOW what Bardock did," Vegeta said.

"That's why Frieza destroyed our race. He thought we were getting too strong!"

Vegeta was silent for a moment. Bulma's heart began to race.

"Follow me; I'll get you out of here."

"Thanks, Your highness," Marita said, her continuous loyalty to him surfacing.

Vegeta led them down a corridor towards an intersection.

"All three of these halls lead to the main hangar," Bulma stated. "I've already contacted Ryo Ohki telepathically and she's waiting for us."

"We should split up," Mihaeda said. "Bulma, you and Vegeta take the left hall. Marita and Dayis, go right. Regirta and I will take the middle one. And don't argue; we don't have time for it." They split up and took their designated routed, moving as quickly as possible, reuniting at the main hangar, where Ryo Ohki was waiting patiently. She had transformed and was ready to fly.

"Thanks," Marita replied, giving Dayis a quick hug, causing him to turn a bright red. She then turned to Regirta and gave her the necklace that Seripa had worn the day she died. "Don't lose it, alright?"

"But why give it to me?" Regirta asked.

"Because I have her earrings. Oh, one more thing." Marita took of her armband (the headband that Bardock wore, which was Tooma's armband. Bardock wore it to honor his crew) and tore it in half the long way. "Here," she said. "It has the blood of Mother, Father, and Father's crew stained on it."

"It's Tooma's armband isn't it?"

"Yes. I keep it because it makes me feel like their still around. Silly, I know, but at least this way we have some form of contact with them. And each other." They embraced and promised to meet again one day. Marita then ran towards the ship, clearly not noticing what was going on between Bulma and Vegeta.

"Thank you for helping us, Vegeta," Bulma said.

"No problem," Vegeta replied. "It's the least I could do since you told me the truth about what happened to my planet."

Bulma then gave Vegeta a quick kiss on the cheek before boarding Ryo Ohki causing Vegeta to blush furiously.

"Where shall we go?" Mihaeda asked.

"Earth," Marita said. "We go to Earth."

"Why?" Bulma asked.

"Because," she answered. "My younger brother Kakarot is there. I want to see him again. The last time I saw him was when he was a baby and I want to see if my Father's vision of him becoming a warrior and being different from us has come to pass."

"Alright, then. It's settled," Bulma declared. "Ryo Ohki, take us to Earth.

"Meoooooooow!" Ryo Ohki answered as she took off.

"Good-bye you guys," Marita said. And thank you, Dayis.

Thanks for helping me, Bulma thought to herself. Vegeta.

Vegeta, Dayis, and Regirta watched as the ship flew away.

"Do you think we'll see them again?" Regirta wondered.

"We will," Vegeta replied. "Don't worry. We will."

Planet Namek-2 Years Ago:

"This is too easy," Vegeta said to an angry Zarbon. He began levitating until he was eye to eye with the green-haired pretty boy.

"Heh heh heh heh," Zarbon laughed, and transformed. In this state, he was bigger and stronger than in his normal form, but the price for that was his looks, which was the reason why he hardly used his true power. Knowing that he'd defeated Vegeta last time he did this, he was confident that another victory over the arrogant Saiyan Prince was at hand, and launched himself at Vegeta.

"Krillin, this isn't good!" Bulma said fearfully.

"Now can you see that your dream's really a NIGHTMARE?!" Krillin replied.

"Hey, Vegetable breath, let's see how tough you are now," Zarbon cackled.

Wait a second, Bulma thought to herself. I know that voice! An image of Zarbon on Andromeda floats through her mind. Oh, my god, that's ZARBON!!!!! she shrieked mentally. I can't believe I was rooting for him, especially after what he did to my people.

Just then, Zarbon landed on the ground, followed by Vegeta.

"Give it up! Or else," Zarbon croaked.

"Yes, or else what," Vegeta replied smugly, "Because I'm just starting to get warmed up. I strongly suggest you leave before I finish you off."

"Finish me? Ah hah hah hah hah hah. I see you've forgotten how easily I defeated you last time." Zarbon retorted, and got into a fighting stance.

"Well then I guess it's time to get down to business" Vegeta said, "Maybe I'll see you someday in the next dimension."

Vegeta then proceeded to punch Zarbon in the stomach, causing him to fall on his knees.

"But, Vegeta…" Zarbon said weakly. I was only carrying out Frieza's orders Just give me the dragon balls and I'll-"

Just then Vegeta blasted the green-haired freak, sending him into a nearby lake.

"Uh, Oh! He landed right in the water hazard," Vegeta said with a laugh. "Humph, a pity." Turning to Krillin, he continued. "May I suggest the smartest thing to do is hand me that dragon ball."

"No way, Vegeta," Krillin replied.

"Well then, I guess I'll just dispose of you and your pretty little friend. Unless, of course, you hand me the dragon ball."

"Ok," Krillin said slowly. "You win."

Why is Vegeta doing this? Bulma wondered. Doesn't he recognize me?

"At last, the seventh and final dragon ball is in my possession," Vegeta said. "Soon I'll have my wish of immortality an I will become the supreme ruler of the universe!" Vegeta laughed and blasted into the air, heading straight for the place where he hid the 4-star dragon ball.

Everything seen in the TV series happens the way it's supposed to, except for a few changes. Soon after Vegeta was killed by Frieza, Bulma finds Capt. Ginyu, who uses her escape the frog body he was stuck in. Vegeta, seeing this from the next dimension, can't help wondering why Bulma looks angry instead of scared. He also senses a familiarity, like he'd seen her before. Later after being wished back, when the Namek dragon balls are used to restore Goku and Krillin, Porunga tells them that Goku is alive and refuses to come back to Earth. Vegeta decides to go out into space and search for him, during which Garlic Jr. was in town back on Earth. He returns to Earth (after it's restored) only to learn of Dr. Gero and the androids by some kid from the future. Seeing Goku become a Super Saiyan at will before his eyes makes him decide to train and become a Super Saiyan himself. And so the real story begins…
