Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Nemesis ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Disclaimer: Hey all. Just a little reminder that I do not own DBZ, Vegeta, Bulma, or any other characters I choose to use. I do own my personally created character Kayla. This is an alternate universe. But I do try to keep to the character's personalities. The story starts off relatively citrus free, but there will be a warning in later chapters when I decided to add some lemonade to the mix. Enjoy, and I'm not going to ask you to review though you should. Heh Heh! Read on!
 
The setting takes place on planet Vegeta-sai where there is not immediate threat of Frieza and the planet sits at the peak of power across the galaxy. Vegeta-sai has been at peace for 30 years now, but as usual the Saiyans find themselves training to become even more powerful than they already are. We find ourselves in the training barracks on the outskirts of the main city. Here the Saiyan children are sent to hone their ki powers and learn the basic art of fighting, while the soldiers increase their own ki by sparing with each other. Here we find Bulma, an oddly colored girl Saiyan whose hair, tail and eye are the color of the sea; Eighteen, another oddly colored girl Saiyan with blonde hair and icy blue eyes; and Chi Chi, an ordinary looking girl Saiyan with dark brown hair and tail and chocolaty brown eyes. These three girls are the best of friends and train and study together. Bulma and Eighteen are both 14, Eighteen born 2 months after Bulma. Chi Chi is 12. For the other characters: Yamcha is 15, Radditz is 17, Turles and Goku are 13, Seventeen is 16, Krillen is 14, and Vegeta is 16.
 
 
“Come on Eighteen, you can hit me harder than that!” Bulma yelled getting back into her fighting stance.
“Yeah, beat her to a pulp, 18!” Chi Chi called from the side lines cheering for one of her best friends but not the other. “What!?!” She said responding to Bulma's nasty glare.
“I'm not gonna let you beat me that easily.” 18 said dusting of her training pants after getting up off the ground. “You're strong but not that strong.” She said getting back into her fighting stance. Just as they were about to charge each other they were stopped by male laughter that was directed at them.
“Well looky what we have here. Three Saiyan brats, girls no less. And look they're trying to fight.” One of the male Saiyans said leading the verbal assault against the girls.
“Shove it Yamcha.” Bulma growled sending him one of her famous death glares.
“Such vulgar words for such a young lady.” Turles sneered chuckling at his witty comment.
“And like you're the prince of all mannerisms.” Bulma answered watching all the men with an equal feeling of disdain.
“Why are you guys here bothering us anyway? Had enough fun beating your tiny men so you came to bother us?” 18 asked receiving giggles from both Bulma and Chi Chi.
“Why you, I'll have you know that my man is not little!” Yamcha shouted while his posse grumbled obscenities directed at the three girls.
“Well if your finished talking about your little man, I'd like to know why you guys aren't at the main barracks increasing your pathetic power levels?” A new male Saiyan asked. He was a head taller than all the rest and had a long thick main of hair that went past his knees.
“Rad...Radditz, what are you doing here? I thought you were training with the Prince?” Turles stammered clearly afraid of the bigger man.
“Quit your blubbering Turles. Putting two and two together, I'd venture to wage a guess that the Prince is at the barracks right now wondering why no one is there to bow down to him.” Bulma answered directing her attention to the cowering group of boys.
“Quite right Bulma. Prince Vegeta is in fact at the barracks waiting for you all, and it wouldn't bode well to try his patients further than it already has been.” Radditz growled glancing over the group of boys. “I suggest you'd leave, NOW!!” He shouted. The group quickly snapped to attention and blasted off as quickly as possible leaving Radditz, Bulma, Chi Chi, and 18.
As soon as the boys were out of sight Bulma ran hopping into Radditz arms. “Radditz you didn't tell us you were coming down for a visit!” She squeled hugging him tight.
“I've missed you too Bulma. And I didn't exactly know we were coming to the barracks until Prince Vegeta told me this morning before our daily training sessions.” Radditz said squeezing Bulma back tight.
“So how is it being Prince Vegeta's head bodyguard?” 18 asked walking up to him.
“It's okay I guess. He's a real hard ass, but don't tell him I told you that. And in the words of Kakarott, `he hits too damn hard'.” He answered releasing Bulma to give a quick hug to 18.
“Where is Son Goku? Shouldn't he be with you, being Vegeta's other guard and everything?” Chi Chi asked not moving to hug Radditz.
“Oh, he's back at the barracks with Prince Vegeta. Which reminds us, we need to get back.” Radditz said only glancing at Chi Chi for a split second before returning his attention back to Bulma and 18.
“Yes, we wouldn't want to keep our prince waiting now would we?” Bulma mumbled.
“Let's keep that attitude in check young lady. I'm not supposed to tell you, but he came down here to challenge the soldiers to spar so your free game. I wouldn't get on his bad side if I was you.” Radditz chuckled patting her on the head.
“You know I hate when you do that. Let's go and get this over with.” Bulma said slapping him on the arm playfully before blasting off.
“You'd think for someone who can't stand Prince Vegeta as much as she can's, she'd be less reluctant to go and see him.” Radditz chuckled scratching his head much like Goku always did.
“Wow, your brother is rubbing off way too much on you!” 18 giggled blasting off after Bulma.
“I am not. You'll pay for that remark.” Radditz said quickly following her. Chi Chi just sighed and left last.
 
Next time: Encounter at the Barracks. We meet Vegeta and Goku. Fight Scene and more conversations and confrontations. Yamcha bashing anyone. Until next time. R & R. Hasta La Vista.
