Krillin cried as he stood next to the coffin of his long time girlfriend. She was gone and it was some psycho that had it in for their particular group, but who was the mystery. What was left of the group stood behind him, none of them ever knowing Marron, but knew their friend's sorrow. Vegeta hovered above the group watching with emotionless eyes as did the killer of the girl in the coffin.

'Hmmm... Who is this child? I have never seen him before, but he has a tail like the other dark haired boy and the girl?' Vegeta could feel the cold stare of the killer close to him, but he made no motion to alert him or the others. He closed his eyes as he searched for the energy of the man, but opened his eyes in wonder at the energy-less being.

'What human or any creature at that has no energy? Maybe this man is worth my time,' Vegeta thought with a smirk.

(One Week Later...)

Bulma frowned as she felt the evil grow closer to Earth. Vegeta stopped in his training as he felt it as well, but for some reason he didn't feel all that scared of the tyrant. Maybe it was the other evil that already lurked on Earth or maybe it was the girl in front of him that made him feel stronger. Whatever it was he didn't know what to feel about it so he pushed it aside as he grunted at the blue haired Sayian across from him.

"Onna!" he barked. "We have less than a week so we need to get as much training ASAP!" Bulma frowned, exhaustion setting into her bones as the night wore on into the early stages of morning.

"I am not like you!" she growled back. "I have not trained every day of my life nor have I pushed myself to the breaking point as you have! I need fucking sleep!" Vegeta frowned at Bulma, his anger at her words and actions as of late catching up with him.

"Onna! You are a damned weakling! You think only of yourself! Frieza is about to annilate your home! You family will either be killed or enslaved! What's left of your friends will be gone as well! You are being the MOST selfish bitch!" This made Bulma's face pale in guilt at his words. He was right. She was thinking about her own discomfort and not those of the innocent people that populated the blue and green orb. Though she did not admit that he was right he could feel her guilt roll off her in waves. "You can sleep for a few hours," he said quietly. "but be ready to train as soon as I come to get you." Bulma nodded numbly as she headed into her house.

(Two Days Later...)

Bulma had gotten stronger in the next two days as she put aside her discomfort to protect her planet from the evil that wanted to tear it apart. Vegeta's scouter beeped as her power rose a few more knots. She was now at twenty thousand and was growing, but would it be enough to stop Frieza?

(That Night...)

The shadow crept closer into the house of his next victim. He could feel the boy's energy, but he could not find him. After searching for what seemed like hours a smirk crossed his face. He pulled open a door to the boy's bedroom closet and smirked at the scared face on the boy. Suddenly the boy let out an energy blast that surprised the shadow. It did not hit it's intended target as the shadow dodged it. With little to no effort he touched the boy's bald head and felt the energy that entered his small form. Oh, how good it felt to take people's energy and leaving them dead as his trophies of triumph.

I know that there is not a lot of action, but since Frieza is almost there the energy on Earth will rise, but will the lack of Z Fighters effect the battle for Earth? Find out in the next chapter!
