Chapter 3

The Thrill of the Hunt

By Mela989898

"So how do we plan on finding this guy? Go to Vegeta-Sei knock on the palace door, and ask if their prince can come out and play!" Yamcha asked with a grin on his face.

"Yeah something like that." Bulma answered. "We are going to go to their border and destroy world after world until his royalness shows up."

"Ooh that sounds like fun" Chichi giggled.

"Ah, are you sure you want to do it this way? That's a lot of saiyans to kill and I'm not sure Lord Freeza would want us to do it that way." Yamcha said while fidgeting.

"Are you questioning my judgement!" Bulma asked coldly.

"No, of course not Bulma. I'm not that stupid." He said avoiding her icy glare.

"Then why are you so worried about killing a couple zillion people?"

"It's not the people I worry about. It's what Freeza will do if he does not like this plan of action. I don't wish to displease him…again."

"Don't worry about your own ass Yamcha." Bulma stated then remembered Freeza's fetish for boys. "Then again Yamcha you should worry about your ass around Freeza!" she stated with a smug grin to the dismay of her male counterpart.

"Humph, I'm going to train, call for me once we reach the border." Yamcha stated as he left the bridge of their ship in search of one of the many training rooms abroad.

It was a medium size ship that they choose to take, with fifty or so of Freeza's top elite's on broad under Bulma's command. Normally they would have not taken such a large vessel, just three pods instead to travel in. But Bulma needed to make sure the Saiyan no Ouji answered the plea of border planets and if he believed it was a full fledge invasion of the Saiyan Empire he would surly to respond. And once he got there she would be waiting.

It was a four-hour journey to the border and Bulma contemplated going to her quarters and getting some rest before the big battle, but deiced against it knowing that she would get no rest due to the constant nightmare that plagued her. She growled in frustration, and deiced to also go and visit one of the training rooms leaving Chichi in charge of the men. She only hoped that when she came back Chichi would not have all of them drunk.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^

"Excuse me my prince, but how are we to find the Blue Demon?" Kakarrot asked confused. Normal he would never question his prince but he was really curious. Never had the empire faced a foe like Freeza and Freeza's top elite's were the best in the known universe. Kakarrot got a stir of excitement just think about the up coming battle; he just could not wait to test his skill.

"It should not be that hard. He has already attacked world after world we just have to be on the next one he goes after!" Vegeta answered in irritation wanting the other warrior to drop the subject. Truly Vegeta did not have a clue as to how he was going to find the Blue Demon, but he kept having this nagging feeling that told him where to go and what to do.

"Kakarrot tell the bridge to set a course for Enshu."

"But sire isn't that on the border. If we have to call for reinforcements it would take them five hours to reach us from Vegeta-Sei."

"I know that Kakarrot, I am fucking aware of where Enshu is located in my empire and that is where we must go. Don't question my orders just do them!" Vegeta screamed out of frustration.

Kakarrot just bowed then left Vegeta alone to go to the bridge. Vegeta stood at a ship window looking out as the stars go by. He did not know why or what was calling him to the border world, but he knew he had to go there. He was tired and restless. Not only was he about to do battle with an incredible foe but he could not sleep for fear of his dreams. He was having the weirdest dreams for the last few months, and did not understand where they were coming from. It was always the same dream. There was a little girl, but she was not anyone he knew from his past or present. Hell from what he could tell she was not even saiyan. She had all the wrong coloring, blue eyes, blue hair, and most of all no tail. She was running for her life but he could not tell from what. They trapped her and beat what little life she had out of her. She cried out for help and he tried to go to her but something, no someone held him in place not letting him go to her aid. The girl screamed and cried and he struggled to get free but could not. Then she began to fall through the ground and once she was completely gone who ever was holding him let him go. He would rush over to where she had been and clawed at the ground trying to find her but she was gone. He turned to see who had been restraining, and to his horror he saw Freeza standing there laughing pointing a glowing finger at him. Then fires and Vegeta sees and feels the light engulf him until he awakes in a cold sweat. It was a truly bizarre nightmare that had been plaguing him for the last three months and did not seem as if it would ever stop. And now it was starting to affect him during the hours he was awake. He was in the middle of a sparring match with Kakarrot when he could have sworn he heard her {the girl} scream out for help. Vegeta just wanted to make sense of it all and had this weird feeling he would find the answer to his questions on Enshu.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bulma had just finished training at 300 time's standard gravity in a special training room of her design, and was ready for battle when Chichi called to inform her that they were reaching there first target Enshu. Bulma had chosen this world due to its natural resources were of a great value to the Saiyan Empire. This insured that the prince would answer their plea for help.

"Chichi" she called out as she reached the bridge of the ship. "Land on the East Providence of the planet. Then I want you to take 15 men and head for the south. Tell Yamcha to take 25 and head for the north, the remaining men will stay aboard the ship." Bulma stated with an air of confidence around her.

"What should we do if we run into any of the saiyans." Chichi asked.

"If they are female kill them, if male take them alive if you can. We don't know what their ouji looks like so I don't want to risk killing him. You and the rest should bring ki bands to keep them in control once you have them. Then bring them back to the ship we can sort them out here. As for the rest of the population of this world kill them slowly, I don't want to run out of people to kill before the ouji has a chance to make it here.

Chichi nodded in agreement then took off to gather her men and head to the south.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^

It did not take long for the inhabitants of Enshu to realize they were under attack, and call for help. Much to Kakarrot's surprise they claimed to be under attack from Freeza's top elite's. He quickly informed the ouji. Vegeta just nodded in response knowing it would take another ten minutes to get to Enshu, and hoping that all the people there would not be dead in the time it would take to get there.

Once they did arrive most the planet lay in ruins. The north and the south having the most damage.

"Kakarrot" Vegeta yelled, "take some men and head to the south and see if there are any survivors. Tell that brother of yours to take men and go to the north. I will go west."

"But sire let me come with you. Freeza's men are still on the planet I can sense their ki." Kakarrot pleaded.

"Then I am sure you can sense a fairly powerful ki to the south. I want you to deal with it. I will take the one to the west."

"But Vegeta!"

"No buts Kakarrot you have your orders!"

"As you wish sire." Kakarrot said bowing then head to tell his brother of the ouji's words.

Raditz had deiced to join the ouji after he heard of whom they were going after. He was one of the king's elite's and was not ordered to come. Kakarrot knew the true reason behind his bothers wish to join them. Raditz's soon to be mate Calla was on Kandor when the Blue Demon attacked it. No one had survived the attack on Kandor and Raditz was very upset and vowed revenge against those who killed his would be mate.

"Raditz!" Kakarrot called out to his older brother. "The ouji wish for you to take men and head to the north. See if there are any survivors."

Raditz grunted in agreement.

"Oh and brother be careful, Freeza's men are still here."

"I don't need your concern Kakarrot!" Raditz screamed. "I am one of the kings elite's I can handle any of Freeza's men!" he boasted then took to air heading to the north leaving a ki trail behind him.

Kakarrot hoped for his sake he was right and left for the south.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bulma stood in the middle of what was once a great city. It was burning to the ground all around her, and yet she just stood there waiting. She knew that he would come here, and that this was the place where they would do battle. It was so strange this nagging feeling that she was getting. It had told her to go west and go alone. It had told her to dress in all blue with a dark blue hooded cloak that covered her from head to toe, and most of all it had told her he would come. Soon enough she felt a strong ki coming closer and closer to her fast, and she then knew the battle was near.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Vegeta moved through the sea of destruction that was once the west providence. He came upon what was once known as the city of Ames and it was engulfed in flames. He searched around for the ki's of any survivors, and found that there was only one ki in the whole city, one very large and powerful one at that. He knew it had to be the Blue Demon and quickly converged on it.

There stood a single being in the middle of the flames and crumbling buildings. It looked as if he had just stepped out of the depths of hell itself with the flames rising and roaring all around him. The being was dress in a dark blue cloak that covered its whole body. It had to be the Blue Demon.

Vegeta shouted out to him. "This world is apart of the Saiyan Empire, and for your acts of aggression towards it and its people you have declared war on Vegeta-Sei. Punishment for that is death!"

"And who plans to carry out that punishment?" the being asked as he turned around.

"Me of course. Consider yourself luck beast, for you will die at the hands of the Saiyan no Ouji himself!"

Vegeta was then shocked to see the being remove the hood of the cloak revealing two beautiful sapphire eyes, pale white skin, rosy full lips, and shining azure blue hair cascading down. She then rid herself of the cloak all together, and to his amazement she revealed a very astonishing body dress in a tight royal blue body suit with white and gold armor.

"You…you are the Blue Demon!" he managed to choke out.

She smiled at him wickedly.

"You look surprise to see me Ouji, tell me were you expecting someone else."

He just stared at her.

"Well what are you waiting for Ouji? Where is that death you were planning on giving me?" she said with amusement.

Vegeta shook off his initial shock of find out she was a woman, and growled in annoyance.

"It would be wise for you demon to not anger me further, and I might not kill you, just take you to a Vegeta-Sei prison for the rest of your life."

"Oh now that's an offer!" she laughed "I think I would rather die, I don't do small places. Shall we get this fight on, Lord Freeza is waiting and I can see," she said, as she looked him up and down. "I can see why he wants you alive."

"What?" Vegeta screamed.

"It is simple my dear Ouji, as much of a waste it would be, Lord Freeza wishes to have you and I'm sure in more than one way." She stated right as she attacked him with a swift kick to the ribs sending him flying into a building behind.

"Now be a good little monkey" she stated "and play dead so we can go."

Vegeta was extremely pissed that she managed to catch him off guard. He then powered up and launched an array of ki blast at her.

She managed to dodge or deflect everyone of his blast.

"Is that all you got?" she taunted.

He growled with anger, and launched himself at her throwing punches and kicks. She fought back in heated hand to hand battle. Her great skill and power amazed him to no end. A part of him a very small part of him hated to have to kill such an exotic beauty, and talent warrior. He managed to get the upper hand and land an upper cut to her gut causing her to double over. He then slammed his fist into he back making her smash into the hard ground below.

As she stood up slowly spitting out dirt and blood, he prepared for his finial attack.

She turned just in time to her him call out "Final Flash!"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kakarrot was searching all over the south for survivors when he came upon a group of Freeza's men harassing a poor peasant family. He quickly attacked the five men beating them easily. He then turned his attention to the family telling them to head to the east in search of the saiyan vessel, that they would be safe there. The family thanked him and turned to leave and got about 20 feet before a ki blast came down killing them all. Kakarrot looked back in horror seeing the remains of what was once a happy loving family. He then looked to the sky to see a very beautiful raven-haired woman with a cold smile on her face.

"Oops did I do that!" she said with a light laugh.

So what do you think? Vegeta's fighting with Bulma, Chichi about to fight with Kakarrot and we still have Yamcha and Raditz some where in the north! Will Vegeta kill Bulma {now come on you know that's not going to happen it would make for a sucky romance story.} But you're not going to believe what does happen. Let's say I will get the next chapter out real soon. Oh and it might just have a slice of lemon! Tell then….

Love Peace and Chicken Grease
