The Secret of the Enchantress
Chapter 5: Dragonball Hunt
Bulma woke up and blinked looking around. She didn't know where she was until she realized everything was black. 'That's right. I am in Vegeta's room.' She thought. She gasped when Vegeta's fuzzy tail wrapped itself firmly around her waist. Then she stared at it in wonder. It was long and luxurious. Like rare satin. Bulma reached her hand towards it. She knew that she wasn't supposed to touch it, but it was tempting her almost hypnotizing. She touched it and rubbed her hand down the silky length.
In a flash and growling, Vegeta was on top of her pining her to the bed. He blinked when he realized who it was. "Oh, it's just you, woman." He said. Bulma sighed with relief; she wasn't prepared for that. For a moment they stared at each other with awe, until Vegeta said while getting up, "Don't touch my tail anymore, woman. I don't want to have to hurt you." Bulma eyes widened. Hurt her? Why would he want to hurt her? "Vegeta," She called while he was in the bathroom. "Woman." He replied. "Why are we being so nice to each other. Why are YOU being so nice to me? Especially when could kill me whenever you wanted to." She asked. Vegeta smirked as he came back in the room. Bulma's eyes widened as she noticed he was nude. She traveled her gaze over him and gulped.
Vege ta looked at her expression, came closer and whispered low in her ear, "Like what you see, Woman?" Bulma blushed, looked down at his bed then nodded. Vegeta smirked again, then got serious as he realized, 'She really is innocent.' He got some boxers on, kneeled down beside Bulma and asked, "Have you ever been with a man, Woman? Sexually? I mean, I'm not trying to get into your personal life, but have you?" Bulma looked up and said, "Of course, I have. I did have a few sex encounters with Yamcha but that's about it."
Vegeta scowled with disgust. 'How could she have sex with someone so unworthy? That weak fool is wasting her time. But then again, she looks so innocent I could've sworn she was untouched.' He then remembered her questions and said, "I am nice to you because you care for me, I haven't known anyone who hugs me. Other than my mother when I was really young. You respected me more than anybody else actually. I love that about you." They stared each other in the eyes and were about to kiss when Bulma's phone rang. "Come, phone." Bulma said. The phone floated into Vegeta room and into her hands. "I will never get used to that." Vegeta said as Bulma pushed the talk button and said, "Hello?"
"Hey, Bulma." Goku's cheerful voice called. "Hi, Goku. Are you guys ready?" Bulma asked. "Yep. We will be waiting for you. Okay?" "Yeah, okay. See you then." Bulma said, then she hung up the phone. Then she started to leave the room. Vegeta frowned then said, "Woman, you're leaving now?" Bulma stopped then said, "Yes. I will see you soon." Vegeta got up and hugged her saying, "Woman, I want you to come back to me. Don't make me come after you." Bulma flashed him a dazzling smile. "Don't worry, Vegeta. You will always be with me. But I promise that I will come back." He nodded and Bulma turned around to go pack.
"All right, let's go!" Gohan yelled as he, his father and Bulma got in the plane. She started the plane again and they were off. The seven dragonballs were in different parts of the world.
BRAZIL, SOUTH AMERICA:
The first dragonball was in Brazil. Bulma landed the plane on the banks of the Amazon River and looked at the Dragonball Radar. "It's around here somewhere. Goku can you see it?" Goku got out of the plane and looked around then he looked in the river. He could see a glimmer at the bottom and looking closer, he could see that it was a dragonball. The one star dragonball to be exact. "Yeah, I see it. I'm going in." With that he jumped into the river and swam to the bottom. He grabbed the dragonball and began to swim back up to shore.
Meanwhile Bulma and Gohan were watching silently when all of a sudden Gohan said, "Hey, Bulma, isn't there piranhas in the Amazon river?" When she heard that Bulma's eyes widened. She looked towards Goku and gasped when she saw several tiny fish heading for him. "Oh, Kami." They both mummered. Goku broke the surface and held up the dragonball saying, "I got it!" He then frowned seeing them motioning him to come back. "Goku, there are piranhas in the river!" Bulma yelled, pointing behind him. Goku turned around frowned and said "Oh, great!"
He tried to swim to shore, but he was still in the middle. "Dad, hurry up!" Gohan yelled. The tiny fish were on his tail. All of sudden Bulma had a idea. She lifted up her hands and yelled. "Up, Amazon!" The huge river along with the piranhas floated up and over Goku . While Bulma held the river up, Goku ran up the bank and got back in the plane with Gohan, panting wildly. Then she let down the river and the piranhas slowly. Then she started the plane and they were off towards their next destination.
GIZA, EGYPT:
"Now what?" Bulma asked looking up the tall humongous pyramid that held the two star dragonball on it. The sun reflected off it brightly. "We climb." Goku said. "We?" Bulma said. "Oh no, Goku. You have lost your damn mind. There is no way I am going up there." Gohan took a hold of her hand and said, "Come on Bulma. It will be fun." Bulma looked from Gohan to the pyramid then back to Gohan and said, "Oh, all right. But if I faint you are taking me back down." She took her backpack and together they started to climb
Two hours later they were still at the bottom. Goku turned and noticed that the sun was going down. " Hey you two, since we are still nowhere close to the dragonball, we are going to have to camp here. "Here? Were are we going to sleep." Bulma asked looking around. Goku also looked around and realized what a bind they were in. They were half way up the pyramid. It would take equal time to go either up or down. Goku finally said, "Well, there's enough space here lets have each of us sleep on one step. "Great." Bulma said rolling her eyes. Then they set up camp and fell asleep. In the middle of the night though, Bulma woke up. She was wondering when exactly would they be able to get there. Then it came to her. "Goku, you dumbass!" She whispered. 'We could have just flew up there. It would have been a lot faster.' She got out of her sleeping bag and flew up to the top. When she got up there, she could see the moon shining down on her. "How beautiful." She breathed. Then she turned, grabbed the ball and flew back down to where Goku and Gohan were sleeping. After putting the two star ball in her bag with the other one, she got in the sleeping and closed her eyes, exhausted.
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA:
"Here we are." Bulma said as she landed the plane on the light gray stone bridge. Then she frowned and said, "Well, the radar says that the three star dragonball is here. She got out and climbed on top of the plane. When she looked across the way, her mouth dropped. "There it is!" The dragonball was at the way end of the Great Wall of China. "Now what, Dad?" Gohan said. Goku smiled, looked at the two other people and said, "I'll race you guys to the Dragonball." Bulma grinned and said, "What's the catch, Goku?" Goku smiled then said, "Whoever loses has to buy the winner lunch...of whatever they want." Bulma's stomach rumbled and she replied, "You're on!" She got down and stood at the starting place with Goku on her left and Gohan on her right. "On your mark...get set...go!
They took off, with Goku easily in the lead. Gohan was behind him and Bulma was way in the back. Bulma stopped and smiled devilishly, for she had a plan. "Speed boost!" She yelled. All of a sudden she took off with a burst of speed. She ran past Gohan shocked expression and worked her way towards the leader. "Look who's buying me lunch!" She yelled in a sing-song voice. Goku took a double take then replied, "Hey, that's not fair! You are using powers!" By the time he got to the end, Bulma was on her back laughing hysterically. The dragonball was in her hands. Goku collapsed beside her and started laughing as well. While she was lying there, Bulma couldn't help but wonder how Vegeta was doing.
ROME, ITALY:
Goku, Bulma and Gohan looked around in awe in the huge Roman Colosseum. "I can't believe that this used to be full of people a long time ago." Bulma said as they walked in the middle. "It's so round." Gohan said, turning around in a circle. "Hey the radar says that the Dragonball is somewhere in the bottom, so let's split up." Bulma said. Goku and Gohan nodded in agreement. Then they went in different directions. Bulma to the right and Goku and Gohan to the left.
"Let's see..." Bulma said walking down a dark corridor. She couldn't really see anything in the dark, but she trusted the Dragonball Radar. When she was in the middle of the corridor, she felt something behind her. She gasped and her eyes widened when she realized she could see her breath. She began to feel cold and rubbed her arms trying to warm them. She could also hear voices. "You will not live long... We will find you... and kill you." were all around her ears in hushed voices. Bulma had never been so terrified. All of a sudden something fell on the ground behind her. She screamed and tried to run in the dark, away from what ever was trying to get her. "GOKU, GOHAN! Please help me!" She yelled in fear.
Gohan's ears perked and he leaned his head forward saying, "Dad, do you hear that?" Goku listened and his eyes widened as he heard his best friend screaming in horror. Goku also heard the hushed voices with his advanced Saiyan hearing. He started running towards her feeling for her ki. Gohan was not far behind. Bulma meanwhile ran for her life, even though she didn't know what was behind her. All of a sudden two strong arms caught her. She screamed and soon fainted. Goku put his arm under her legs and picked her limp form up. "Gohan, you have Grandpa's dragonball right?" Gohan nodded and pulled it out. The four star Dragonball gleamed in it's own light. Goku nodded then said, "Let's go." "All right, Dad." Gohan said, then turned to leave. Goku turned to leave as well, but before he did, he looked behind warningly at whatever scared his friend so much. Then he slowly turned and left.
OUTBACK, AUSTRALIA
After the mysterious rescue back in Rome, Goku landed the plane in the hot terrain of the Outback. When the plane hit the ground, Bulma's eyes opened. "Goku... Goku! You rescued me! I knew you would rescue me!" Goku looked at her from the driver's seat and asked, "Bulma, what happened?" Bulma looked down and replied, "I don't really know. All I know is that someone was chasing me." "Well let me see the Radar and I will get the fifth and sixth star dragonballs. You just rest." Bulma nodded and gave him the radar.
Goku and Gohan got out of the plane and Goku looked at the radar. "The dragonballs should be right ahead of us." He replied. He looked up and gasped. There in front of him was a bunch of kangaroos. "I don't see the dragonballs anywhere." He said, worriedly. "I got it, Dad. They must be in the kangaroo's pouches." Gohan said, smiling. Goku looked at the kangaroos and then smiled and said, "Let's do it, Gohan." Gohan nodded and replied, "Okay." They got out of the plane and walked towards the kangaroos carefully. Bulma looked out of the plane and giggled seeing them creeping towards the unknowing kangaroo. When Goku came close to one, it stared at him as if knowing what he was trying to do. Goku gulped then said, "Hello... there, Mr. Kangaroo. I was wondering could I please have something inside your pouch?" The kangaroo stayed quiet and Goku thought that he was home free, but as soon as he came closer he bounded off. "Aw geez!" Goku exclaimed, running after it. As he did he realized that Gohan was having just as much trouble. Back at the plane, Bulma was laughing her ass off sitting on top of it.
She watched as Goku leaped towards the kangaroo and just as it bounded away, fell flat on his face. Seeing this made her fall backwards in laughter. "I can't get it Dad." Gohan yelled. He ran towards his father. "Almost there..." Goku yelled, running towards Gohan. Bulma was the only one who could see what was about to happen. "Goku, Gohan, look out!" She yelled. She closed her eyes just in time to hear the collision between the two. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Goku and Gohan lying in a heap, moaning and groaning. "Well, I guess I should help out." She said, jumping down from the plane. Bulma walked towards the kangaroos and immediately they slowed down and allowed her to come close to them. Bulma smiled at them and went to one of them that had one of the dragonballs. "Hello there." She said, petting it on the head. The kangaroo stayed still as Bulma pet it's soft tan fur. Carefully, Bulma put her hand in the kangaroo's pouch and felt around until she enclosed her hand around the round ball. She pulled it out as Goku gasped and asked, "Did you do that with your powers?"
Bul ma looked at Goku weirdly and said, "Do what? Make the kangaroos calm down?" Goku and Gohan nodded and Bulma said, "No, they did that themselves. It was like I was some kind of queen or something. They respect me." It was true. Once Bulma was upon them, the kangaroos became deathly still, like any movement was fatal. But all Bulma did was pet each and every one of them. She finally moved to the final one and grabbed the second dragonball gently out of the pouch. Once she put them in her bag, she looked up at the group of animals. They stared at her with their dark eyes as if they knew something about her that she didn't. "Um...thank you." She said. The kangaroos stayed silent as Bulma, Goku and Gohan walked to the plane. As soon the plane was started, it took off and kangaroos went their own ways.
THE HIMALAYAS, NORTHERN INDIA
The Dragonball radar revealed that the last dragonball was deep in the snow of the Himalayas. To prepare themselves for the cold, Bulma, Goku and Gohan covered themselves in thick snowsuits and snow boots. As soon as the plane was landed in a safe place, the three began climbing again. They faced chilling winds and snow flying in their faces. "Boy, and I thought the pyramid was hard." Bulma said, trying hard to keep up with the other two. Goku fell back, and grabbed Bulma's hand saying, "Come on, we're close. Look." He pointed at the Dragonball radar and Bulma could see it. "We're only a few feet away. Let's go!" She yelled. Goku nodded and together they started climbing again. All of a sudden they noticed that Goku had stopped. "Gohan, what do you see?" Goku asked, yelling against the wind. "Dad it's not what I see, it's what I hear. Listen!" Gohan yelled. Goku and Bulma stopped and listened. Sure enough, they heard hush whispers against the wind. "What is that?" Bulma asked in fear. She cowered closer to Goku. Goku himself looked dumbfounded as he replied, "There's no telling!"
Soon it became totally quiet and Bulma realized something, "The snow has stopped." She exclaimed. There were no more snow blasts or even snow for that matter. The three begin to feel rumbling under their feet. "What's going on, Dad?" Gohan asked. Goku looked around and upwards then his eyes widened as he said, "RUN!" Bulma and Gohan looked up in confusion and their eyes widened just as wide as they saw a huge avalanche coming towards them. In a burst of speed, the 3 people ran off quick-like back down the mountain. The snow was coming at full speed toward them. Bulma ran as fast as she could, tears blinding her vision. "It can't end like this!" She exclaimed. Then she heard a thud. She looked behind her and gasped as a immense icicle came flying towards her. Bulma screamed, yelled "Speed boost!", and jumped quickly out of the way just as the icicle landed behind her.
Bulma caught up with Goku and together they ran away, dodging icicles and rocks blocking their way. All of a sudden they heard a cry. Bulma and Goku stopped and Goku yelled, "Where's Gohan?" Bulma turned around and gasped crying out, "Oh, no!" She ran back up to Gohan. Gohan was lying on his back gasping in pain and surprise. There were icicles all over him, pinning him to the ground. One had pierced his left side and red blood was flowing all over the white snow. "Oh, Gohan. Hang on! Goku, help!" Bulma said, looking up at the avalanche still coming down towards them. 'I have to do something.' She thought. Suddenly an unknown power flew through her and she knew what she had to do. She walked calmly towards the avalanche and looked up at it. Meanwhile, Goku flew up to Gohan and with a quick yell, began throwing ki balls at the surrounding icicles. They shattered, freeing Gohan from his prison. He saw Bulma facing the avalanche and yelled, "Bulma, watch yourself!"
B ulma's eyes became a glowing white and she lifted up her hands and yelled, "Stop! I command you to stop!" A shield surrounded the area she was around and stopped the avalanche. It still was pretty powerful and Bulma concentrated with all her strength to keep it at bay. "...Stop...just stop..." She willed it, feeling sweat falling down her face and back. Goku could not believe the power his best friend was putting out. "Her ki is amazing!" Goku replied, landing near his son. "Gohan, are you all right." He asked, shaking him. But Gohan was already unconscious. Finally with a huge scream, Bulma lifted up the snow and threw it down forcefully, spreading it out smoothly. All was quiet once more. Goku shielded his eyes as a huge gust of wind went past him, then looked up at Bulma. Bulma fell to her knees and started gasping for air. Never had she felt so tired. The seven star dragonball rolled down towards her, stopping at her feet. With all her strength, Bulma reached down and picked it up saying, "The last one..." Then she fainted face first into the snow. "Bulma!" Goku yelled in horror.
Vegeta stopped in mid blast inside the gravity room. Something had gone wrong...he could sense it. He secretly hoped she was all right.
Chapter 5: Dragonball Hunt
Bulma woke up and blinked looking around. She didn't know where she was until she realized everything was black. 'That's right. I am in Vegeta's room.' She thought. She gasped when Vegeta's fuzzy tail wrapped itself firmly around her waist. Then she stared at it in wonder. It was long and luxurious. Like rare satin. Bulma reached her hand towards it. She knew that she wasn't supposed to touch it, but it was tempting her almost hypnotizing. She touched it and rubbed her hand down the silky length.
In a flash and growling, Vegeta was on top of her pining her to the bed. He blinked when he realized who it was. "Oh, it's just you, woman." He said. Bulma sighed with relief; she wasn't prepared for that. For a moment they stared at each other with awe, until Vegeta said while getting up, "Don't touch my tail anymore, woman. I don't want to have to hurt you." Bulma eyes widened. Hurt her? Why would he want to hurt her? "Vegeta," She called while he was in the bathroom. "Woman." He replied. "Why are we being so nice to each other. Why are YOU being so nice to me? Especially when could kill me whenever you wanted to." She asked. Vegeta smirked as he came back in the room.

The phone floated into Vegeta room and into her hands. "I will never get used to that." Vegeta said as Bulma pushed the talk button and said, "Hello?"
"Hey, Bulma." Goku's cheerful voice called. "Hi, Goku. Are you guys ready?" Bulma asked. "Yep. We will be waiting for you. Okay?" "Yeah, okay. See you then." Bulma said, then she hung up the phone.

They faced chilling winds and snow flying in their faces. "Boy, and I thought the pyramid was hard." Bulma said, trying hard to keep up with the other two. Goku fell back, and grabbed Bulma's hand saying, "Come on, we're close. Look." He pointed at the Dragonball radar and Bulma could see it. "We're only a few feet away. Let's go!" She yelled. Goku nodded and together they started climbing again. All of a sudden they noticed that Goku had stopped. "Gohan, what do you see?" Goku asked, yelling against the wind. "Dad it's not what I see, it's what I hear. Listen!" Gohan yelled. Goku and Bulma stopped and listened. Sure enough, they heard hush whispers against the wind. "What is that?" Bulma asked in fear. She cowered closer to Goku. Goku himself looked dumbfounded as he replied, "There's no telling!"
Soon it became totally quiet and Bulma realized something, "The snow has stopped." She exclaimed. There were no more snow blasts or even snow for that matter. The three begin to feel rumbling under their feet. "What's going on, Dad?" Gohan asked. Goku looked around and upwards then his eyes widened as he said, "RUN!" Bulma and Gohan looked up in confusion and their eyes widened just as wide as they saw a huge avalanche coming towards them. In a burst of speed, the 3 people ran off quick-like back down the mountain. The snow was coming at full speed toward them. Bulma ran as fast as she could, tears blinding her vision. "It can't end like this!" She exclaimed. Then she heard a thud. She looked behind her and gasped as a immense icicle came flying towards her. Bulma screamed, yelled "Speed boost!", and jumped quickly out of the way just as the icicle landed behind her.
Bulma caught up with Goku and together they ran away, dodging icicles and rocks blocking their way. All of a sudden they heard a cry. Bulma and Goku stopped and Goku yelled, "Where's Gohan?" Bulma turned around and gasped crying out, "Oh, no!" She ran back up to Gohan. Gohan was lying on his back gasping in pain and surprise. There were icicles all over him, pinning him to the ground. One had pierced his left side and red blood was flowing all over the white snow. "Oh, Gohan. Hang on! Goku, help!" Bulma said, looking up at the avalanche still coming down towards them. 'I have to do something.' She thought. Suddenly an unknown power flew through her and she knew what she had to do. She walked calmly towards the avalanche and looked up at it. Meanwhile, Goku flew up to Gohan and with a quick yell, began throwing ki balls at the surrounding icicles. They shattered, freeing Gohan from his prison. He saw Bulma facing the avalanche and yelled, "Bulma, watch yourself!"
B ulma's eyes became a glowing white and she lifted up her hands and yelled, "Stop! I command you to stop!" A shield surrounded the area she was around and stopped the avalanche. It still was pretty powerful and Bulma concentrated with all her strength to keep it at bay. "...Stop...just stop..." She willed it, feeling sweat falling down her face and back. Goku could not believe the power his best friend was putting out. "Her ki is amazing!" Goku replied, landing near his son. "Gohan, are you all right." He asked, shaking him. But Gohan was already unconscious. Finally with a huge scream, Bulma lifted up the snow and threw it down forcefully, spreading it out smoothly. All was quiet once more. Goku shielded his eyes as a huge gust of wind went past him, then looked up at Bulma. Bulma fell to her knees and started gasping for air. Never had she felt so tired. The seven star dragonball rolled down towards her, stopping at her feet. With all her strength, Bulma reached down and picked it up saying, "The last one..." Then she fainted face first into the snow. "Bulma!" Goku yelled in horror.
Vegeta stopped in mid blast inside the gravity room. Something had gone wrong...he could sense it. He secretly hoped she was all right.
