(Two Weeks Later)
Bulma squirmed under her sheets, sweat glistened on her face and neck as her eyes shifted under closed lids.
The faceless man stood before her, his tail on her right wrist. Bulma looked up, but could not see his eyes.
"Who are you?" she asked him. He opened his mouth, but only a howl of pure pain escaped his lips as once again his side was split open by an unseen force. "Iie," she cried out as the blood hit her face and his body crumpled to the ground. That's when she caught a glimpse of his face. Her eyes watered as she crouched down to hold him. "Vegeta?" she murmured as she shook him.. "Vegeta!" Suddenly she felt herself being lifted.
"Onna," a rough voice called. "Wake up!" Bulma's cerulean eyes opened slowly as her blurry vision began to clear to reveal an upset Sayian. He frowned, trying to cover up his previous exposed emotions. Bulma's eyes were still wet from her tears and Vegeta could see the fear and sadness evident in her eyes. "Onna, you were just dre-" Vegeta was cut off as Bulma flung herself at him. He allowed her to cry into his chest until it seemed that she realized what she was doing and pushed herself away from him. "You will be fine?" Bulma nodded as she lay back on her bed and closed her eyes, but after Vegeta left she quickly got up and dressed. She knew it was only four forty-five in the morning, but after that nightmare she knew she wasn't going to get any sleep any time soon. She headed down to her lab in search of something to do.

Vegeta didn't head back to his room, instead he headed to the GR where he threw himself into his training. In the back of his mind though Bulma's voice cried to him.
Flash Back
Vegeta was fast asleep when he heard Bulma whimper in her room next to his. He was about to dismiss her nightmarish whining when she cried out his name. Vegeta shot up out of his bed, anxiety making his heart beat wildly as fear for her safety (which he would not admit to) making him hurry into her room. When he entered the dark room he found Bulma wrapped up in her sheets, her comforter forgotten on the floor next to her bed. Her upper body was exposed, her lingerie top had slipped down in her struggles with her subconscious. One side had fallen low enough that Vegeta could see the hint of cleavage. Her skin was flushed and glistened in the moonlight that had entered her room from her window.
"Vegeta!" she screamed as her body arched her back, almost as if electricity surged through her body. He went to her and pulled her into his eyes, trying to comfort her. He called her a few times before she opened her eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her eyes orient themselves. Suddenly he felt foolish. She would make fun of him and tell everyone that he was a weakling for showing emotions, so he straightened his face and after making sure she was okay he made his way to the GR, where he was now.
End of Flash Back
Vegeta punched at some bots as they came after him. After a few hours of sparring with the lifeless things he gave up and headed for the kitchen. As he passed Bulma's lab he heard noises.
'Hmmm... Could the Onna be awake?' Vegeta asked himself as he stuck his ear up against the cool door of the lab. Metallic noises could be heard as could the hissing of a blow torch.
"Almost done," Bulma said out loud to the empty room as she soldered another metal piece onto the basketball sized sphere. "I hope he likes you," she said to the inanimate object.
"I will if I know what it is," Vegeta said as he entered the room. Bulma flinched as she turned quickly to face him, her torch still lit. He could see her eyes full of fear through the protective mask that she wore. The fear expelled as she saw that it was him.
"Oh, Vegeta," she said standing up in front of her creation. She turned off the torch and put it down next to it. "You scared me!" Vegeta smirked and stepped closer to her.
"What are you hiding?" he inquires as he tried to look behind her. Bulma smiled mischievously.
"Something that I made for you," she said as she stepped out of the way so that he could see her finished creation. Vegeta picked up the sphere and examined it.
"What is it? What does it do?"
"Well, it's two things really. It's name is Opponent One and it's a new bot to help you fight. It also will help regrow your tail." Vegeta looked over at her, shock written clearly on his face.
"Why?" he asked. Bulma shrugged.
"I know that you need a challenge and I also know that you do not feel like a true Sayian without your tail." Vegeta smirked and with the orb in his arms he headed for the GR, Bulma in tow. Vegeta entered first and she followed him, but stepped back as Vegeta set the orb on the floor in front of him.
"What do I do?" Vegeta asked with a quizzical look on his face as he glanced at her.
"First, push the black button at the bottom." Vegeta did as he was instructed and the orb hummed to life as it began to hover off the floor. The hum that it emitted did not sound like that of a machine, but Vegeta dismissed it as the sphere hovered at eye level with him. It did nothing more so Vegeta looked over at Bulma again. "Oh, sorry," she said as she came out of her stupor. She turned her attention to the orb. "Opponent One, program one!" She commanded. Vegeta watched in boredom as the orb began to glow. This changed as lines began to form around the orb in the form of a body. Vegeta watched in fascination as colors filled in the lines and the person in front of him became solid. Vegeta smirked as he looked over at Bulma.
"The green bean?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Piccolo moved to a fighting stance, waiting for Vegeta's command.
"Well, there are more, but I thought that we could work our way around to each one," Bulma said as she headed for the door, but before leaving she said over her shoulder. "Tell me how he works out."
