What Life Throws
Author's note:I don't own Dragon Ball Z, or any of the characters in this story.
Chapter 1: Where We Stand
(Sorry for cutting in before the story, but before you get confused...this story doesn't really follow the storyline of DBZ, for instance, there's no baby Trunks right now, and Yamcha and Bulma are not together. This first takes place right after the androids and Cell were defeated. It's in Bulma's POV.)
It was a dark, and rainy day. I looked around for something to do. The power was out, so anything electric was out of the question, which really took out a lot of my options. I went to the cupboard and took out a couple of candles and got a book. I was only into the fourth chapter so I figured this was as good a time as any to try and get started. I sat down and started to read and after only moments of opening it, I felt weary and overwhelmed.I had too much energy to just sit there. Vegeta had just finished training and went up to his room and went to sleep. I really wanted to go wake him up. Just for fun and the lack of anything better to do. I went upstairs and peeked into his room. He was on his back with his face up towards the ceiling. He looks so adorable just lying there! I should wake him...
"Vegeta..." I whispered. He didn't move.
"Vegeta..." I said it a little louder this time, and I shook him.
"What do you want, woman?" he mumbled.
"I'm bored. Come downstairs, please?" *That's right Bulma...just be nice to him*
"What would I be doing downstairs that would benefit me more than me sleeping right here?!" *Great. He's starting to get aggravated
"I'll cook for you!" *This should work.*
"No! Besides I ate before I came up here." *That's it. I lost him*
"Well,..." *What do I bribe him with now?*
I thought for a minute and looked out the window. It felt like an eternity that I sat there just staring out the window.
"What the hell are you staring at?! And why are you still in here?!" *What do I say now? I don't know the answer to either of these.*
Just as I was going to give him some bullshit answer just to get him to shut up, I saw something come from out of the sky! It had a red aura and sounded like a rocket. It crashed out in the garden!
"Vegeta! Get up! There's something outside!" I screamed.
"I know, woman! I heard it! I'm not deaf!" He yelled back.
He picked himself out of his bed and started to walk over towards the stairs. I stayed two steps behind him, just in case he decided to stop and yawn. I didn't want to bang into him. To be honest, I was scared shitless of the thing that crashed. If anyone was gonna get killed, it wasn't gonna be me. *I don't want anything to happen to Vegeta, but it's either him or me...wait a minute! He's a big he-man. He'll be fine...probably just get mauled or something...*
We walked outside and walked over to the garden. *Hmmm, how could no one have heard that, but us?*
Suddenly Vegeta stopped dead in his tracks.I peeked over his shoulder to see what made him could to a hault. It was a saiyan space pod! I turned back and started to walk back to the house. *Great. Another saiyan. And maybe his one's ugly. At least Vegeta's got a hot body and good looks...and nice flowing hair*
I heard a hiss and spun back towards where Vegeta's vision was directed. *It's opening! Well, I could have expected that...I mean, he's not gonna stay in there...dur*
A really tall man stepped out. He had jet black hair, about a little shorter than Vegeta's length, but it was back in a ponytail, and the pony tail was spike back. The front of his hair had two spikes that came down as bangs. He was about 6'2" and 200 lbs. *Now that's a big dude* He had muscle, but not like bulky muscle. He had a very slim and cut figure. *That's a hottie!*
He went down on one knee and bowed to Vegeta. I looked over at Vegeta and I saw him smirk. *He must be a saiyan* He got up and dusted himself off.
"Prince Vegeta, I've been looking for you." He had a deep masculine voice. It was gentle enough to comfort, but stern enough tell you to back off, if threatened.
"What for?" Vegeta's voice had both curiosity and stability.
"First and foremost, my name is Vincent. I've located the Namekian dragonballs and wished the Planet Vegeta and all it's deceased inhabitants back to life. The wish was successful. King Vegeta was informed by Freiza's ex-employees that you were staying here with an earth woman. So, I was sent to inform you of the planet's revival."
"Wait. How did you survive the destruction of Planet Vegeta?" I asked as I cut into the conversation.
Vincent looked at me and gave me a warm smile and then looked at Vegeta as if asking permission to answer my question.
"You may speak freely to this woman." Vegeta said to him.
"I was five when the planet was destroyed. My father was not of the high level warriors, but he was a genius. So, they had him work in the laboratory. He worked with a man named Bardock which was in the same situation as my father, except he was much stronger. In fact, he was an elite soldier, but with Freiza's men, King Vegeta was always worried about treason, so Bardock had to work as both, a scientist and a soldier. The day the planet was supposed to be destroyed, Bardock told my father that he's had premonitions about the destruction of the planet and told my father to take precautions and send me to another planet. My father and Bardock were best friends for years and my father heeded Bardock's warning and sure enough, that afternoon, Frieza destroyed the Planet Vegeta and the rest of the saiyans.Which reminds me, I was also told of Bardock's son, Kakarott. Do you know of him?"
"Yes, we know him. He was raised by the humans and is weak with emotions, the only saiyan he has left in him, is his fighter spirit flowing through his veins. So, get to the point...what are you hear to ask of me?"
"I have the same proposition for you and Kakarott. Also, I don't feel like explaining it twice, so, if you would be so kind as to get in contact with him so I can explain this all at once...and can we go inside, because I'm not sure if you guys have noticed, but it's raining."
(That's the end of Chapter 1.I hoped you enjoyed it.There's gonna be more of Vincent in the Chapters.I guess I really liked the way he turned out.Well, please read and review.If you don't like it so far, I'm sorry,just stop reading it when you feel like it.Please no HATE MAIL.I hate,uh...HATE MAIL.)
