"Here goes!" Gotenks said as he, Piccolo, and I began to scream very loudly to try to make a rip between dimensions to get out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but nothing happened. "It's not working!" Piccolo said. "Rip between dimensions... WHY! WON'T! YOU! APPEAR?!" I shouted in arc words.
"We gotta keep trying!" Piccolo said as he and I tried again. By now, Super Buu is probably on a feeding frenzy turning everyone in the Lookout into chocolate. "Too bad there's no audience to see this!" Gotenks spoke. "What're you going to do?" Piccolo asked. "Just guess..." Gotenks chuckled.
Piccolo then began to pound him on the head. "This is no time for your games!" He shouted. "Party pooper..." Gotenks groaned. "Guys, stand back..." Gotenks said as he began to shout in his Super Saiyan, but all of a sudden, we notice him skipping Super Saiyan 2 as his hair grew longer, and then he entered it! Super Saiyan 3!
"Yeah!" Gotenks said after transforming. "What?! Your hair... your body.... You've been transformed!" Piccolo said in his shock. "You guys like the new look? You should..." SSJ3 Gotenks smirked. "Holy smokes, Gotenks, you rock!" I shouted. "You bet I do. Just leave everything to me, big guy." Gotenks said to me, as he took a look in the mirror.
"Hey, with all this crazy hair, I barely recognize myself." Gotenks stated. "Eh, at least it's better than pointy ears." He said. "You've become a Super Saiyan 3... How...how did you do it?" Piccolo asked. "Does it matter?" I asked.
"Yo, Zizzi!" Shouted the Majin Time Hero, PJ from outside of Zizzi's apartment. (@muses-of-the-memory)
Zizzi would blink a couple of times as she looked over to the window. Pausing her movie as she would open it up. "Yeah, what's up?" She asked him as she stretched her arms over head.

You know, it's funny. Vegeta likes to boast about being Prince of Saiyans but there are only four Saiyans left in existence and they're scattered to different planets. It's kind of like Leia being Princess of Alderaan. It's an important title to him personally but it doesn't really mean anything anymore on a political level.
Bulma, meanwhile, is heir to the largest billion-dollar megacorporation on the planet. Having invented shrinking tech, Capsule Corp now makes everything. The world is filled with Capsule cars and Capsule homes and Capsule guns and Capsule submarines. They've completely reinvented the very nature of what products are.
They have enough money to effortlessly burn resources on private space ventures and build gravity machines into their palatial estate. Even as a child, Bulma was important enough that when a small boy showed up asking to see her, he was given a police escort to her home just to make sure she really did know this kid and everything was on the up and up.
(And when Bulma tells the cop that she cut school, he just meekly responds with, "Oh, you shouldn't but okay." He has no authority here.)
Now they live together in Bulma's giant house surrounded by Bulma's immeasurable wealth and luxury, with their family supported by the family's servant robots.
Basically, the funny thing about Bulma and Vegeta's marriage is that Vegeta is the one who married into royalty.

Crooked Ways [12/22]
“It’s a full moon, isn’t it?”
Bulma’s snap, reverberated beyond her usual volume of temper to ring through the training pod, didn’t stop Vegeta from tapping his foot.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’re so impatient and aggressive sometimes,” she explained. Only her bottom half was visible, the top slid inside the central panel where she was implementing - or attempting to implement - the gravity sensors in the training pod. For two days of work it hadn’t gotten very far. She’d explained something about conduits and wires that Vegeta hadn’t understood or wanted to understand. He wanted his training room back. “I think it’s a pattern,” Bulma continued. “Every few weeks you get more angry, then you cool off again.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Vegeta repeated, but this time he crossed his arms stiffly across his chest. He knew exactly what she was talking about, and she was right. She was more observant than he’d care to admit. “I just want you to hurry up and get this stupid pod fixed!”
A wrench cinched inside the panel, then a frozen moment where he could hear Bulma inhaling a huge breath to half-shout, “If you tell me to hurry up one more time - ”
“Get it done and I won’t have to tell you hurry up anymore!”
“Yeah, sure!” Bulma rolled into view, throwing a wrench aside and grabbing some other tool from the messy pile she’d accumulated outside the central station. “Then you’ll be yapping at me to do something else!” Her eyes lingered on him for a split-second, narrowing in on his bandaged arms, otherwise bare in his new Capsule Corp tank top.
“I’m fine!” Vegeta barked, because he knew what was coming next. “The scabs fell off this morning.”
“So why the bandages?”
“I…I don’t want the new skin to get damaged again.”
“Huh. I guess you do heal fast, then.” She rolled back out of sight, feet tapping on the ground as she resumed her work. The view of her lower half wasn’t helping his composure, he knew, but he also savored the view without worrying she’d notice and bite his head off.
“I told you I did,” he said. The cuffs of her jumpsuit were rolled up, revealing slender, white ankles that disappeared into red socks and tennis shoes.
“Blah, blah.” A slight grunt and hiss of air. “Listen, this is going to take a while, so you may as well go use the gym inside - ”
“No! I will supervise so as to ensure you don’t slack off.”
“Who do you think you are, my boss?”
“I think…I think you don’t realize the urgency of my needs!” Vegeta stated, shifting his weight slightly.
“Go use a bathroom.”
“Not that kind of need, you wench!”
But Bulma laughed, the noise filling the pod and his ears and overflowing until he found himself rubbing the goosebumps on his arms unconsciously.
“If you’re going to stick around, amuse me, then,” she said. Rolled out again, plucked a new tool, rolled back out of sight. Not too quickly so that Vegeta saw the precarious hold the zipper of her jumpsuit had over her breasts. “Did Planet Vegeta have princesses?”
Out of all the questions she could have asked, he wouldn’t have placed a bet on that one. Not that he’d reveal how taken aback he was. “If I had had a sister, it would have,” Vegeta intoned. “But no.”
“So who would you have married, if not a princess?”
He nearly choked, eyes bugging out as he stared at her legs. “I would have likely wed a high class warrior to strengthen my line and my throne.” The answer was simple enough to give, and he felt certain he’d given it quickly enough that she wouldn’t suspect how uncomfortable he was treading over this ground. He’d left the planet too young for much more than suggestions of an early betrothal from over-ambitious councilors of his father’s, and once the planet was gone there had been no one left to push for an alliance.
“I see.” Bulma’s voice was quiet. He didn’t hear her tinkling around inside the panel, so gruffly he took the offense to bark,
“And who would you marry? You seem to think yourself a princess of Earth. Which prince's life will you ruin?”
“Earth doesn’t have any royalty like that,” she said, still quiet. “And I’m not a real princess.”
“Your father is one of the most powerful men Earth has, politically speaking,” Vegeta said, feeling pragmatic as he wandered around the console, pretending to scrutinize the buttons and keys. “Not physically, of course. I understand that in some worlds, when it comes to royalty there are other qualities that a race may value more highly than brawn. I don’t understand the appeal, myself.”
“Of course you don’t.” Her muttered comment likely wasn’t meant for his ears, but his hearing was exceptional compared to a human’s. He ignored the comment, anyway, closing in his offense with,
“For the closest this rock has to a princess, I’m surprised you don’t have more suitors.”
Silence. Vegeta waited for her screaming and screeching, a smile already upturning the corners of his mouth, but with a sudden sense of horror in his gut he heard the interest in her voice as she asked, “Oh? You’ve thought about it?”
“No!” he roared so quickly that he could have cursed himself for giving himself away.
“Where should I send my Earth ambassadors to negotiate such an alliance?” Bulma teased. Vegeta grunted under his breath, glad that she couldn’t see him hunched over a keyboard with his fists holding his weight on the frame. “Goku? Will he stand in as your advisor?”
“I’d sooner take counsel with a frog!”
“I’ll send the ambassadors to the pond, then.”
He could have screamed. His entire offense had backfired.
“Oh, lighten up!” Bulma’s teal head appeared around the console, standing up with a wince as she twisted from side to side. Her zipper had lost its battle with her breasts, the red tank top underneath too vivid for Vegeta’s wellbeing. “I’m done for today. It’s late and I’m tired and hungry. I’ll run the tests first thing tomorrow so as long as I did everything right today, you can be training in heavy gravity by lunch.”
“Fine,” Vegeta said, turning away.
“Not going to boss me around to keep working until it’s done?”
“What’s the point? You’re not going to listen.”
This time her laugh crawled over his skin like soft fingertips to tickle around his ears. He almost itched them, just to be sure she hadn’t crept up on him. Not that she could; his reflexes were fantastic.
“True,” Bulma agreed. “Want to order a few pizzas and watch a movie?”
He hesitated. Thought of the zipper on her jumpsuit, the smudges of grease on her cheeks and neck and hands, the braids over her shoulder that could barely be called braids at this point of disarray. “What movie?” he asked. He didn’t want her to suss out how badly he wanted to say yes.
“Oh, whatever’s on.” No surprise - she didn’t bother cleaning up her tools, simply kicking a few aside to make a better path to the door. “And don’t get any ideas,” Bulma added, pointing a finger at his face. “I want to watch something with a good plot. That’s not an invitation to kiss me through the whole thing.”
Vegeta was left, open-mouthed and gaping as she left through the door with a wink. He hurried to catch up with her, fuming. As if his anger would disguise the blush creeping up his neck. “I didn’t offer!” he hissed. The compound lawns, golden in the sunset, made his words muted and weak. And Bulma laughed again.
“I’m offering,” she said, nudging him in the side with an elbow. He jerked away, though that area had no recent injuries, her touch still electrified him.
“But you just said - ”
“Oh, Vegeta.” Bulma shook her head, hair clinging to her face and the wide beam of her smile. “You don’t understand women.”
He scoffed. “What’s the point in trying?”
“The point is, a few hours of making out on the couch. Interested?”
Vegeta couldn’t say yes too quickly or she’d know how much he’d liked kissing her. And how much he wanted to repeat the occasion as often as possible.
“My gosh,” Bulma said when he remained silent. Her brows were pinched now, sending him a veritable glare as they made it to the sidewalk leading to the main entrance of the dome. “This front you put up is exhausting. Why do you live in a constant state of self denial?”
“Why do you live in a constant state of self indulgence?” he sniped back. “Some things matter more than pleasure.”
Her brows rose, lips compressing together in a thin line before relaxing into a smile. The doors whooshed open ahead of them, the lobby already emptied of the usual secretaries.
“Life is hard,” Bulma said with a feminine shrug that sent her zipper south a few more teeth. “And the difficulties simply aren’t worth it if you can’t wring out a few minutes of pleasure here and there, I think. What do you think?”
Vegeta thought that maybe she had a point, but all he gave was a grunt.
Incidentally, an hour or so later when the living room was littered with empty pizza boxes and a movie was playing in the background and Bulma’s tongue was in his mouth, he decided it was worth giving up his side of the argument. Even just in his head, and he hadn’t admitted it out loud.
Something about the kissing being planned and bargained into their evening had left him feeling more in control than their first kiss, when he’d given into impulse and lost himself in how delicious her reactions had been. Now that he knew how soft she felt with his hands all over her, he could steel himself. When he suckled on her throat to brand her sweet, tangy taste on his tongue and she moaned her approval with little breathy giggles he could pretend not to hear. If this was going to happen again, he didn’t need to remember every little detail. He could simply enjoy himself.
And that was why he became more and more sure that she was right about pleasure.
“Ouch!” Vegeta jerked back with a scowl, Bulma’s eyes already wide with remorse as she took her hands off of his shoulders, holding them to her chest.
“I thought you said you were better,” she whispered. High-pink suffused her cheeks in the flickering television light, her lashes fluttering as her chest rose and fell with each of her panted breaths. The zipper of her jumpsuit was now nearly to her navel. Her undershirt, as it turned out, didn’t go so far. Vegeta dragged his eyes back up to her face with a thick swallow.
“Some of the deeper wounds remain tender,” he admitted. “Just…touch me here.” He tapped the front of his chest.
“Fair game where you didn’t get hurt?” she asked, tentatively reaching out to place her palms on his chest. Ten fingertips dug into his shirt and his skin, jolting his blood to rush faster than it already was.
“Fair game,” Vegeta said. Bulma beamed up at him, wriggling further down on the couch so that her head could lay more comfortably on a pillow.
“I’m ready. Actually, no. I’m too warm.” She removed her hands from his chest to tug the sleeves down her shoulders, baring the skin there until the jumpsuit was no more than a pair of trousers with the shirtsleeves slung around her waist.
His groin ached so badly at the sight of her breasts spilling out of her top and her hair strewn over the pillow and the feeling of her hands traveling back up his chest that his hips bucked forward without thinking, nestling between her thighs as he groaned aloud.
“The movie isn’t over yet,” Bulma reminded him, giving his tank top a tug. “We have more time to kiss. Come on.”
“Is this what movies are for?” Vegeta asked dubiously, but lowered himself so that his elbows held his weight on either side of her arms, swallowed in the couch.
“Some might say so.”
“Perhaps I discredited human entertainment too soon.”
Her laugh, this close to his body, may as well have been an energy blast. He had to stop it before his feeble control slipped any further. Vegeta leaned down and smashed his mouth against hers, eating up her tiny gasp like ambrosia.
“You weren’t,” Bulma panted some time later, when his feet had completely left the ground and they were tangled on the couch in simulation of true coupling. “You weren’t this good at kissing when you - when we - the first time - ”
Around and around her mouth his tongue made its possessive path, tasting every inch of her skin that he dared. Much that he wanted to lick was obscured by her clothes. Vegeta gave a grunt, gripping her chin in his hand to tilt it to the side, allowing him better access to her throat. “Saiyans learn best under pressure,” he muttered into her collarbone.
“Am I pressuring you too much?”
He thought of the pain in his groin and the heat in hers, joined in a mockery of what he desired. “No,” he decided to say.
“Then why do you feel pressure?”
“If I wanted to talk, I wouldn’t be kissing you!” Vegeta snapped, teeth sinking into her earlobe for effect. She squirmed, but her whimper wasn’t one of pain. “Be quiet.”
It was a lesson he’d learned long ago: to shield himself with his own aggression, his own pride. It had worked enough to keep him alive.
Were he not so distracted by coaxing more of those moans from between Bulma’s lips with the fast-growing skill of his mouth and tongue, Vegeta might have wondered why he couldn’t have borne it if he tried to bring Bulma pleasure and failed. The answer would have been pride, of course. He sought to win his every battle, and every encounter with this woman felt like a new one.
If pleasure had a loser, he hadn’t learned it yet.

Dragon Ball Super 004
tfw it’s still not time for episode 97.
Okay, this episode roughly correspond to the part of Battle of Gods where Emperor Pilaf sneaks into Capsule Corp to rob the joint. But Toei set this version of the story on a cruise liner, so they had to explain how and Pilaf would know where to go and why he would even bother. I mean, if Bulma’s not home, that seems like a great time to rob her house.
And it’s possible that this episode is exactly why Toei set the whole thing at sea, because it demands a whole new story to get Pilaf and his crew into position. But this is all boring as fuck.
So here’s the deal. Trunks takes Goten on a tour through the ship, culminating in the secret room where the Bingo prizes are being kept. He even shows him the secret grand prize, which is all seven Dragon Balls. In other words, this is just like the movie, except Bulma has some ridiculous security system in place. And part of the system conceals the Dragon Balls from detection, so when Trunks opens it up...
... Pilaf briefly detects the Dragon Balls on a nearby cruise ship as it passes by. See, they’re in the area, because Pilaf has a silly treasure map, and he has his gang digging holes on this tiny island. There’s no treasure, their boat is full of holes, and they’re starving, but Pilaf rallies his troops to row out and intercept the Princess Bulma, since the Dragon Balls will solve all their problems.
As they approach, their boat sinks, and they get chased by a shark, until they all leap out of the water and cling to the hull like Spider-Man. Uh... this doesn’t make a lot of sense. I mean, it’s a cartoon, and these three are basically gag characters at this point, but if they can do stuff like this then why was the shark a problem at all? Also, they’re really anxious about their position, even though they shouldn’t be able to hang onto this sheer surface in the first place. I mean, Goten and Trunks notice them and toss down a ladder, but why should they need one? Just human fly your way up to the deck, folks.
Meanwhile, Bulma calls home and orders Vegeta to get out of the Gravity Room and attend her party. I should point out that I’m watching the dub for this, since this is the first time I’ve been able to experience the dub of Super. In this scene, Vegeta addresses this random lady as “woman”, and that almost feels like cheating. You call Bulma “woman”, Dub Vegeta! Well, now that I think about it, he kind of quit doing that after the Androids Saga, but the Vegebul side of the fandom has conditioned me to think that “woman” is this romantically charged term of endearment.
Meanwhile, Beerus is finally heading for King Kai’s planet, and King Kai shits a brick. He tries to convince Goku to leave, but he doesn’t realize that Goku is the one Beerus wants to meet. Episodes 3 and 4 have a lot of hand-wringing with the Kais about how dangerous it would be if Goku and Beerus met, except that’s all pointless because Beerus already knows about Goku and where to find him. So there’s nothing they can do about this, but Toei made sure to put plenty of scenes in this anime where they talk about the problem anyway.
One other thing. This show really, really makes me hate Beerus, at least in the early going. He’s actually a really cool character... in Battle of Gods. Here, his obsession with the Super Saiyan God is all he’s given to work with, so he gets a ton of screen time where he just gripes, eats, and prattles on about the Super Saiyan God. You come out of this wishing Goku would just fucking murder the guy, not in a cool way like with the past villains, but just to make Beerus shut up. And that’s not going to happen, so it’s all really unsatisfying.
Meanwhile... oh, wait, that’s all I’ve got. Well, I’ll say this for 1st quarter Dragon Ball Super, it’s a breeze to recap.

Cold Blooded
A Dragon Ball Horror Fic {Part 12}
☆☆☆
Not even a whole day is all it took, and goddamn was it a long day for Vegeta. Time was of the essence and gods knew how much longer they had until Frieza did anything to the Earth, and Vegeta be damned if another planet be killed under his watch by the likes of Frieza… The biggest waste of carbon life in the known universe.
Vegeta had a vendetta, for the sake of his race, and his woman, his eyes not leaving his lovers face, his fiance, his mate.. Bulma coulda sworn he watched him shed a tear. All the Z fighters were in attendance to help scout for the Dragon Balls. Words were left unspoken between the group. They haven't experienced a death so immediate in their lives as of recently. The most recent being several years and several fights ago.
Bulma came in and looked at the sullen princes back, he's cradling her like a baby.. Looking constantly at the woman that took his breath away. “Vegeta..? Vegeta, Goku is coming back now he has the last two. Everyones outside and ill walk with you.. shes my friend too.. been one for a long long time...” She muttered pushing the blonde locks from Carlies face, still teary eyed from finding her friend dead on the ground of her laboratory.
“He took her ring… He took it from her lifeless hand. Frieza is a monster.. And if he continues to breathe the same air of this universe ill make sure everyone he encounters, know hes a monster… the…” He turned to her and started walking back down the hallway, Bulma in tow and holding the 7 star ball in her hand. “You saw the camera footage did you…” Bulma asked, Vegeta remained silent.. He saw everything. To say he didnt feel pride in her to see her fight to her last breath would be a lie. Why did it have to be her.. Why didnt he stay with her… He blamed himself every step of the way. “She fought to her last breath… and she took her last breath into that god damned monsters mouth…” He growled adjusting his woman's corpse in his arms, she's shrouded in a blanket. Her head supported on his bicep so it wouldn't flop about seeing as though Frieza crushed it entirely flat. He didn't speak to anyone. The balcony was uncharacteristically quiet for the amount of people standing around. Bulma added the 5th dragon ball to the group and as she heard it clack, Goku instant transmissioned to Vegetas side, pat his shoulder and looked at Carlie, “I couldn't fly any longer, you needed these now.” The moment Goku returned with the final two he spoke up. Goku added Dragon Ball 6 and 7 to the pile and looked Vegeta in the eye in that same look Goku always gives.. But this time.. Much somber and understanding. “If it was ChiChi id be the same way…” The two Saiyans looked to the small dead human… “It's all you Vegeta. Floors all yours.” Goku pat his back and backed up abit, his excitable demeanor literally pissed Vegeta off to no end, there's a reason Vegeta even considered Kakarot a friend and this was that one reason. It’s now or never.
The balcony of Capsule Corp has now seen everything and summoning SHenron here was certainly not a first. A dead woman in the arms of the prince is a first for many. “Come forth mighty Shenron.” He asked watching the sky turn black and the Dragon snakes across the sky and looks down upon Vegeta. A glorious and frightening sight to behold.
“You have 3 Wishes… What is your first wish?” It bellows, its voice booming, Godlike. “I wish for Carlie to be alive again.. And without wounds of what happened.” He asked plainly looking down at her face. “Your wish has been granted… she will return to the land of the living shortly…” Vegeta sighs in relief, that wave of ease falls upon the group as Bulma wipes sweat from her brow. “You have 2 more wishes.”
Vegeta completely was besides himself.. 2 more wishes. He gulped hard. He considered his words carefully, “If it wasnt for me she would be alive… I wish for her nothing but happiness, even if im not there.” He sounded defeated. Like hes considering leaving her.. He hated thinking on it but he wanted to give the wish a shot. The dragon blinked and spoke, “Her wish was granted many years ago. She wished for a prince, success and happiness, all in one wish.” Vegeta was dumbstruck, her one wish to him was all 3 at once.. And she got that. Even if she was dead. “Now. What are your two wishes?”
The prince grinned. “Dragon, I wish Frieza lives the rest of his days knowing what he did to her.. And i hope it hurts him like hell.. Every waking moment of his miserable life.” He snarls. Shenrons head lowers closer to Vegeta’s view and speaks. “Your wish has been granted for the rest of his days; he will live with the scars she has given him. What is your final wish?” The mighty eternal dragon asked Vegeta, the dark sky swirling as the dragon prepared himself to return back to the center of the earth.
Vegeta grinned widely, “Make that tyrant unable to destroy the Earth. I wont let him destroy this planet.” HE growls viciously Carlies hand twitching slightly, Vegeta noticed this and looked down. “Your wishes have been granted, farewell.” The dragon announced and returned to his place in the center of the Earth releasing the sky of its complete darkness and returning the mid afternoon suns rays to bestow themself upon the sorrowful prince and the rest of the z fighters. Carlie squinted her eyes and grimaced only to open them and feel her neck and stomach, shocked and face once again filled with color. “Vegeta…! What..? WHere? I was just…-” She stammered holding onto Vegeta, Bulma ran over to her partner and kissed her forehead “No more questions alright? Your back and thats all that matters. Dont worry about your lab ill take care of that, Car.” She winked and made the blonde scientist smile and blush.
Goku rubbed the back of his neck and pat Vegetas back. “Oh yea i shoulda told you about her wish to have all that back there should I hehe!” Vegeta rolled his eyes and scoffed “Quit your babbling idiot.. Its not like she wouldnt have had all three of those wishes WITHOUT the Dragon Balls.. We were destined to meet, end of discussion.” The prince smiled and met foreheads with her feeling the warmth of her face against his made him feel alright one again.
Two spiteful wishes for the price of her coming back was worth it. Worth bringing his princess back. The Emperor on the other hand; was suffering on the outreaches of the solar system upon his ship, his once pristine white membrane tainted by deep scars in the form of golden long scratches raking in every which way. Making it look like he lost a long arduous fight with a barbed wired fence. He looked like hell and he was raising it substantially upon his ship screaming and cursing the woman who brought such a disgusting parting gift to him. The emperor fell to his knees and looked up at a wall that was completely monochromatic. His reflection was telling. The broken tooth, the long scratch on his chin down his sternum. The ones that caked his whole chest. Tainted in golden veins. He would be perfect if they werent there, but alas. Here we have the Emperor. Shedding his first tear. For a brilliant young Earthling he fell hopelessly inlove with, one who's betrothed to the one race he swore to exterminate but failed miserably. To the Warrior Prince nonetheless. This is a reminder of Frieza’s biggest failure… and that ring in his hand felt like molten hot metal, but he cant take himself to part with it at all, its too much for him.. Like he misses her with all of his being.
He in a frustrated fury looked over this ring to inspect why it burnt him so harshly.. Surely there has to be a logical reason. He read the inscription. “Strengths in our Blood.”

I was watching the abridged Broly movie and then started playing Xenoverse 2 and then this happened.
Trunks knew this was bound to happen eventually. The moment he heard that there was a small group of three time patrollers going around Conton City borderline harassing other patrollers simply because they decided to have a villain as their mentors, he knew a physical fight was bond to break out. He was just praying that he could make it from the Time Nest to the Mushroom Desert before things got too out of hand. He didn’t because once he was close enough to get a good look at the area it was obvious that a considerable amount of damage had been done.
“Shit!” Trunks exclaimed when he saw that it was one of Perfect Cells students who was involved in the fight and that Cell had decided to join in with at least three Cell Jr.s in the fay as well “shit, shit, shit!” He just kept chanting that until he landed “all of you need to stop this right now!”
Despite the fact that everyone obviously heard him and knew he was there the fighting continued with only Cells students looking relieved to see him, appearing to have not been involved with the fight as they were standing off to the side holding one of the Cell Jrs. This wasn’t really much of a surprise to Trunks since Cell was well Cell and he knew that the group of patrollers that were probably responsible for this harbored animosity towards him for being married to a monster.
“Really now?” Cell chuckled, kicking the shortest member of the group into the side mountain “is that all you got?”
“You bastard” the only female of the group growled, firing several ki blasts at Cell that he was very easily able to deflect them as well as throw the patroller when she charged him
Whether it was intentional or not all of these attacks were headed in Trunks direction and though he was able to dodge almost all of the blasts, one managed to hit him in his side and it distracted him just enough for the patroller to be thrown into him almost immediately after, taking him down to the ground with the patroller laying on top of him. Suddenly they all felt an un-Godly surge of power that was powerful enough to radiate throughout the entire city. All who were involved in the fight knew what the source of this power was and they felt ice shoot through their veins, the Cell Jr’s running to hide behind their father as Cell moved to guard his student, which Trunks had to give him some credit for since he seemed to care for his student to a certain degree. Everyone knew what was going to happen next but it still didn’t give them enough time to move out of the way of the enormous green ki blast that was heading their way. Once the dust settled and everyone was able to regain their bearings they all looked up to see the massive figure of Broly looming over them, looking ready to murder every single one of them.
“Broly stop!” Trunks said, quickly moving between his husband and the others
Trunks' sudden presence seemed to be enough to snap Broly out of his murderess rage just enough for him to be able to regain some control over his rage, but it was obvious he still wanted to rip everyone around them to shreds. Just by glancing at Cell Trunks could tell that he wanted to say something snarky, he wanted to mock Trunks about being a damsel in distress, about how the poor princess needed his husband to swoop in and save him, but he knew that that would only agitate the legendary more and he was one of the few people Cell knew for sure he couldn’t win against.
“Just calm down, honey” Trunks said gently, resting his hands on his husbands forearms “everything’s ok”
This was enough to get Broly to visibly relax, and at least slip out of his legendary from down to his super saiyan, as the two floated down to the ground but it didn’t last long as the leader of the agressing patrollers mumbled something that the Legendary was obviously able to hear, his attention immediately being pulled away from his wife; his murderous glare returning and focused on the group.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey!” Trunks gently cupped his husband's face in his hands making him look back at him softly saiyang “it’s ok. I’m ok”
By this time a considerable sized group had gathered around them, consisting mainly of other time patrollers along with the Supreme Kai of Time and Elder Kai; hell they’d even managed to draw out Turles and Lord Slug.
“What is going on here?” Elder Kai asked
“Kaleaf, what happened here?” Chronoa asked Cells student
“Well” Kaleaf started, setting down the Cell Jr they’d been holding “I came here to train with Cell and these guys started harassing us and it just devolved from there”
“And Broly is here because?” Chronoa asked looking a bit afraid of what the answer might be
“I got caught in the middle of the fight” Trunks said feeling his husband start to tens up again
Wrapping both his arms around one of Brolys, gently rubbed his bicep in an attempt to help calm him down again “and he must’ve seen what happened”
“Alright” Chronoa said looking at the group of patrollers that had started this “I’ll handle this from here. You take Broly home and calm him down”
“Right” Trunks said lowering his hold so he was holding his husbands hand “come on”
Reluctantly Broly did as his wife had asked of him and they flew off for the Capsule Corp Transfer bot, Broly sticking as close to Trunks as he possibly could without being in the way, his sheer presence alone forcing anyone who happened to be flying near them scattering out of their path, hell there were even some people on the ground who didn’t want to be beneath them, but it didn’t stop Vegeta or Piccolo from watching them closely as the two flew past them. Activating the transfer bot, Trunks typed a code into its keypad so the bot would send them to a section of Capsule Corps that was inaccessible to the other time patrollers. Getting Broly home worked so much quicker than Trunks could’ve anticipated, the waves of pure rage that had been radiating off his husband having stopped though he was still holding his super saiyan form; as he scanned the room for any signs of potential danger. Once he was certain that their home was safe Broly scooped up Trunks and threw the half-saiyan over his shoulder.
“Hey!” Trunks laughed, hitting his husband in the shoulder blade “put me down”
Broly's response was an amused grunt as he stared walking down the hall towards their room.
“Hi, honey” Bulma said stepping out of the lab to greet them, having been drawn out by the larger saiyans footsteps, not thinking much about how Broly was carrying her child “how were your days”
“Well you know” Trunks said, Broly having moved so that mother and son could more easily speak to each other “a fight broke out and I got caught in the middle of it and I had to get Broly home otherwise he would’ve killed somebody”
“But you’ve gotten caught in the middle of fights before haven’t you?”
“Yeah, but Cell wasn’t involved in those” Trunks said getting a soft ‘ah’ from his mother
“Well” Bulma said walking past the two “I’ll come and get you when dinners ready then”
“Thanks mom” Trunks said as Broly started for their room again
Once they got there Broly tossed Trunks onto the bed and would’ve jumped on after him, but the last time he did that he broke the bed frame and they had to move the mattress to the floor until it was fixed.
So as carefully as he could Broly crawled onto the bed getting settled in, his back resting against the headboard legs criss-crossed in-front of him, before pulling Trunks into his lap, wrapping his arms around the others waist and burying his nose into the lavender hair before him. Chuckling a bit Trunks relaxed back into his husband's embrace.
“You wanna watch a movie?” Trunks asked, grabbing the remote to his T.V.
“Sure” Broly murmured lowly into Trunks hair
“Any preferences?” Trunks asked turning on the TV
“No” Broly said finally changing back into his base form

@cxpsuleprincess
Bulma and Nappa were two very important people in Vegeta’s life - presently and in the past, respectively. Yet neither of them had ever met in person until now. Bulma had seen the bald brute via the news broadcast and Fortuneteller Baba’s crystal ball that fateful day the Saiyans arrived on Earth for the dragon balls. But that was at least more than a decade ago.
Coincidentally, Nappa has also has seen Bulma before through the giant crystal ball Hell had for some reason. He only knew bits and pieces about her, and her relationship with Vegeta. Nothing substantial, and yet on his good days in Hell, he felt grateful she was there for the prince in his stead. On his bad days, he felt angry that his stupid mistakes, and Vegeta’s cruel decision made it so they could never meet.
Yet here they were staring at each other in awkward silence. Vegeta was nowhere to be found at the moment, so unless he told her about his presence, Nappa might have looked like an uninvited ghost from the unpleasant part of the past. Didn’t help that he had the halo over his head that indicated that he was still a spirit, even though he had a physical form.
Did she even know who he was?
She’s one of Kakarrot’s friends, so...she must have heard something, maybe?
There’s no way Vegeta ever told her about him. Ever explained who he was, how long he had been involved in the prince’s life. That would mean that he was more than a tool to him. He knew that wasn’t true.
He needed to say something, anything at this point to break the silence.
Clearing his throat, he mumbled, “Vegeta invited me in...” The statement was delivered with a strange amount of timidness for a man of his stature and build. Especially considering his despicable actions when he was alive.

And here I am again :D. Ok before starting where I left I would like to say that it hit me yesterday that since Bulma (and thus her whole family) is an alien here, there is no Capsule or Capsule Corps on Earth yet. I decided about that a long time ago but I just now realized that it meant no capsule in Og DB either lol.
So I'm correcting that now. You can now imagine Vegeta traveling in a multi-pupose vehicule (like that Airplane/Submarine Bulma, Krillin and Goku take in the Red Ribbon Arc) which is carrying behind a big ass luxury caravan or something (which I also imagine are all floating since it would make them fit for all landscape which would be Vegeta priority).
Anyway back to the story :D
So our duo, and their stalker Raditz, arrive in a village where the Dragon Ball is supposed to be. At first glance the village seems to be abandoned. Until ChiChi does pretty much what Goku did in the manga. AkA she smelled that the villager were still here and just broke into a random house.
What's interesting here is that I think Goku and ChiChi both do this out of ignorance on how that action could be harmful to someone, but that ignorance come from 2 different places. For Goku it was because of his utter isolation in the mountain. And for ChiChi it's because her Dad has been raiding people's homes for her whole life on Earth, so she's so used to it that she never questioned the morality of it all. She doesn't think it's good or righteous, she just never took the time (or had the idea) to question it.
Don't get me wrong ChiChi is pure of heart and she could ride Kint'un/Flying Nimbus but I truly believe that empathy/compassion/sympathy (or even simply consideration for the people you don't know) do not come naturally to the Saiyans. That's just not how their brain work. They of course can learn to do it, which make a saiyan who decide to show consideration for a stranger even more powerful in my eyes, because it's something, someone they put effort to become, not just something they were born with. But point is, to learn something you generally need to be taught. And when it comes to compassion well... Ox-king really wasn't the best teacher (at least up until that point in time).
Where I'm going with all this is that ChiChi is a good girl... A good girl that sometimes do evil things due to her upbringing xD.
Like right now in our story, where she trespassed into terrified villagers's home, got an axe in the head for her trouble and then had to be hold back by Vegeta to beat up those villager as retribution xDD. She'll learn eventually of course but it's not for right now.
For now Vegeta barely managed to stop her from going on her rampage. Granted the villager actually apologized for the axes so ChiChi stopped her assault but she was still in a bad mood. She will not be of help for anybody. Which means that Vegeta is alone into the negotiations to get the Dragon Ball. It shouldn't have been a problem really because the villager don't really care about the orange shiny orb that is somewhere around one of their house, and someone did nearly murder a girl. But still this task require the bare minimum of courtesy to achieve. Vegeta has negative points in courtesy.
Normally that wouldn't be an unsolvable problem for him coz he has money and do not hesitate to buy people into tolerating his rudeness with it. But here it doesn't really work out because it turns out that the village is frequently getting blackmailed and robbed by the same guy over and over again. So if they accepted the money it would be gone by the end of the day anyway.
The villagers do want a deal, and it would be for ChiChi to defeat him if possible. The situation has gotten so bad, they are afraid they're going to starve if this go on. ChiChi still in a bad mood and still resentful is having none of it. Vegeta is having none of it either. Asking such a task from a young princess just after trying to take her life does NOT sit right with him.
And so screaming match ensues.
Ok this is getting long so I'm gonna cut it there but I am not done for today ! Next part of the Oolong species swap AU coming soon !
Hello would you like a rant about one of those :
_An AU I have where Goku is an earthling and ChiChi a saiyan (Og DB version and/or DBZ version)
_An AU where Vegeta was sent to Earth instead of Goku, but Goku is still very much the Main Character (beside I hyperfocus a lot on the Son Family so the Au is mainly on how, against all odds, this family still managed to find each other)
_About a song that I think would fit GoChi pretty well :D (the song in question being "Je te Donne" by Jean-Jacques Goldman but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't know it since most of it is in french and it is pretty old :(, I'll do a translation if you do want to hear about it :) )
_About how Goku was a smart kid, it's not his fault confused "stupid" and "was taught very little basic knowledge" :((
_About how, while I like the first telefilm on Bardock and prefer the personality they gave him, I largely prefer DB Minus as the story on how Goku got sent to Earth and my frustration with the telefilm being mostly used as the reference (though I can downplay that last part if you want). As a bonus I can also expand on how and why I also prefer the manga version of DB Minus over what they did in the DB Super Broly movie
?
I just discovered your blog and I love it :DDD. I am also very glad to found another person who like Og Dragon Ball more than Dbz :DD. You're amazing and I hope you're having a good day/night :]
Yes but I’m bad at making choices so any one you want lol

I picture like, teen Bulla having all the pride of Vegeta AND Bulma combined. Someone tries to hit on her she's immediately yelling about how they're unfit to even look at her, the princess of Saiyans and Heiress of Capsule Corp. She huffs in annoyance before knocking them away with a tiny blast. In contrast, Pan is way nicer but also liable to forget her strength when excited and has inhereted her parents perspective on what's cool. Pan also finds the fact Bulla has a tail incredibly interesting.

Bardock, King Vegeta's top advisor and closest friend is sent on a diplomatic mission. His pod malfunctions forcing him to crash land on the nearest planet, Earth. After seeing the crash, Dr. Briefs finds and helps him return home. Witnessing how intelligent and technologically advanced the Briefs are, Bardock suggests a partnership between Capsule Corp and Vegetasei.
In exchange for their capsule technology, the Briefs are treated as royalty while on Vegetasei. Bardock's young sons and a young Prince Vegeta are responsible for protecting the new princess, Princess Bulma. There's an obvious connection between the Prince and Princess right from the beginning, even if it's an unpleasant one. As they grow up, their feelings towards one another go from tolerance to something more. If the Prince does not chose a mate by the time he turns 20, the Queen and King will be first to choose one for him. Vegeta must swallow his pride and admit his feelings for Bulma or risk losing her forever.
Things get complicated when Frieza learns of Bulma's intelligence and what she's capable of. What will that mean for the young Saiyans and the Princess from Earth?

@muses-of-the-memory
Now that he is a father of two children in the Briefs family, Vegeta, the Prince of Saiyans was taking care of Bulla, by doing some of his fair share. "If Kakarot sees me like this, I'll never be able to live this spoiling my daughter down." He grumbled.

@spiderben2011 continued from here
“I appreciate it, but I do not wish to endanger any of you. I can handle Ultron, but I need to try finding him before…” Viv stops when she heard some noises outside. “What is that?”
Walking outside, the sounds of people screaming could be heard. People running away from something, followed by a loud explosion erupting from the city.
“Ultron,” said Viv figuring it must be him.
She soon flies off to the city, where she sees the people running away in terror. The police opening fire at a machine. A machine with a silver colored body, glowing red eyes, and glowing mouth. The weapons the police used wasn’t working, as Ultron simply laughed.
“Humans. Even in other universes, your all still the same. A violent and destructive species. One that needs to be exterminated for the sake of peace,” said Ultron as he prepares to attack, when Viv appeared to attack him. “You! So, you came here after all.”
“Ultron! You will leave the people of this world alone and surrender. You can’t defeat me,” said Viv as her hands begin to glow red.
“Still trying to play hero like your parents. Too bad like them, you value the life of these worthless creatures than your own,” Ultron fires a concussion blast towards some nearby humans, which caused Viv to fly over to block it.
But she couldn’t create a powerful enough shield, so she gets send flying through the building and to the other side. Ultron flies over and fires another concussion blast down towards Viv. Hitting her and creating a small crater. Ultron soon fires another and another to try destroying the Synthezoid.
Pan, Bulma and Trunks had heard an explosion outside of Capsule Corporation and they saw the villain that Viv was talking about, Ultron, and he was attacking the police force who didn’t seem to stand a chance against him.
“Guess that’s our cue to stop this mechanical menace.” Trunks spoke as he turns into a Super Saiyan and appears behind Ultron. “HEY ULTRON!” He shouted as Trunks began to move his hands and arms rapidly to build up an attack and Pan charges up an attack too.
“Burning Attack!” He shouted firing a Ki Blast from his hands against Ultron.
“Take this!” Pan shouted firing her Maiden’s Rage Ki Blast wave at Ultron. Feeling something was wrong, Goten had flew to the sky to see what’s going on in West City.
Closed RP w/muses-of-the-memory
She didn’t know where she was at or how she ended up here. What she remembers is in bits and pieces. But she knew she was somewhere not familiar. A city she didn’t recognize and technology she was unfamiliar with.
She looked around to see she’s in somewhere new. Somewhere different than back home. She tried to call her friends, but no luck. Not even getting any service on her phone.
Her best chance is to find the authorities around here and hope they can help. She just happen to find them, in the middle of a standoff with some criminals. Holding people as hostages and look ready to open fire.
