Vegeta stood silently and expressionless. He watches as his daughter Bra is training against her older brother Trunks. He watches very carefully each hit and each block. He never thought she would show any real interest to fight. In her younger years she never asked to spar. Though she did learn to fly. Yet, she soon learned that, that would not be enough. Bra's sudden interest to fight came from an unexpected and terrible event......... Not to long from her now present training perhaps a few months, Bra and Bulma were attacked. Both Vegeta and Trunks were gone from their home. The capsule corporation is well known for it's hi- tech robotics and electronics. Even a few gizmos could be worth thousands. With this in mind two heavily armed thieves broke into the capsule corporation. Having lived years with two super sayians, Vegeta and Trunks have caused Bulma to not keep the main alarms on at night. She didn't think she needed it any more with her son husband around!! The two thieves disconnected what ever alarm that was in the house, therefore the thieves got through the main part of the house undetected. Mean while Bulma was showing Bra how to fix the new hard drive into the main computer.Bulma saw a flashing light against the wall. Though the main switch was off Bulma still had other alarms. She knew some one had came into the her home. But who?? The computer indicated that the intruder was in sector 12. The storage room??? Bulma wondered if it was Vegeta or Trunks? She and Bra entered the room.Bulma turned on the lights while saying both names. Soon both her and her daughter were approached from the back with lazar guns. They were told to "be still or fry"!! Both women froze as they felt the cold guns in their side. Bulma was not going down so easy. She turned around with an alarming speed and kicked the g0un right out of the man's hands. She in turn, caught the gun and pointed it at him. The crooks were awestruck. Living with Vegeta had it's advantages! Still the other crook still held Bra with a gun. Bra flew up quickly and tried to get her mother and fly away while the two crooks stood shocked. Frighted they shot one time, it hits Bulma. They panicked at sight of Bra flying and fled. Bulma was bleeding badly and was fading fast. Bra called the hospital and they came quickly. Bra left a note behind telling her father and brother to meet tem at the nearest county hospital. At the hospital Bulma was rushed into the emergency room and had to be operated on immediately. Her wounds were stabilized and the doctor said she wound need round the clock care and medication. She did loose a lot of blood and had to be closely wacthed.with this the doctor left. Trunks: What the hell happened?? Why is mother like this?? Bra: They were people who brook in, crooks. Mama Thought it was either of you two at first. They shot, it hit mama.... Trunks: Your alright?? Bra: Forget about me it's mama that, oh god it's all ,my fault. Finally Vegata speaks, he has been quiet with his arms folded in the classic pose. Vegeta: Your fault you said, explain. Now. Bra: Because even mama managed to get the gun away from the man, she kicked the gun away and turned it on him. If I could have only done the same......... Vegeta: I don't know what to tell you Bra.. Trunks: Father, wait we should have been there instead of training, so far way from the home. Bra: LOOK AT MAMA, I'm half sayain AND SHE HAD MORE DEFENSE THAN ME!! ALL I COULD DO WAS FLY AWAY WITH HER...... YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BABY SIT ME AND MOM AND STAY CLOSE ALL THE TIME. I'M PATHETIC!!!!! With those words she flew out the hospital window... Trunks went go after his sister Vegeta grabbed his son's arm and stopped him from going after her. Vegeta: Let her go. She's going to be like this for a while. Trunks: I.... I guess you are right. Vegeta walks over to his badly injured wife. He raises the sheets to examine her wounds carefully. Anger flares through him, if they were still a Vegeta planet the men who did this would endure a faith worse then death!! How dare they do this?? To attack his mate the would be the rightful queen of planet Vegeta!! Trunks: Father you need to talk to Bra.You can't make her think this is her fault. Vegeta: If you think that I'm going to tell her that she is wrong. I'm not. She is half sayian and half human. A hybrid. Much more powerful that she could ever had been If she were a pure sayain. If she how to control just a fraction of the power she would be almost invincible to a mere human armed with a gun!!! Your power is more than just power, it's a part of your culture your heritage. It's not directly Bra's fault, yet if she had at least the same defense as Bulma did she would not be in this bed, almost dead. Trunks: I see, you know what? In one of those rare cases you are right father, but what a terrible way to learn. Wait.. What are you doing the doctor said.... Vegeta: I know what he said. Your mother's technology for healing if far more advanced. Bra knows how to operate them, she will heal much quicker there. Come open the window. Trunks just nods in agreement with his father. Vegata disconnects everything carefully and wrap his unconscious wife in the blankets. They fly home, Vegata with Bulma in his arms. As soon as they reach home. Vegeta has Bra hook her up to the machinery. Within hours her vital signs grow stronger, her heart rate is steady and normal she is doing better. She has yet to open her eyes and speak. She is still unconscious. Bra cares for her each day as Vegata seems to watch her day and night. Trunks brought by roses and placed it by her bedside. Vegeta always wondered why female humans took such sentimental value in those dead weeds!! Day and night, night and day, Vegeta can be seen with his arms folded waiting in the corner oft the room.Blankly staring at his mate. It has been a week now and finally she opens her eyes................... Bulma: Bra ?? Vegeta moves to her side. Vegeta:Bra is fine. You were in the hospital. I chose to take you home. You should heal quicker here. Who did this to you? Bulma:Oh, common crooks, Vegeta: I would love to have a word with them. Bulma: Yha, im sure you would right?? Ouch!! Still the pain hurts so much. I guess I shouldn't try to move. I feel so cold. (She reaches to touch Vegata's face with her hand, he leans closer,and kneels toward the bed so she can touch his face) I don't want to be alone. Vegeta: You won't be alone. I will stay with you then. You know, Bra thinks what happened is her fault... she told me you managed to get the gun away. No doubt you are becoming more aggressive cause of me. Anyway, she told me that she couldn't do the same cause of lack of her defense. Bulma: I know it's late but bring her too me, please. Vegeta exits the medical room to get his daughter Bra. She is exited at the news and runs ahead of her father to the medical room. Bra:You are awake that is great!!!( She hugs her mom gently as she can) I'm so, so, sorry. (Teras began to flow) It's my fault... Bulma: Why would you think that!! It's not your fault that those men came in their. Bra: I should have defended you. Bulma: You listen to me, those bastards, did this not you!!! Vegeta: She should know how to fight. Bulma: Vegeta, stop it what the hell is wrong with you!!! Bra:He IS RIGHT MAMA. (With this Bra exits the room) Vegeta: You must not baby her, she is twenty years olds.She should know how. Bulma: But it's not her fault, damn it Vegeta do you know what this can do to her?? Talk to her now. Tell her it's not her fault. Vegeta: Fine I will do it tomorrow. Bulma: No, NOW! VEGETA: Women even half dead you are still a pain, I will do as you ask but I'm not staying with you. Bulma: Whatever!!! Just make sure you switch me on the bigger medical bed, Because we can't fit on the one I am on now. Make sure you attach my I.V. . VEGETA: I HATE YOU SOMETIMES WOMAN!! Bulma just smiles knowing that Vegeta hates it when she tells him to do something that he don't want to do. He hates it when he says he won't do something yet she knows it's an empty threat. Over the years she has learned to read his actions well. Vegeta talks to Bra and tells her the importance of battle and power. He tells her with a fake tone that's it not her fault. Yet he lets her know she should know how to fight as well as she can walk. He returns to the medical room. He disconnects the I.V., just like she said to do, and picks he up and places her on the biggest medical bed. He then reattaches the I.V., he puts a small amount of painkiller into the I.V. He lays down beside her and wacthes her sleep. He slept beside her untill morning. IT'S MORNING...... VEGETA:(He kisses his still sleeping mate on her still lips) She is still sleeping. Good. (Bra enters) Bra: Father can you train me now, I want to learn Vegeta: Very good, yet I will not train you. Your brother will, and when you reach his level then you can spar with me. Only then. Bra: Thank you. ( she leaves) Trunks walks in..... (to be continued...)
