Chapter Two
"Why does Vegeta want everything that I find? He must be power crazy..."
"I heard that!" He yelled from upstairs. Bulma was working in her workshop that was in the basement. She was carefully examining the token.
Suddenly, a devastating quake shook the Earth, and the coin fell off of the table. It fell into Bulma’s hand, as she was saving it from being smashed.
"Huh? What’s happening?" Bulma started to glow. Her hair turned purple, and it grew all the way down to the ground. She developed large muscles on her arms and legs, and a tail sprouted from her rear-end.
"What’s happening? VEGETA!!" She ran all the way upstairs, to discover Vegeta staring at the door, waiting for her to come up.
"Bulma! You... You touched the coin, didn’t you?"
"It was that Earthquake! The coin fell into my hands! and then my hair grew really long, and it turned purple, and then I got these HUGE muscles!" Vegeta couldn’t believe his eyes. His very own wife, who was an Earthling turned into a Super Saiyan Level Five!

"There’s more androids???" Rini nodded her head.
"Why didn’t I know this?"
"I don’t know. Maybe because you’re not the Trunks from the future."
"Yeah, that would make sense..." Trunks paused. "How do you know my mother?" He asked. Rini got out of the water and sat on a rock.
"Bulma was my teacher. She taught me how to take apart a TV, a microwave, and, she taught me how to build a time machine. She also set up the stage for my band." Rini put her boots back on.
"Why didn’t you just build your own time machine, then?" Trunks asked curiously.
"She only taught me how to build the structure of it. When we were getting to the time shifting part, she had to stop."
"Why did she stop?"
"She... She..." Rini paused. "Umm, I don’t want to talk about it."
"Tell me now." Trunks said sternly. Rini bit her lower lip and looked at him.
"Fine. In the future, she touched a coin that made her become a Super Saiyan Level Five. Bulma was even stronger than Kakarot, so she had to help with the androids. Android twenty-five and twenty-six killed her."
"But, I didn’t think that Dr. Gero made any more androids after himself."
"He didn’t."
"Who did?"
"His name is Dr. Bellum."
"Dr. Bellum?"
"Yes."
"Did he use Dr. Gero’s method of building the androids?"
"No."
"What model did he use?"
"It’s too difficult to explain with words."
"Who gets killed?"
"Well, Kakarot, Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu are all killed by the androids."
"Who survives?"
"Gohan and Krillin almost kick the bucket, but they both survived. And... You... You get killed, trying to protect Bulma."
"I get killed?"
"Yes, unfortunately."
"What happened?"
"Android twenty-six fired a huge blast, and... You get killed... Trying to protect Bulma."
"So, I die, and after I tried to save my mother, she gets killed anyways?"
"Yup. Basically." Trunks was silent for a moment.
"We have to get that coin away from my mom."
********
"Mom! Don’t touch the coin!" Trunks and Rini ran into the house, only to discover that she already had.
"Oh, man. Bulma, you went through some major changes." Said Rini. Bulma looked puzzled.
"Do I... Know you?" She asked. Rini smiled.
"Well, I know you, but you don’t know me. I’m from the future." She said.
"Like Trunks?" Asked Bulma. Rini nodded.
"Bulma, there’s more androids." Vegeta’s eyes grew wide.
"There’s more?" He asked. Rini nodded. "We already fought the androids!" He added.
"There’s more. A man named Dr. Bellum created androids twenty-five and twenty-six. I killed twenty-two, twenty-three, and twenty-four. But these two were too strong for me." She said. Bulma gulped.
"More?! No! I went through enough with just the first six! This time, we’re going to beat them. All of them!" She yelled, triumphantly.
"These androids are much stronger. They can annihilate whole planets, much like Frieza. They are even more ruthless and evil than any other enemy you’ve faced. They’re pure evil." Bulma looked puzzled.
"Really?"
"Yeah. But, Bulma, there’s one thing I wanted to ask you... If it’s not too much trouble, could you teach me about the time shifting part on a time machine?" Asked Rini, as she rolled up the sleeves of her Capsule Corp. jacket.
"Sure! Let’s go to my workshop." Rini and Bulma ran down the stairs. Vegeta looked at Trunks, who’s face was red.
"Why are you blushing like that?" Trunks looked nervous.
"No reason."
"Tell me..."
"No, really, it’s nothing." Vegeta grew very angry.
"Don’t make me do this, Trunks." He said.
"Do what?"
"Let’s step outside!" Vegeta grabbed Trunks by his jacket, and pulled him outside.
"Big Bang!" He yelled. Trunks drew his sword and deflected the blast.
"Tell me now!"
"No!"
"Big Bang!"
"VEGETA, STOP IT!" Bulma ran and jumped in front of the blast. She went down.
"Oops." Trunks glared at his father.
"DAD! How could you just sit there like nothing happened?! You just hurt your own wife!" He said. Vegeta realized this, and then he kneeled down next to her. Looking at her lifeless body, he clenched his fists in anger.
"Dad... She’ll be fine. All she has to do-"
"Trunks, shut your trap! I don’t want to hear it right now!" He screamed. Trunks clamped his mouth shut with his hand. Rini walked over to Vegeta, and she put her hand on his shoulder.
"Vegeta... She’ll be fine. I know you don’t want to talk about this right now, but really... She will be fine. I guarantee it. This happened in the future. Bulma will be well again in a few days. All you have to do is put her in bed, and let her rest."
"Vegeta..." She whispered. He looked at her, but didn’t say anything. "I’m fine..." She said, wobbling while standing up. She shook it off in no time.
"Gee, how sweet, Dad. Nice way to show that you care about Mom." Said Trunks. Vegeta just glared at him, and then walked back into the house.
