?Here you are,? said the man. ?Welcome to the Dante barracks, led by King Vegeta and Brolli!?
?Did you say King Vegeta??
?Yes, do you know him personally?? he asked her.
?Do I? My father?? she paused. Why was she telling someone she did not know her business? Know one really had to know did they? ?Just kiddin? she told him. ?Anyway thanks for bringing me here. Let me get settled in, know my unit n stuff.? He gave her a bizarre look.
Why is she acting weird? Don?t tell me?
?You?re not nervous are you?? he asked her.
She replied. ?Know, not at all. When you have power like my own, you have nothing to fear. Don?t let this cute face deceive you.? Her bold facial expression turned into a serious one. ?I cannot lie to you though. There may be others here who can transform. Against them, my powers are useless; however, that does not discourage me. Besides, battles are won through thinking. I?ll do whatever it takes to ensure Dante?s victory, whatever it takes.? The Dante scout gazed at her in amazement, charmed by her will, as well as her beauty. ?You alright?? she asked him. ?Did my speech inspire you?? she wondered. Why else would he be gazing in awe? Her beauty?
?Yes. We need more people like you here. The Generals do not know how lucky they are for having you here.?
She smiled. ?Please, enough flattery.?
?I?m serious.?
?Thank you very much,? she replied. ?Let me check out the rest of them.?
?Surely, you need to know who you?re working with,? he told her. He seemed too experienced to be a scout, but measuring his power to her own, the girl was stronger. Alternatively, could he be compressing his energy? It did not matter that much. They were in the same army anyway.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It only took a mere amount of seconds due to teleportation, to arrive at the castle known as Heartforged Keep. It seemed she were not the only one baffled by her surroundings.
Oh well, I?ll have to get used to it. I?ll be here for a loooong while.
?TO THE DINING HALL? boomed a voice. His speech was not only loud, but also influential because everyone trotted to said location. Could he be one of the two generals? If not a lieutenant. He had to be one of the two. These people would not answer to just anyone, the teen was sure of it She decided to play sheep and follow the rest. Besides, she was hungry.
People brushed past her, not caring she was a female. Why would they care? Why would a lady sign up for a war? No, only a courageous warrior would do such a thing. She was a lady, a young one regardless. People continued to brush past her, others even barged into her but she did not ground like the others. ?Christ,? said a soldier who had collided into her. ?What are you made of?? The reason he asked is that due to the outcome of their collision, he had fallen. It was not the girl?s fault that he was in such a hurry to eat like the others.
She held out her hand to help him up, but he refused to take it. ?No way, I?m not going to be helped by a woman,? he spat.
?Are you sure? With my speed I can get you your roast beef a lot quicker.? He thought about it.
Mmmmmmm, roast beeeef.
He wiped a little trail of drool from the side of his mouth. His pride would deny him of his desire. ?I said NO,? he shouted, rising to his feet. He glared at her. Her return was a plain one. ?We are all soldiers of Dante. Shouldn?t we be helping out one another??
?I already told you, I do not need you help,? he continued, as the two continued their way to the dining hall. She smiled, and then sprinted away from him, showing off the difference between the twos speed. She was hoping she could still convince him he needed her help, but it only made him squeeze his face even tighter. It seemed these people were different from her. None of them were joyful like her. As a matter of fact, they were the opposite, uptight.
She arrived in the hall, in the middle of one of the General?s speeches, or was it the end? ?Enjoy this night. You?ll need your strength.? Yep, he was done. She had definitely arrived late, all because of a fool who refused her help. The soldiers made all sorts of sounds, as they dug away into their meals. Bulma glanced over to a table placed high on a Plateau. The only person she knew among them was her father-in-law. Would he recognise her youthful face? He had too.
She began her walk to the table. ?Halt,? said a voice. Ironically enough, she did just that. ?Where do you think you are heading??
?To the head table!? Was it not obvious where she was heading?
?You are not authorized to do so without permission!?
?Do I have your permission then?? She was not even aware that she did not even need his permission. He was a solider like her, but felt the need to act as if he was a big shot. ?NO,? he answered.
?Then forgive me, she said, stepping past him without a second thought. He held onto her arm. She glanced downwards at the hand, which held a body part of her own. ?If I were you I?d let go of my arm,? she threatened.
?Or what?? he wondered.
?I?ll give you to the count of five. Five?four?? He laughed but she never. She continued her countdown. Little did the girl know that he was only testing her. General Joy had her eyes on the girl ever since she arrived at the barracks. She questioned her, believing the girl was too compassionate. Simply put, she believed Bulma was not military material.
The woman looked on from the high table, while drinking her wine. ?Three?two?If you think I?m bluffing, just wait till I finish counting.?
?You are bluffing. A girl like you does not have the guts to even harm a fly!?
?One. The girl held onto his arm, and then spun her body around. She placed the soldiers arm behind his back, followed by a knee to his spin. ?AAAAAAARRRGGHH? roared the male soldier in agony. She pushed him from behind, to the ground. Standing over him, she turned to the rest who had their eyes glued on her. ?This is what happens to those who take advantage of my good nature. Just so you know what to expect. You may all return to your meals now.? People still stared at her in amazement.
?I was wrong about you. I apologize Bulma,? came a feminine voice from the high table. The cyan haired girl turned her attention towards the voice. She walked up to the table seated with Generals and Lieutenants. Bejita Ou was amongst them. ?Wrong??
?Yes. My name is General Joy. I was not sure if you were military material, but was I wrong.?
?Did you say King Vegeta??
?Yes, do you know him personally?? he asked her.
?Do I? My father?? she paused. Why was she telling someone she did not know her business? Know one really had to know did they? ?Just kiddin? she told him. ?Anyway thanks for bringing me here. Let me get settled in, know my unit n stuff.? He gave her a bizarre look.
