where are you?"


Suddenly she winced! In front of her in the ground was the deep imprint of a huge foot!


"The monkey monster was here! Of course! There was a full moon last night! -Grandmother!"


The girl followed the tracks. Suddenly she saw something shapeless lying on the ground in front of her. She walked closer - and gave a startled scream!


"Grandmother!!"


The hermit was in her own blood, her body looked like something heavy had fallen on it! Something very difficult!


"Grandmother!" Vegeta sobbed and knelt next to the crushed body. Suddenly Son-Li's head began to move and she opened her eyes!

"Vegeta ...."


"O grandmother! That was the monkey monster, wasn't it? And I wasn't with you to protect you!"


"Don't cry, my little one! I'm ... sorry, but ... I can now ... no longer ... stay with you .... From now on you have to ... alone for yourself worry ... as I taught you! I ... I thought the day was still far away, but now ... my ... fate ... has overtaken me earlier ... if you need help ... .. go to the people in the ... village ... but never go ... at full ... moon ... out .... never..time .... do you hear .... mine Little one? "


"I promise you, grandmother! And when I'm big enough, I'll fight this monkey monster and punish it for what it did!"


"Take you ... in .. eighth ... at .. full moon ...."


The old hermit's voice died, and your eyes broke at the same time.


"Grandmother? GRANDMOTHER !!"


But all the shaking didn't help. The body remained motionless.


All day long Vegeta did not leave her dead grandmother's side and mourned with many tears.It was only when the cold evening wind came down from the mountains and along your bare body that she rose.


She returned sadly to the hut and pulled out a set of clean clothes. Son-Li had sewn them all himself for her pupil. The little Amazon already missed her very much!


Vegeta returned to the still body with a shovel.


Son-Li found her final resting place under a large, old tree. Little Amazon had no idea that she was to blame for the death of her grandmother.




From now on Vegeta lived alone in the mountains. She exercised every day and did the usual chores that Son-Li had taught her. And she got along very well on her own and didn't need any help. Even the harsh winter didn't bother her. So the time passed ...




For three years Vegeta lived alone in the mountains with almost no contact with other people. And she could survive on her own.She procured her own food and kept the hut in order, as Son-Li had always done. She trained for the rest of the day. When the people from the village tried to give the orphaned little one into the care of a farmer, the little Amazon refused and escaped into the woods! It had been impossible to catch this child or to convince them with words! Because it was easy for Vegeta, thanks to your incredible strength, to free herself again! And the farmers felt that too! Since then they have feared this strange monkey girl, as they called her, and avoided the area in the mountains where she lived.




Vegeta loved to go fishing. All she had to do was hang the end of her tail in the water and if she wiggled it back and forth, a large fish would often bite! The rest was a breeze. Or she sharpened a stick and hunted in the water for the coveted prey, depending on what she felt like.And she always managed to spear a large fish!


So also on this day. But still something should change in the life of the little Amazon today.


Vegeta happily walked home with her prey over her shoulder. Suddenly she heard a strange, humming noise. The little Amazon had never heard anything like it. She turned around - and at the same moment saw a large, white monster with yellow, glowing eyes shooting at her! It had a strange, angular shape and round legs!


Startled, Vegeta dropped the fish and jumped for cover as the growling monster rushed past her! But then she pulled her fighting staff from her shoulder and stormed after the monster!


"Stand still, you monster! Haaaah!"


With unbelievable speed Vegeta darted after the smoking and foul-smelling beast! One sentence and she got hold of the tendril of a tree! On this she swung along the gorge while the monster had to take the winding road and cut him off.With a bouncy jump she finally landed at the other end of the curve and had her fighting staff ready to push!


In the next moment the white monster came shooting around the corner! There were strange noises and when Vegeta struck her with her staff, there was a murderous screech and squeak! The stick bored into the monster with a loud crunch between the glowing yellow eyes! There was a bang and the monster came to a stop at the feet of the little amazon!


"Hah! I have you!" she exclaimed triumphantly, brandishing her staff. "Do you have enough?"


The only answer was a strange hissing sound from the thing, smoke rising from the front.




Suddenly a door opened on the side of the monster and a girl of about fifteen with green hair and blue eyes crawled out!


"Oooh! The monster had eaten a girl! It was good that I did it!" Vegeta was happy. But the strange girl was anything but pleased!

"HEY! WHAT YOU'VE GOT OVER; YOU STUPID BRAT! YOU RUINED MY CAR!" it yelled angrily!


"Automobile?" asked Vegeta in amazement.


"Yes-car! Have you never seen a car?"


Vegeta shook her head innocently.


"Oh dear! You come from the wild, don't you?"


"Huh?"


"What's your name, little one?"


"Son-Vegeta. But everyone just calls me Vegeta."


"Strange name."


"Grandma Li gave me this name. Because she found me in the middle of a vegetable field!"


"Well, then it fits. How old are you actually?"


Vegeta started counting her fingers and then said, "Eight. - What's your name?"


"Bulma.-Tell me, do you live around here?"


Vegeta nodded. The two girls were silent for a moment and eyed each other curiously. The green-haired one walked slowly around the smaller one and looked at her from all sides.


Then the strange girl discovered the monkey's tail that protruded from the back of the little Amazon's wide trousers.

"What kind of a girl are you! You have a tail!"


"I've always had that!"


"Aha..."


"It's very practical! It helps me climb trees or fish!"


"Then take me to your village or wherever you live! I hope not, in a cave with dinosaurs!"


"I live in my grandmother's house!"


Bulma had meanwhile gone to your battered car and flipped a switch. The little Amazon watched in amazement as the car suddenly disappeared with a bang and only an elongated capsule remained.


"Maybe I can fix it with you! In any case, I now need a place to stay!"


So this is how Vegeta's first encounter with a car went. And with Bulma.


On the way the little, black-haired girl got her big, caught fish.


"You have a nice necklace there."


"You can see the stars in the jewel in the middle!Look here!"


Bulma crouched down in front of Vegeta and looked at the trailer.


"You're right. It's really beautiful!" she nodded.




Soon they had reached the hut. While Bulma looked around briefly outside, Vegeta was already going inside.


The golden ball with the four stars stood on the wooden table. Every morning the little Amazon stopped in front of her and said a short prayer for her late grandmother.


Now Bulma also entered the hut. Sighing, she let her gaze wander.


"How primitive ... there's not even a phone here! Probably not a real toilet either!" she grumbled. Then she discovered the sphere.


"Hey! It's a DRAGONBALL!" she called, pushed past Vegeta and grabbed her!


"Give it back! I got it from my grandmother!" protested the little one.


"So my radar was reading correctly! -Where is your grandmother?"


"Dead." replied Vegeta sadly.

"Then you live here all by yourself! Do you have any other relatives?"


The little Amazon shook her head.


"You poor little one! How do you manage so alone!"


"Grandma taught me everything!"


Bulma sat down on a chair and turned the golden ball in her hand.


"What is a dragon ball?" Vegeta wanted to know.


"This sphere here. In total there are seven of them. Each with a different number of stars inside. I have a radar with which I can track down all seven! I've already found the first one! Namely this one!"


"And what's the point of having all seven Dragon Balls?"


"When all seven dragon balls are collected, the great dragon Shenlong appears and fulfills a wish! Isn't that great?"


"Well ..." Vegeta didn't seem very enthusiastic.


"Do you not have a special request?"


"I just want to train and get stronger!"


"A strange wish for a little girl!" Bulma noted quietly, then she had an idea."Tell me, don't you want to come with me? The way you jumped my car, you must be very strong! And I could use your support on this trip! You could learn a lot on this trip! To live alone here in the wilderness is not for a little girl! "


"Can I also learn to fight? I want to get much stronger and better! Grandmama Li was a teacher of the Amazons - martial arts!"


"Oh, so you are a little Amazon! Well, I think that learning to fight can be arranged! So you are with me?"


Vegeta nodded.


"But first we eat! I'll fry the fish now!"




After the meal was ready, both sat at the table and enjoyed it. But when Bulma saw how almost the whole fish disappeared in the stomach of the little amazon, her eyes
