beautiful smile she has.If his pride would allow it, he would walk up to her now, hug her, and comfort her. "Mh ... maybe it's just too NORMAL for me?" she smiles now. "Maybe I prefer guys to set up the scaffolding again with one flick of the wrist?" she peers back over her shoulder at Vegeta who flinches. "Don't start like that, right ?!" it comes from him quickly. "Yes, yes, I know!" she interrupts him. "Although I can't quite understand it ..." she adds quietly. "You know ... we're too different." Vegeta now begins to stammer. Bulma's hands clench around her coffee cup. "We live in different worlds." Vegeta still clings to his words. Bulma puts her head back on her neck and looks into the light that hangs high on the ceiling. "Yes, I know. I would like to get to know this world you are talking about." she speaks without looking at him. After a while, Vegeta says coolly: "No, you wouldn't be able to take that."" You would be way too ... "Vegeta can't finish the sentence, Bulma does it for him." Too weak for that ?! "she looks at him with sparkling eyes. Vegeta returns her gaze seriously. Bulma's expression changes back to the feeling of depression from before, she turns away from him and whispers: "Yes, you are right. Because I am human. "Vegeta is listening, because her words remind him of what he said to her over 3 months ago." People are weak because they have feelings. "He repeats in his mind and turns away from her. Bulma now falls on the Vegeta has been holding his left hand on his right arm the whole time. “He seems to be in pain?” she concludes, after all it was only yesterday when he sustained the injury. “Oh, yes!” Bulma now speaks to him again Vegeta is afraid to hear some grumbling from her and winces slightly. "Thank you, Vegeta. If you hadn't been here I would be in the hospital now. "She smiles and looks down."Mh ... a matter of honor." Vegeta gives her back briefly and turns to the hall door. With these words the two diverge.

Late in the evening, on the same day, somewhere else in town. A desk lamp is still burning in a large office with a panoramic window, which is on the top floor of a high-rise building. Feith is sitting at his PC and researching the residents' files. As the Junior Director of Vailant Medicines, he has access to every record of every resident on planet earth. He was looking for a particular file. He's been looking for a long time since he came back from Bulma, because he doesn't even know exactly what name to look under. It is already 11 p.m. and after hours of searching, he finally found what he was looking for. "Well please! Who are you saying?" he grins broadly and prints out the file. "Well then let's see ..." he thinks aloud and holds the sheet up to the light. At that moment there is a knock on the door and the gorilla, who was already with Bulma, comes in."Boss, that has just been handed in." he speaks to him and hands him the package. "Oh, that was quick." he grabs the package and sends the tall, broad-shouldered bodyguard back outside. He opens the bubble envelope that his old friend Justin sent him and takes out the video card. He presses a button on the keyboard on his desk and a kind of blind on the wall is raised, behind which an oversized screen emerges. He inserts the V-Card into the slot provided and turns back to the printed file. "Let's see .... Age ... 33. Origin ... unknown?" Feith reads aloud to himself and leans back in his executive chair. "Yes, yes, the puzzle is gradually being put together. I knew what was wrong with it," he ponders. "Residence ... Capsule Corporation ... since 763rd." he reads on. "No birth certificate, no baptismal certificate, nothing ... just nothing ..." he ponders hard."It's almost as if this guy didn't even exist before 763 ..." he adds. "Mh ... looks like the Honorable Dr. Briefs played all of his relationships to get him on file." he sighs. "And then they take another photo like that. You could think of him as a felon on it. Oh yes, I must have seen this face somewhere before." he whispers, looks spellbound at the photo and now turns his gaze to the screen where the recording of the news from 762 has already started. A shivering reporter stands under the protection of his company bus and reports live from the scene where specialists were investigating two spherical objects in flight. The occupants of these flying objects, which had fallen from the sky a few hours ago, had disappeared without a trace, Feith heard the reporter report. "And now we're going to show you a video that an amateur filmmaker sent us." the reporter now presents the video and the footage has been cut."And here you see the two aliens that recently cremated this entire city." you can hear the reporter in the background while the video shows a bald giant. "Really extraordinary." it comes from Feith cool. The camera goes deeper and targets a grinning dwarf. At that moment Feith presses one of the keys on his keyboard again and the recording that Justin was looking for for him from the archive of the television station switches to a still image. "And I thought they had disappeared back into space or somewhere else?" he says. "Mh ... I'm lucky! Now I might be able to pull off this project after all." he whispers and strokes his mustache with his finger. "Mhmhm ..." grins Feith devilishly. "Now I have you ... Saiyan!" he laughs loudly, demonically.



16. Dark figures

"Imagine what our neighbor just told me!" Mrs. Briefs, who is just coming in through the kitchen door, speaks to her daughter.She had been back to the neighbor's house for a long time to gossip about all sorts of things. "What is it mom?" Bulma is not so interested. She's still a little depressed about the Feith thing. Although she has no problem forgetting him, she fears that the last word has not yet been spoken and believes that she will hear from him again shortly. In the last 4 days he has tried to reach you by phone twice. But she read every time that she was not at home. She didn't feel like listening to his sayings. "She told me that she saw strange shapes in our garden last night." Bulma's mother now begins to tell. "Mh? Strange characters?" repeated Bulma in surprise. "Yes! You were dressed in dark clothes and sneaked around suspiciously." continues Mrs. Briefs. "Maybe your father should finally install the new alarm system?" she adds with concern. "Do not worry!It was probably just Vegeta. He trained late into the night again yesterday. "Bulma tries to calm her mother down." No, I don't think so! She spoke of three great men. Maybe we should tell security? "Mrs. Briefs paced nervously in the kitchen." Oh yeah, burglar then? Then you don’t need to worry. And the security service is completely unnecessary. "Bulma begins to speak." Oh yeah? "Yes, Vegeta is always up late and if the burglars are unlucky enough to meet him then they go to jail voluntarily!" Comes Bulma, amused. "Right? "she now speaks to Vegeta coming in the door to take his afternoon break." What is right? "it comes unfriendly, as always, from him." Well, that you protect us when we are threatened. "she explains with a grin "Mh ?? Who should threaten you ?! "he drops onto a chair across from Bulma."Our neighbor saw strange figures in our garden last night." tells Mrs. Briefs with concern. "Strange characters ?!" Vegeta listens. "Yes exactly." confirms Bulma's mother again. "Mh ... so it wasn't my imagination ..." he thinks half aloud. "What ?! Did you notice something?" Bulma pulls up from the chair and leans over to him. "Uh ... not right." he answers briefly, gets up and gets a mineral from the refrigerator. Bulma looks after him with concern. "Something worries him." it shoots through her head. "Well, I don't feel safe anymore! Your father should install the new alarm system as soon as he comes back from the congress." it comes from Mrs. Briefs nervously. "Don't worry, Mom. The company is under video surveillance." Bulma tries to appease her mother. "Yes, the company! But what about the private property ?!" her mother drives around. "Exactly! I wonder what they are doing here ?!" Bulma is defeated. "Hey! Stop panic!" Vegeta now intervenes to put an end to the hysteria of the two."It's not bearable!" he is annoyed at that. "Easy for you to say!" Bulma now stands up from her chair and approaches Vegeta. "You are a guy and you can defend yourself! We are helpless! What if they are robbers, or worse, rapists too ?!" Bulma, who has let herself be infected by her mother's panic, waves her arms around. Vegeta catches one of these arms on the wrist and speaks calmly but energetically to her: "Don't worry! I'll take care of it!" Bulma looks at him with big, startled eyes. Vegeta lets go of her and goes back outside to jump into the next training session. "Yes good thanks." Bulma stutters after him. His gaze had taken her breath away. Those wildly sparkling eyes. So dark and deep that she threatens to drown in it. "Vegeta ..., I think we can rely on you." She ponders and watches him walk away across the lawn, where the flowers are slowly beginning to bloom.The March wind brings spring into the country and spreads the gentle scent of the first signs of spring. Vegeta strolls across the lawn, in the direction of the spaceship and looks around vigilantly. "So I didn't just imagine yesterday." he thinks aloud and looks around where they could be kept hidden in this garden. Yesterday when he went back to the house around midnight, it seemed to him that he was being watched. An aura was nowhere to be felt and his eagle eyes could not capture anything conspicuous either. But there was something that seemed to be watching him. He steps on the ramp and lets his gaze wander over the garden again. And this time, too, it does not seem to him to be alone here. No sound, no shadow, nothing reveals that there is someone else here besides him. Now that he knows it wasn't his imagination, he notices
