green sea lying in front of him. "We're not getting any further!" he attaches to it and hops off the rock again only to climb back up on the one opposite, where Bulma is sitting at the source. Bulma, who took a first-aid kit and a mirror from one of the capsules, fixes her small scratch on the hairline that she suffered from the vortex in the spaceship and freshen up a bit.When Vegeta slides off the rock again, they hear that strange, dull rumble again. This time it was far more suffering and a little quieter. "What can it be?" asks Bulma again. "You stay here, I'll take a look." if Vegeta is serious and with these words he is already on his way in the direction of the sound. Bulma quickly packs her first-aid kit into the capsule and straps onto her belt pouch. "Hold on wait! Don't leave me here alone!" she calls and hurries after him.



Suddenly everything starts to turn again when she puts her foot on the ground after a little climbing tour over a few rocks. "Phew ... made it!" she sighs and looks back at the rather stony path. "But where..?" she turns around and wonders where Vegeta has gone. Then her gaze falls on a puddle a little further ahead, in the shadow of the withered bushes. The bushes look like something huge has run through, because the dead branches are kinked and partly broken off.Even the ground from the way she came can be seen deep grinding marks. As she walks closer, she realizes that there is a large pool of blood. "Uahm ..." she holds a hand over her mouth, walks around her and on. Through the bushes she sees Vegeta, who is standing with his arms on his hips and looking around, and walks up to him. She suddenly stops when her gaze falls on the huge dinosaur-like giant lying on the rock face behind Vegeta. The right side of his torso is torn open, and blood and innards are oozing out. The giant's shoulder blade protrudes through the torn skin. "Oh no! The poor animal!" Bulma exclaims in shock. "Looks like we hit him with the spaceship!" Vegeta combines as he reconstructs the flight path of the spaceship in his mind and turns his gaze to Bulma, who is turning a little pale. "No ... we have to help him." she takes a hesitant step towards Vegeta."That can no longer be helped!" it comes cold from Vegeta and turns back to the giant who is lying on the ground in front of him and is breathing laboriously. His panting breath stirs dust to his head and blood drips from his mighty jaw. "Go back to the ship! I'll do this!" he addresses Bulma unkindly. Bulma hesitates at first, turns back to the bushes to leave. At the other end of the bushes she stops and looks back. She watches Vegeta step on the giant's head. Hesitantly, he puts his hand on the painful nostrils of the giant and looks at him. Vegeta's face is reflected in the glassy, ​​large eyes of the animal, which is now rolling up again, whimpering softly. It almost seems to Bulma as if this clock giant and Vegeta are communicating with each other. Perhaps the Saiyajins were better at dealing with animals than with their own kind or with humans. Even then, with Son-Goku, she noticed his friendliness towards animals."Is that because of your animal half?" she asks herself in secret and her gaze stays on Vegeta when she realizes again that half an animal is slumbering in him too. The Weraffe that the Saiyajins refer to as Ozaru. After an almost relieved growl from the giant, he lets out his breath and slowly closes his eyes. Vegeta takes a few steps away from his head, raises his hand and concentrates a ball of energy to immediately treat the giant with a coup de grace. Bulma, who watches as the yellow ball of energy digs between the giant's eyes, covers her eyes in shock. When Vegeta turns around to also return to the spaceship, he notices a movement in the bushes to his right. With a light murmur, one of the giant's young paddles out and wobbles towards its dead mother. "Very well!" it escapes Vegeta and seems to be thinking about something. Bulma, who has now also noticed the little boy, hurries back again."No, how cute!" she enthuses about the dinosaur baby who nudges the dead mother's snout and calls her. "What are you still doing here ?! I said you should go back to the ship!" Vegeta snaps at her unkindly. "Don't shout at me!" she zips back. "Better think about what we're going to do now! We can't leave the little baby here." Bulma starts talking. "You go back to the ship first! I'll think of something!" Vegeta glared at her. Bulma stubbornly pushes out her lower lip and starts walking back without saying anything to him. “What is he imagining ?!” she annoys, walks around the pool of blood and steps out of the shadow of the undergrowth. At that moment she hears a bang, like an explosion, and the light of a tremendous lightning bolt casts its shadow in her path. Disappointed, she stops and stares at her shadow, which is now disappearing again. She doesn't dare to look back again. She doesn't want to see what Vegeta, who is following her now, did.He walks past her in silence. "How can he be so cold that he's even such a little dinosaur baby ..." she ponders and looks after him sadly. Vegeta, who senses her questioning, sad look, gives her an answer in a serious tone: "I had to do it! Alone it would have no chance of surviving." Bulma follows him slowly, because that sounds somehow logical. "Mh ... he's right ..." she secretly admits and stops in front of the stony and somewhat steep path. "Would you have preferred it if it had been painful ?!" Vegeta asks her now, holding out his hand to help her up. "No ..." Bulma looks up at him and a weak, accepting smile crosses her face before she takes his hand and lets him pull her up. "Yes, he's right." she repeats in her mind as she climbs the stony path with his help. By giving the baby's mother the coup de grace, Bulma realizes that he did not have the heart to let her suffer until her final death."You really don't have as bad a heart as everyone thinks." she confirms her opinion of him and follows him silently back to the spaceship.



When you stand in front of the spaceship again you realize that there is not enough space here to put the spaceship in its normal position and to repair it. A flat and clear place on the water would be ideal to set up an emergency camp. "Do you need anything else from the spaceship?" Vegeta speaks to her now. "No, I have the essentials in my pocket!" Bulma points to her belt pouch. "Alright!" it comes from Vegeta before he gets up briefly to press the button on the hatch. With a "poff" the spaceship is already packed in a capsule and Vegeta picks it up from the ground. "Put it here!" He hands it to Bulma, who immediately puts it in her capsule case. "What do we do now?" she asks him with a touch of concern. "We look for a suitable place where we set up our camp." Vegeta explains briefly and climbs again on the rock next to the spring.Bulma becomes a little dizzy again and she sits down. "I suggest we go in that direction, there is a lake further back. That would be ideal!" Vegeta comes down again and points in the direction. "But we have to make the descent first." he turns to Bulma who now looks a bit pale. "Yes, but why go? You can fly." she pulls the zipper on her jumpsuit a little. "The air is too thin to fly, that would be too exhausting. I might be able to do it alone, but with you in tow?" he makes the situation clear to her. "Oh, so ..." Bulma breathes out weakly. "So we have to go on foot." Vegeta starts again. "Besides, I don't know if anyone else is here besides us. It would be better if we didn't attract unnecessary attention." he explains to her and looks around attentively. "Mh ... then we're like illegal immigrants." Bulma smiles and puts her hand on her forehead again. "Mh ... yes exactly!" grins Vegeta."Regardless of who is still here, we have to expect that he or she is able to sense aura. Or have scouters available. That makes the whole thing more difficult!" he attaches to it. "You look bad, what's wrong with you?" he asks her now. "I'm just a little sick and nothing else." she answers softly. "It's definitely the climate, you're not used to it." Vegeta thinks about it. "I'll take a remedy for it right away, and I'll be fine again." Bulma takes her capsule case out of her pocket. "All right ... then we'll take a little break and then go off." he now sits down in the shade and leans against the rock.
