Dragonball Super - Little Red Riding Hood

Chapter 2 - The bounty hunter and the girl

Hana stood with her red hood around her shoulders. The bounty hunter Sofuti crawled quietly away. Blinded, that one couldn't get far. "That was low!" shouted Goku. Hana threw an angry look at Goku "No! What is low is killing children and getting money for it". I did the universe a favor.

Goku could only tighten his fist angrily. Deep down, she was right, but it didn't line up with how he lived. Meanwhile, Hana walked into the group of Z fighters. She had seen the bar. She walked past Trunks and Goten, flirtingly giving guys a wink. She grabbed a beer from the fridge and pulled the cap off.

"How old are you?" Bulma watched from a distance as the young woman took a large gulp from her bottle of beer. Surprised, Hana looked at Bulma. "Eighteen, how so?" But just as Bulma was about to give a lecture Vegeta spoke. "Bulma its ok, a Saiyan can keep its liquor when they are sixteen". Bulma looked angrily at her husband.

"Ah why is she allowed and we are not" whispered Trunks to Goten. At that moment Trunks received a smack on the head from Vegeta. "Because you are half human and Bulma is your mother." The boys looked at each other and sighed deeply.

Hana walked toward a picnic table but stopped next to van Beerus. She looked at the god of destruction curiously. "You look interesting, who are you?" Beerus raised an eyebrow "You have no idea little girl". "I didn't even know what the prince of my race looked like. So forgive me" she winked at Beerus. Beerus in complete confusion gave a cough. "My name is Beerus, god of destruction." Hana smiled cute "sweet" and she walked on.

The young bounty hunter sat down at a picnic table. She took a sip of her beer. When she set her bottle down, a cheerful girl sat across from her. "Hello" said Hana. "You fight so cool! When I'm older I want be like you" said the blue haired girl. Hana almost choked on her beer. "What's your name little girl?" asked Hana entertained. "My name is Bulla and this is my party."

Hana began to laugh "I guess your parents had something else in mind. But hey there's nothing wrong with a little girl power". "And what exactly do you do?" Piccolo had moved to stand next to her. Hana observed the big green Namekian. Hana pulled some kind of digital round tablet from her waistband. Pressing it, she scrolled past hologram pictures. "These figures are wanted and if I turn in their "cough" their heads, I get money."

"That doesn't make you much better than the other guy" said Goku angrily. It was obvious he didn't like her. Hana threw back an angry look and stood up. "I am nothing like him, I pick my prey not on the money. If he is a danger or a nice challenge then I go after it". She dropped back down on the bench and looked at her beer. "Who do you work for?" asked Vegeta. Hana looked up "For who's paying."

"But didn't I just hear something earlier about you not having a ship" A cheerful perky voice came from Whis. Everyone looked at him, Whis pointed to a ship flying away. Everyone followed Whis's finger and also saw the ship. "Shit!" yelled Hana. She jumped up and wanted to run towards it. But halfway across the field she stopped. She threw a ki blast after it, but it was no use.

Angry, she gave a shout. By now, she was holding her rip again. "Dende, can you heal her rip?" asked Vegeta. "Yes, but she doesn't come across as a person I want to heal." The young Namekian looked at the bounty hunter. Hana had a grin on her face "that doesn't matter Namekian, this rip has been broken more times than I have fingers. The pain I can handle". Vegeta shook his head. "And what is your plan now, you have no ship".

Hana walked back to the table, grabbed her round tablet, she scrolled through the pictures. A number of Z-fighters were looking over her shoulder. She stopped at a hologram photo of Vegeta "Gotcha." She clicked on it and started scrolling through all the information. She smiled at Vegeta "You are going to be busy, with such a reward on your head". Everyone looked at Vegeta "and who gave the order?" asked the prince. Hana looked at the prince "the gray wolf"

"Who?" the Saiyan had an eyebrow raised. "Nobody really knows him; they say he's a middle man for Frieza." Vegeta began to laugh. But Hana looked worriedly at Bulla and stood up. "You don't understand" she glanced at vegeta. "There are bounty hunters with a good pair of brains and honor like me. But you also have a few backslidden ones among them. The people you care about ere not safe". "I can protect my family well enough" Vegeta snapped at her.

"What else do you know Hana" asked Bulma worriedly. Hana crossed her arms. She stared at an empty bottle of beer on the table. She grabbed the bottle and threw it at Trunks. "Another bottle pretty boy." Trunks looked from Hana to his mother in surprise. His mother nodded reluctantly.

She took a big gulp and had a list of names on her round tablet. "Your head is only just out yet. But there are already quite a few trying to claim you. Most of them are rookies, nothing special. But there are a few dirty ones in there, too." Hana went through a few of the major players. She knew how they worked.

After giving the information, Hana gave Bulla a pat on her head. "Good luck!" she called out. But before she realized it Bulma was standing in front of her. "And where were you planning to go?" Surprised, the girl looked at the woman. "I don't understand your question?" Meanwhile, Vegeta was standing behind her. "What my wife means is, where you sleep" said the prince. "Mama, can she stay with us" asked Bulla.

Slowly, puzzle pieces fell into place. The blue-haired woman is the prince's wife. The little girl is their daughter. "Madam, are you an elite blood fighter?" Hana turned to Bulma. She burst out laughing "Oh no dear, I'm an inventor". "Have your children been tested?" asked Hana to Vegeta now surprised. He gave a big deep sigh.

"I don't care what blood my wife has. She is smart and beautiful. My children are our children. A test gives no value". Vegeta looked at Hana sternly. "But don't you just want pure blood" there was confusion in her voice. "That blood test you are talking about says nothing. Kakarot there is low class, but we are on the same level. All it gives is a little edge". Tears were in Hana's eyes.

"And what is your level? I saw you knock Sofuti out with a small punch. But I have a feeling it didn't take a drop of sweat". Vegeta had a victory smirk on his face and looked at his comrade. "Do you know the legend of the super Saiyan? Asked Goku. Hana nodded. "Here is the legend of a god" And both men transformed into Super Saiyan god. "Teach that to me" was all Hana could utter.
