Bulma's Wish
By Supergeek (supergeek4368@webtv.net)
Bulma's wish is granted.


Note: this story borrows from the Dragonball Z series, which is the
coolest show, except that it doesn't have any superwomen! So I wrote
this story to fix that...


BULMA'S WISH

 At last, Bulma had located the seventh Dragonball. Soon her fondest
wish would be granted, and she would never have to worry about being
the
"helpless damsel in distress" again.
 As she drew closer to the last Dragonball, Bulma was talking to
herself, saying, " So, they think they can just drag me along on their
adventures and then leave me alone and helpless while monsters and
marauders and who knows what else tears the planet apart while I'm on
it? Well, boys, when the Dragon grants my wish, I'll be stronger than
all of you put together, then we'll see wo's really 'helpless'".
  Bulma slid the pack off her shoulders and dumped the six Dragnballs
onto the ground where the seventh Dragonball waited. At last, the
moment
had come.
 Bulma raised her hands above the Dragonballs and shouted "Arise,
Dragon!"
 The sky darkened and lightning flashed as the Eternal Dragon arose
from
among the Dragonballs and said "I AM THE ETERNAL DRAGON! I WILL GRANT
YOU ONE WISH THAT IS WITHIN MY POWER! STATEYOUR WISH!"
 "Eternal Dragon!" replied Bulma. "I wish to be the strongest person in
the universe!"
 "VERY WELL, AS YOU WISH!"  said the Eternal Dragon, and with that,
lightning shot through Bulma, and every part of her body surged with
incredible power. At last, the lightning subsided, but Bulma still felt
power surging through her.
 "YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED!" said the Eternal Dragon. " AND NOW I BID
YOU, FAREWELL!" And with that, the Dragonballs shot out to the ends of
he Earth, leaving Bulma alone to test her newfound powers.
 Just then, a band of huge, hairy ogres emerged from a nearby cave an
approached Bulma with heavy spiked clubs in hand. It was obvious what
they planned to do, so as the first ogre raised his club to strike,
Bulma's hand shot out and gabbed the spiked end quick as thought. To
her
surprise, the spikes felt more like soft clay than hard steel. She had
no time to consider this, however, because the other ogres had
surrounded her, and now they began to swing their clubs in earnest,
trying to turn Bulma into a red smear. Bulma hardly felt these blows,
however, and she realizedthe Eternal Dragon, in granting her wish, had
made her absolutely invincible.
 Finally Bulma said "All right, that's enough!" and quickly finished
off
the remaining ogres, afterwards throwing them back into the cave they
had come from.
 "Now to make sure these jerks don't bother me again!" said Bulma, and
with that, she grasped the mountian on either side of the cave entrance
and pulled her arms together, squeezing the huge mountian into a pile
of
rubble!
 "Oops," said Bulma "i'm going to have to be more careful, I'm REALLY
strong now!" Bulma leaped into the sky and began flying back home.
 "Wow, I can hardly wait to show everyone how much stronger I've gotten
!" said Bulma as she flew. "I'll bet I could win any contest they could
come up with now!"
 As she approached her father's lab, Bulma noticed a plume of smoke
rising into the air. She landed and used her powerful vision to take
stock of the situation, and what she saw wasn't pretty. The area near
Capsule Corporation, where her fater worked was devestated, and her
friends Goku, Picallo, Krillen, and Vegeta lay strewn about.  To
Bulma's
relief, she heard heartbeats coming from all five of her friends, so
she
stopped worrying about them for the moment and focused on the source of
the devestation.
 Standing amidst the carnage was a monster armed to the teeth,
literally. His mouth was full of sharp teeth that looked capable of
tearing through steel. He looked like a twelvefoot gator, and stood
surveying his handiwork, even as Bulma surveyed him.
 Bulma ran toward the monster at warp speed, reaching him in a
zillionth
of a second and throwing him into the ground so hard he hit lava. Bulma
stood over him with righteous anger in her eyes.
 "Are you responsible for this?" asked Bulma, indicating the
destruction
around them.
 "Yesss," hissed the monster "I am. I have crussshed the greatessst
heroesss of thisss world. Now with my fellow Gatoreansss, I ssshall
crusssh all resssissstanccce on thisss puny dussstball."
 "Not if I can help it!" said Bulma defiantly.
 "Too late, foolisssh Earth female! No forccce can withssstand our
mighty armada, which isss landing even asss we ssspeak!"
 "We'll see about that!" said Bulma, and leaped into the air to meet
the
assault .
 A billion Gatorean gunners saw a petite blue haired female flying
towards them and opened fire with everything they had. They pummeled
her
with shot after shot until a Gatorean Commander said "Ccceassse fire,
sshe isss sssurely dead by now."
 But when he smoke cleared, they found Bulma unscathed, although her
clothing wasn't. Unfortuneatly, the Eternal Dragon had not given her an
invulnerable wardrobe, and her outfit had disintigrated under the
barrage.
 "That was my favorite outfit!" shouted the enraged Bulma, and flew
toward the Gatorean Armada. They resumed trying to blast her out of
existance, but they might as well have been shooting spitballs, for all
the effect they were having on her. Bulma reached the first ship and,
grasping the blazing cannon barrel, bent it around so that its blasts
destroyed the ship. She plunged throughships like they weren't there.
She laughed as bombs, laser blasts, and missiles struck her body with
no
effect. She deflected the billion ton ships that tried to ram her like
beach balls.
 The Gatoreans were in a full panic now. "Sssound the retreat!" shouted
the commander. "sssound the retreat!"
 But it was too late for them, as Bulma zipped around, grabbing the
remaining five hundred million ships and fused them all into a single
mass. Just in case you're keeping score, Bulma is holding five hundred
quadrillion tons with ease.She plays with her new "ball" for a while
before she finally gets bored with it and throws it away. And I mean
WAY
away, because her casual toss carried the huge mass clear out of our
galaxy!
 "Well, that takes care of that." said Bulma as she landed again. The
she noticed the crack she had made earlier where lava was bubbling and
threatening the ctizenry.
 "I'd better cool things down around here, fast!" said Bulma, and with
that, she blew on the lava to do just that, cooling it back into solid
rock again. In fact, she may have overdone it, because several
volcanoes
all over Earth mysteriously sputtered out in the midst of erupting, But
I don't suppose anyone's going to give Bulma a hard time about that.
 Bulma found some clothes and went back to her friends, who were
reviving.
 "Ooh, what happened?" groaned Gohan.
 "Well kid," said Bulma "there were these nasty aliens who knocked you
around, but fortuneatly, I wished for invincibility from the Dragon, so
I was able to take care of them!"
 "Wow, cool." was all the others could say
 "Well, come on guys. You don't expect me to clean up this big mess by
myself, now do you?" said Bulma.
 And with that, they set to work restoring the great city.

THE END
