"Princess! Oh, Princess! Please wait a little more! General Kakarot is on his way back here! One of his team members contacted King Vegeta and informed him of their success!" Kara said frantically as she watched over the now very weak Princess Bulla.
Princess Bulla tried to smile then winced. "K-Kakarot is coming back?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! He is coming back with the antidote to save you!" Kara replied as tears fell on her eyes. She had been very close and faithful to the Princess that it also pains her to see the Princess in a dying state.
Princess Bulla said nothing as she huddled in her blankets. Her body is shivering and trembling violently, and she also did not want to change positions because even a little movement caused her intense pain.
Kakarot... Please hurry my love... My only wish is to see you, and hold you... Even for one last time before I go...
"General Kakarot, only three hours are left before sunrise. I'm afraid we might not be able to make it in time. The Arians have destroyed our spacepods. We still have to fix them and it would take us about a day to be able to do so." One of the Saiyans in Kakarot's team informed him.
"No!" Kakarot punched the ground in frustration, and blood flowed in between his fingers. "Is there no other way to travel back at a fast rate?!" He asked frantically.
"I'm afraid there's no other way, sir." His teammate shook his head sadly.
"But the Princess... She needs me... I have to save her.. I have to..." Kakarot said as tears formed in his eyes and spilled down his face. His teammates looked at him sadly, they knew how much Kakarot loved the Princess with all his heart. It was a love affair which is not a secret to the King and to the Royal Family anymore. The King despised of it at first, but when Kakarot proved himself to be worthy of the Princess' love many times by bravely serving the King and protecting the planet, King Vegeta did not object to it anymore.
"General, I found this lone space pod in the abandoned Arian palace! Go and try to see if this will work."
Kakarot looked at his teammate who spoke. He felt a slight relief upon hearing what the Saiyan said. He smiled slightly and walked over to the space pod his teammate spoke of. He tried pressing on the controls and much to his delight, it is indeed working.
"Go and leave now, General. We will follow you back after we get our space pods fixed! You must go now, Princess Bulla needs you!"
Kakarot boarded the space pod at once and pressed the controls, directing it to head to Planet Vegeta. He looked at his teammates and smiled at them after thanking them. They have all been loyal to him and served him well. He made a mental note to himself that when all this is over, he will talk to the King about this and ask for a commendation for his team.
I'm coming, Princess...
"Bulla! Bulla, can you hear me?!"
Princess Bulla opened her eyes and saw her brother, Prince Trunks as well as their father, King Vegeta standing by her bedside and looking at her. "F-Father... Trunks..."
"Bulla, just hold on! I know General Kakarot is coming, I know he's on his way back here! You will be saved, for he has the antidote with him!" Prince Trunks said frantically as he held his sister's hand.
"When all this is over, I will allow you to marry the general and live with him. After all, he had proven himself worthy of your love." King Vegeta said.
Princess Bulla smiled but did not speak a word. Then she coughed up blood once more, while her faithful maidservant patted her back gently. Everyone was silent in the room and only the ticking of the clock could be heard. Princess Bulla's breathing became more labored as time passed, and by now, everyone feared the worst. Kakarot might not be able to make it on time.
"Father, only ten minutes is left before sunrise.. I'm afraid the general might be too late." Prince Trunks said as he turned away from his dying sister. He did not want to watch and see her die.
King Vegeta clenched his fists and didn't say a word. They were almost losing all hope when they heard the sound of a landing space pod outside the palace.
Kara stood up, tears flowing from her eyes. "It's the general! Princess, General Kakarot is back! He made it!"
Both the Prince and the King turned towards the door and pretty soon, Kakarot appeared. He was still in his Super Saiyan form, and his battle armor was partly damaged. He was holding a bottle filled with red liquid in his hand and he raised it for everyone in the room to see.
"I have it! I have the antidote, Princess!" He cried as he rushed towards Princess Bulla to give her the antidote.
When he reached the Princess at last, he stopped in his tracks. Princess Bulla had stopped shivering though blood still trickled down the side of her mouth. She appeared paler and her eyes were closed. Kakarot felt as if icy water was thrown upon his back when he tried to feel for her energy signal but instead felt none.
"P-Princess..." He called out to her softly.
Both the King and Prince also noticed that there was something wrong, for they too failed to feel the Princess' energy signal or her life force.
Kakarot fell on his knees beside the Princess. He stroked her cheek. "Princess, I am here now... Please wake up.."
She didn't budge.
Kakarot opened the bottle filled with the antidote. "I have the antidote with me, Princess. I told you I wouldn't let you die. Please wake up..." He called once more.
Still, there was no response from her.
Kakarot felt his eyes stinging as heavy tears flowed from them and rolled down his cheeks at once. Kara was already crying on one side of the room while the King and the Prince both had a dark look on their faces. Right there and then, they knew that the worst had already happened.
Kakarot was late.
Princess Bulla did not make it.
Kakarot scooped the Princess' limp body in his arms and rocked back and forth as he buried his face in her neck and cried, his tears leaking on her skin.
"Princess..." He said, his voice thick with anguish as he cried. Sobs racked his body and he didn't care anymore if the King or the Prince could see his weak side. He had lost the one he loved and the pain he felt was unbearable, it was almost too much for him.
King Vegeta approached the bereaved warrior. "Kakarot, I admire you for your courage and dedication, but the Princess is not with us anymore." He swallowed, for he felt really uncomfortable upon saying those words. He wanted to cry because of what happened to one of his children but as much as possible, King Vegeta is trying to get a hold of himself. He is the King, and kings aren't supposed to cry and shed tears.
"Tomorrow, we will hold a memorial for the Princess.." King Vegeta said as he slowly left the room, with Prince Trunks following him. Kara also went out, leaving Kakarot to grieve and lament for his lost love.
"Why did you leave me, Princess? Where would I be now that you are gone? I love you, and you are my only reason for living. Without you, I don't know what I'll do.." He said as he continued to cry. Tears blinded his eyes as he hugged the Princess close to him. He then looked at her pale face, making him cry more tears as he did so.
Then all of a sudden, he felt something.
Kakarot looked at the Princess once more. He wasn't sure, but he thought that he felt something from her. It seemed like a faint energy signal.
Energy signal?
Kakarot placed two fingers at the side of her neck and was surprised to feel a very faint and weak pulse. The Princess is still alive! However her energy signal and pulse are too weak that he almost did not feel it a while ago.
Kakarot's heart was beating fast as he took the bottle filled with antidote and opened the Princess' mouth. He made her drink some of the antidote from the bottle. Then he wiped away the few drops that trickled at the side of her mouth. He laid her gently back on the bed, and waited.
Much to his surprise and delight, her eyes fluttered a few moments after she had taken the antidote. She opened them, and smiled when she saw him by her bedside.
"K-Kakarot... You came back..." She said as she reached up and stroked his cheek.
He placed his hand above hers. "Yes, Princess. I am here now." He said to her.
Princess Bulla frowned when she saw the tears flowing out of his eyes. "Why are you crying, my love?" She asked as she wiped them away.
Kakarot smiled at her. "Nothing.. I was just happy."
Princess Bulla looked at him, confused. "Happy? Because of what?"
"Because I was able to save the one I love the most. Because you are alive and in a matter of days, you are going to get better and be cured at last." He answered as he cupped her face. "I love you, Princess. You mean everything to me." He said, his voice full of emotion.
Princess Bulla smiled back at him. "I love you too, Kakarot. Your love saved me from death, and I thank you for that. I am happy and very lucky to have someone like you. I love you... So much." She replied as Kakarot closed the distance between them and kissed her lips.
