Chapter 6: "Borrowed" Some Help
Bulma woke, slowly opening her eyes and staring blearily up at the ceiling. What had happened? Oh yeah, my parents have gone missing…MY PARENTS ARE MISSING! She bolted upright looking around frantically.
"GOKU!!!" She panted, on the verge of hyperventilating. Where was he? She frowned thinking for a moment. All she could remember was realizing her parents were gone and then fainting. She quickly threw the covers back and got up. Her towel threatened to slip and she quickly made a grab for it. Well I suppose first order of business is to get dressed…she walked into the bathroom where she had left her clothes like a total klutz. Can't very well go around practically naked and expect to get anything done. She nodded as she got dressed, agreeing with herself. How can you be so calm at a time like this? She frowned, she was scared for her parents…but she was utterly calm about the matter. Well you're the genius, you figure it out…or did you forget how big a brain you had? Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Her brain sneered at her.
"Oh will you shut up!" She yelled out loud. "Didn't I tell you earlier to shut up? Because I recall quite clearly telling you to shut up because I had enough problems on my hands…" She nodded, with a hmph vibrating along her throat. No you didn't…her brain taunted.
"What do you mean no I didn't? Of course I did…I said it to you in the bathroom.." But her voice sounded a bit unsure. You never finished your statement you baka…or did you forget?
"What on earth are you talking about?" She walked out of the bathroom heading for the kitchen and stopped dead in her tracks. Her mind flashed back on earlier. She didn't…she hadn't finished saying that….her mind flashed back on the morning..."Oh just shut up will ya…I have enough proble.." She began and then realized that Vegeta had returned and was staring amused at her. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!?" She snapped at him.
"I just came back for my training clothes that I left in here, but if you're too busy then I can come again another time…" Vegeta smirked.
"No, I'm not busy at all you baka, take your clothes and go." She picked his clothes up and shoved them against his chest. Vegeta grabbed them before she let go. "Get out of the bathroom, out of the hallway, hell you can just fucking leave the damn house and go live somewhere ELSE!" She screamed, her breath coming in heavy gulps. "Take your shit and go! I'm so tired of you and your fucking pride it's not even funny!" She slammed the door closed in his face, locking it.
"Vegeta…" She said through a shaky breath. She looked up closing her eyes, breathing very carefully. She tried to hide the tears that threatened to protrude down her face. NO! You will not cry. You know you want to cry…go on and cry…it's good for you.
"Shut up…just shut up! You've caused enough problems for me already! You've ruined my entire day! Possibly my life!" She screamed, angrily, tears of part sorrow and part anger washing over her face. She waited a moment, waiting for that echoing voice in her head…it didn't happen. Taking deep breaths and calming herself, Bulma prepared herself for the important situation pushing any thoughts of the sexy Saiyan aside. Her parents. Where had they gone? Maybe they simply didn't want the lab anymore. Yeah…and maybe pigs can fly, she snorted. She suddenly stopped…well I would have never thought people could fly…but look at those Saiyans. Vegeta could fly…he could fly along with so many other things…like make me tight with pleasure and send chills down my spine with that sexy voice of…she shook her head violently. Get a hold of yourself! Your parents could be dead and you're thinking about Vegeta! She snorted and headed for the kitchen again. She walked to the phone and quickly jumped in surprise when she heard a loud screech.
"OH! I'm so sorry!" She said in a rush of air as the black form of that cat went bolting out of the kitchen (poor kitty :S). Bulma had stepped on it's tail and that's pretty much its weak point. Bulma smiled, kind of like a Saiyan. I guess it does make sense. Every time you pull a Saiyan's tail they lose a good amount of control due to pain, it's the same with cats…but the Saiyans weren't part cat. She frowned, they were in fact part monkey if anything…monkey's were so playful…but…only Goku's bloodline was playful…Vegeta wasn't playful at all. He was fierce…vigorous…enticing. So…aggressive, she said in her head dreamily. Kind of like in those little dream fantasies of yours? Her voice laughed at her sudden embarrassment.
"What…did…I say!?" She yelled angrily. There was no answer. Good. Right…she frowned. The phone was placed upside down in its cradle. She grinned idiotically when she thought…Goku must have tried using it. Poor Saiyan, not up with technology now is he. He must have went to the actual place he was trying to phone since he couldn't work the little piece of technology. It was funny how behind on technology he was, after all…the Saiyan's were a very sophisticated race…brutal but very sophisticated. She sighed, her mind kept drifting off, and the funny thing was…knowing the possibility of her parents could be dead…she still kept trailing off. She sighed picking up the phone…she was going to call Goku to get some answers.

"Are we almost there woman!?" We've been flying for ages!" Vegeta's grumpy voice came from behind Luana. She smirked and shook her head, she loved his impatience for some reason…it wasn't the lack of patience she loved…it was the fact he had no patience because he was anxious. He was actually anxious!
"Yeah…right…NOW!" She quickly let her Ki disappear completely, falling free style through the sky towards the ground. Vegeta's eyes widened some as he stopped, floating in the air, watching her body fall very fast towards the ground. The Z warriors were still a bit behind…so they wouldn't be there for a few more minutes.
"Are you crazy woman!!!?" Vegeta hollered. Luana smiled, hearing Vegeta's voice like a distant dream as she put her arms out straight in front of her like a dive, picking up speed. Closing her eyes, she let the feel of the force field hit her body. She let it take her freely, and she was engulfed.
***
Vegeta's eyes widened. The air had just suddenly rippled when she had gotten to a certain point!. She hit something…and then was gone!
"Woman!?" Where did you go!?" He looked a bit unsure…but he dropped his Ki completely as Luana had done, free falling from the sky. He thought about it for a moment as he dived aimlessly, he got an idea. He flared his Ki and put on a burst of speed. He was a few seconds from where she had disappeared. He reached the point and went straight through…nothing happened…he stopped, looking up. Why hadn't it worked? He pondered for a moment. He sighed, perhaps he had to do it exactly as she had done. He flew back up where he had begun, the Z warriors now arriving.
"Where's Luana?" Yamtcha said blushing. His voice had a hint of admiring in it. Vegeta rolled his eyes, Goddess this guy was pathetic. He smirked and looked around at the fighters.
"See ya later.." He waved and dropped his Ki once again. He closed his eyes as he fell, hearing the unison gasp of everyone else just as he let his Ki down. The air felt cool against his face, throw his hair and over his body. Crossing his arms over his chest he fell upside down in his usual cocky standing position. Legs slightly apart, a sexy smirk on his face, and his arms crossed. Even falling from the sky it was his favorite pose. Then he felt it…it hit like a brick wall. He struggled and it felt like he was choking. He tried to take in deep breaths of air but every time he tried to he felt shorter and shorter of breath. If he didn't get a breath of air soon he was going to pass out. Then he thought of it…Luana had totally relaxed before she got there…he could literally see the tension in her body leak out before she hit. He had to relax or he was going to burst. He thought…what makes me calm? What makes me calm!? DAMN IT!? Oh…yeah! The thought of an Aqua eyed beauty came drifting through his mind…he could feel himself easing. Air came to him slowly, he took in deep breaths, his body completely relaxing now. He felt himself slowly floating down and he opened his eyes. His jaw dropped completely. He was in a gravitational room. Luana was near the gravity machine. It was on anti-gravity instead of adding more gravity. There was a little loop sticking up from the ground where she was standing. She had her foot in it, to prevent herself from floating about like Vegeta was doing at the moment.
"Get me down from here this instant woman!" He demanded. She smirked.
"Get down yourself.." His following growl caused her to laugh in amusement. He looked so cute floating about…but still managed to look threatening if he wanted as well…it was pure talent.
"I'm warning you woman if you…" He began but she cut him off laughing.
"Warning me!? HA! You want down…HERE YOU GO!" She turned the gravity up to 200 and he slammed right into the ground, smashing his face up a bit. He could hear her mocking laughter ringing in his ears, but he smirked. 200x's gravity was nothing to him, it had just caught him off guard is all. He stood rather easily, blood dripping down the corner of his mouth and nose.
"Wee…" He said sarcastically smirking as he licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Let's do that again sometime.." She frowned at him and he used the back of his hand to wipe the blood dripping from his nose.
"Wow…pretty impressive.." She nodded…she had to give him that much.
"Not bad yourself woman…I see you're having no problems with the gravity either…" He said. Did I just compliment her? Vegeta just shook it off mentally and crossed his arms. She smirked in amusement, staring up above Vegeta's head. Vegeta looked up and smirked as well, for it was a wonderful sight. You may not have been able to see what was beyond the field from the outside…but from the inside you could see everything outside perfectly.
"If they don't stop struggling they're going to suffocate you know.." She said, tilting her head some.
"I know.." Vegeta smirked arrogantly, wanting to make them suffer for awhile. The Z warriors were trapped in the thick energy of the field, struggling for their dear lives. Vegeta was considering whether to tell them or not…he'd let them suffer. He just yawned and simply turned to Luana.
"What?" She asked a bit softly, as if afraid to speak any louder.
"Why does it work like that?" He said impatiently.
"Why does what work like how?" She said innocently, truthfully not knowing what he was talking about. Vegeta sneered. Her sudden change of attitude was weird but he heaved a sigh, patience thrown to the wind.
"THE FIELD WOMAN! USE THAT PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS!" He yelled, his voice echoing off the walls. She nearly jumped but her head lowered, keeping her eyes on him in dangerous measures.
"Do…not…speak…to me…in such…a tone.." She said carefully, anger threading through her words like fine wine, her accent slurring heavily with every word.
He walked smoothly up to her and looked down a bit "I will speak in any tone I find fit…woman." He ridiculed. She raised on tiptoe, her lips right near his as if she were going to kiss him. She wanted to…but she could control herself.
"This is my …people's ship…you will respect us…while on board is that understood!" She screamed in his face.
"Whoa…don't they have toothbrushes where you come from?" Vegeta smirked at her astonished face. He had felt her urge…felt her pull…he knew she wanted him…but he didn't say anything about it
"Do me a favor.." She snorted.
"No.." He said shortly and brushed past her through a doorway he had just noticed.
"Get back here right this instant!" She demanded running after him. She ran in front of him and blocked his way, arms spread out full length to her sides. "You will not go any further into this facility until the Sire says so." She said glaring at him, something dangerous haunting in her eyes. Vegeta couldn't help but respond to that danger…his dark obsidian eyes going completely blank, showing nothing. No fear, no pain, no pity, no nothing…just that cold blank stare. She shivered under that stare, feeling like a rabbit caught in the headlights of an on-coming car. Unable to move, unable to register that danger was close. She was completely aware of how dangerous he was, and the only difference between the rabbit and herself was….she had invited this danger…she took this danger to her `burrow'…like leading a fox to her borrow…a very unwise thing to do. She dropped her gaze, not moving from his path. She couldn't stand looking into the deep obsidian eyes for much longer. That gaze showed nothing…and that was a scary thought. I don't know anyone who can do that…she thought to herself, a soft frown forming on her face. Vegeta just watched her conflict with herself, keeping all emotion easily off his face. After all, he did it all the time…hiding his emotions. Kind of like with Bulma…his mind flashed back on the beauty he had been living with for some time. She was so beautiful, and he had been a fool and let her slip away. He let anger fill his eyes…rage as he clenched his fists. NO! I will not let her get away…this will be my chance to prove myself to her…I will fight any challenge that comes along, I will rise to the top and show that woman how strong I truly am, and how worthy I am to claim her as mine!
"Well when do we know when this …SIRE…," He said haughtily, literally making Luana jump out of her mental conflict, "wants us to come down?" She stared up into his eyes, the only thing she got in those eyes was the smallest traces of anger and anticipation. Her race had been taught to read….to feed off of the emotions in the eyes of anything they came across. It was a very shameful thing to be an Azul warrior and not be able to read someone's eyes. She hadn't been able to read his for the briefest of moments…but those few moments could have meant her entire reputation…her life.
"The Sire will contact me as soon as ready…" She said shrugging and slowly lowering her arms. "Until then we will go back into the gravity room and see how your friends are doing."
"They are not my friends…" Vegeta shot back disdainfully. He turned his back to her and went the way he had just come from. How dare she call them my friends, I don't like any of them, and to THINK! He thought loathing…that Kakerot is among that very group. He snorted aloud and shook his head, entering the gravity room once again. Luana followed close behind…and when she entered she couldn't help but let out a small sigh of disappointment. The "Z" warriors were fine…they were laying on the floor in a big heap breathing quite heavily….but they were fine nonetheless. Luana liked to see death…but when the thought that they were there to help her crossed her mind she let the disappointment slide and walked to the heap. Vegeta tilted his head in amusement. He couldn't see baldy, so obviously Krillen had been the first one to drop through and was squashed underneath everyone else…Kakerot being on top was the last. He let out a small arrogant laugh, it didn't surprise him in the least that Kakerot had been the last one to figure it out.
"Glad you guys finally decided to join us, and for a moment there I thought we were going to have to wait all day for your sorry tails…" Vegeta's voice shot through their ears and they all looked up. He hid the smile of amusement that threatened to play across his face. They looked immensely funny in that heap trying to all look up at once. Vegeta frowned, realizing that Luana had never answered his question about the force field.
"Luana…answer my question…why does it work like that?" Vegeta shot at her. Luana's mouth gaped a bit at that sudden random subject change. She sighed trying to think of the best way to put it.
"You remember how you put your…" She frowned trying to think of the word, "Ki? I believe that's what you call it…up and tried flying straight through the barrier?" She watched him nod in confirmation. "Well this is our spaceship and it like so many other things has defense mechanisms, one is that anything that can fly this high has to have some sort of power. The ship is powered by "Ki" you see…any unfamiliar power and it'll just reflect it and you'll go straight through us, as if our ship weren't even here so that we stay unknown." She looked at Vegeta to make sure he was following her explanation. When she saw he understood she continued "Now, anyone either strong enough or smart enough to feel the power when they fly through us to know that we are here and try to get in…" She stopped a moment and pointed up at the barrier "This is what we call the soft spot of the ship, the only way to get in or out of the ship. If they happen to find this particular part, which would be very hard considering the size of our ship, then when they try to get in, they will continue to fly through it since they will be trying to fly into the barrier. The reason that you feel as if you're choking if you struggle coming through the barrier is just a sense of mind…you aren't really choking, it's a mind trap…but if the mind believes that you are really choking…you will die…the mind is a very dangerous thing.." She stiffened at the smirk on Vegeta's face as he nodded. Vegeta tilted his head and looked over at the heap of "warriors". If this barrier works on how calm you can…how come Krillen is on bottom? He's the one that panics the most…and Kakerot…he's the one that always keeps his cool in tough situations.
"Everyone get up now!" Vegeta demanded with an air of authority. His voice held the edge of danger…it threaded throw is words like a consistent intricate design. Goku seemed more than happy to comply as he quickly rolled, literally rolled, right off the top of the pile to his feet. He was rubbing his head and back at the same time.
"One of you could have at least warned us that was going to happen.." He whined closing one of his eyes as he rubbed the small of his back.
"Quit being a baby Kakerot and deal with it…at least you didn't have to meet the floor at 200x's gravity…" He smirked at Luana, who turned away to hide the suddenly flaming red color that plagued her cheeks.
"Ouch…that would have hurt more!" Goku said enthusiastically. Vegeta rolled his eyes and crossed well muscled arms over a very nice chest. Next to be standing was the disgruntled Piccolo. He had been tangled in his cape and was now fixing the lengthened cloth. Vegeta stared at whoever was left on the floor. He was betting that Yamtcha was going to be the last one up. He was right…Despite the fact that Krillen was on the very bottom, he had shoved Yamtcha off of himself and caught up. Yamtcha still lay on the floor while Tien, Krillen, and Gohan had gotten up. Vegeta gritted his teeth, he despised the scar faced warrior that lay at his Saiyan booted feet. He hated him with an ever lasting passion that burned in turn with a pure unguided rage.
"Luana…how resistant are these walls?" Vegeta said blandly. She frowned and turned back around, fully recovered from the blush that had swept over her cheeks a few minutes before.
"They're pretty strong but I don't see why you'd want to know ho.." She yelped along with the rest of the warriors as Yamtcha went flying into the wall, smashing into it at full force. The wall cracked up fairly badly and he slid to the floor, unconscious. Blood seeped from underneath his body. Vegeta smirked, probably a cracked skull…would serve him right. Yamtcha had broken Bulma's heart the week prior. He had received her heart…then without even a second thought stabbed it with a dull bladed knife. How he had ever earned her heart was beyond Vegeta…but he had…and he had destroyed it by cheating on her. Why he ever wanted to cheat on such a beautiful Goddess was also beyond Vegeta…but he didn't care what the fighter's motives were…he still despised him. He smirked wider, purely satisfied and turned his back to everyone.
"VEGETA!? Why'd you have to go and do that!?" Came Goku's voice, purely shocked at his rash actions. Arrogant laughter filled the air, making Krillen and some of the other fighters cringe.
"I hate weaklings…and even baldy got up before him…now that is quite embarrassing…now don't question my intentions further…" He said dangerously, his voice low and warning. As he walked over to the wall he had just kicked Yamtcha into, he thought of another question. He frowned leaning against the wall and lightly (AN:…just think of what Vegeta's version of lightly is when it comes to Yamtcha hehe ^_^') kicked Yamtcha's still form.
"What are we waiting for?" Piccolo said slowly. Vegeta beat Luana to the answer.
"We're waiting for some...'Sire' to contact Luana and tell us we can come visit…" He said shortly and then decided to ask his newly formed question. "How did you build this room?"
"What do you mean…?" She questioned, clearly perplexed. He sighed, wondering why people could be clearly so stupid sometimes.
"I MEAN…" He said gritting his teeth, teetering on the edge of patience, "how did you know how to create a gravitational room?" She made a face like `Ohhh" and smiled. Just as she opened her mouth to answer she looked at her arm. She tapped the bend of her elbow and there was a small clicking sound.
"Luana here.." She said with her forearm in front of her mouth and looked as if she was listening to something. "Yes Sire, we're ready." She nodded as if talking to someone. "Be right there Sire…" She tapped the bend of her arm again and another clicking sound sounded. She looked up at everyone and smiled at their perplexed faces. "The Sire will see us now…follow me…" She turned to go and walked out the door. Everyone stood there…staring around from each of their faces trying to find an answer. About 2 minutes later Luana walked back in frowning.
"Luana…who…what….how did you do that?" Goku asked curiously.
"OH! Sorry, our race has communicators embedded in our arms for a defense mechanism, when we are being called it sends a light vibrating sensation down our arms. The on and off mechanism is triggered at the bend of the elbow. Talking piece is here.." She pointed at the middle of her forearm, "and the listening piece is implanted here.." She pointed to her left ear and nodded as everyone looked like that had cleared everything up. "Now lets go.." She turned to go again.
"Wait Luana, you never answered my question…you're good at pushing them aside..."Vegeta's voice sharply. Her body stiffened at the sharp edge of his voice. She quickly realized her foul up and turned, relaxing and smiled.
"Oh, that?" She pointed at the gravity machine, "We borrowed some help.." She smirked and walked back out the door at his confused face. This time the Z warriors followed leaving Yamtcha to fend for his own when he woke up, they were off to see the Sire.
***
Bulma slammed the phone back on the hook. NOBODY WAS HOME! Geesh, how come nobodies home today? She bit thoughtfully on her thumb for a moment. Maybe they were all at Master Roshi's house? No…they don't hang around there much anymore…perhaps the look out? Yeah! That's it! They're at the look out! She nodded as if to confirm the theory, slamming the side of her fist against her palm smirking.
"I'm just too brilliant for my own good!" She nodded enthusiastically. What about my parents though? Well since Goku knew about it…he was probably taking care of it…she sighed. Well…since I can't actually do anything about it at the moment…might as well take a nap. She went to her bedroom and laid down in her bed with her clothes on. She curled up in a tight ball and smiled easily drifting asleep…gladly welcoming the dreams of Vegeta that followed. (AN:…Ya'll know the ones I'm talking about :P)
***
They followed Luana down several hallways and corridors, through dozens of doors and archways. They were on their way to see the `legendary' Sire. Vegeta snorted, that was all Luana could talk about ever since they had left the gravitational room. Vegeta had been staring at their surroundings the whole time, maybe to be able to find his way around afterwards…but everywhere they had been had been the same. Every wall and floor was the same color…a deep red with a small hint of brown…like drying blood. Vegeta stopped, noticing small thin swirling lines along the walls. They were such intricate designs and he tried to make out the complexity of them. He tilted his head frowning…it actually looked like a form of writing. The swirling lines were done in a deep black. He looked around, the group had vanished but it didn't really bother him much. He used the tip of his white gloved index finger to trace along the lines…it actually looked very similar to Saiyan…his native tongue. He stepped back quickly as the writing he had been tracing with his finger flared bright blue, then to a soft gold and then faded slowly back to black. He blinked for a few seconds and then followed his finger along a different pattern. It flared bright blue, but this time he didn't step back, he kept following the design until it ended. Just when the blue was about to turn to the soft gold it flared bright orange and Vegeta hit his back against the opposite wall as the hallway shook.
"What the …" Vegeta levitated off the ground so that he wasn't being thrown with the hallway. He rubbed his head where debris had been falling from the ceiling and hitting his head. One particular piece of the ceiling had come off in a chunk and hit him directly at the base of his skull. He closed one eye as he rubbed the sore spot.
"VEGETA!" Luana shook her head floating over to him. "What did you do!?" She glared and looked over at the wall. "Did you touch anything?" Her voice sounded as if she were talking to a trouble making child.
"Some writing on the wall!" He yelled over the noise the trembling hallway was making. "I traced one of the words…or phrases with my finger!" He growled at her patronizing look. She floated over to the wall, frantically searching for something. She found a word and sung it out, smearing her finger across it as she did. The room immediately stopped shaking. Vegeta touched down on the ground again, crossing his arms.
"There…don't touch anything!" She touched down in front of him.
"What is that!?" He glared at her, gesturing towards the walls. "There's writing all over the walls, everywhere."
"They're more defense mechanisms, no time to explain…" She grabbed one of his crossed arms and yanked him down the hallway. It caught him by surprise but he quickly regained his composure and yanked his arm free.
"I can walk myself woman, I don't need to be dragged…hmph…" He re-crossed his arms and followed her down the hall. She tried to hurry him but he walked at his own pace, ignoring her rushed antsy-ness. After about 3 minutes of walking they reached a door. It looked the same as any other but Luana quickly smeared her finger across one of the words and the door raised up. She stepped in and Vegeta followed, guess this was the Sire's room.
***
Screams of pleasure filled the room, echoing off the walls as Vegeta thrust himself harder into Bulma's slick wetness.
"VEGETA!" Bulma screamed scraping her nails down his back, throwing her head back in pleasure combined with pain. Vegeta continued to thrust hard and fast, showing no sign of slowing as he slid his hands over her slick sweat covered body. He could feel her building…he could feel the tension that was building deep inside her, waiting for that moment…for the release when he would bring her to an orgasm. He smirked his triumph smirk as he thrust a bit faster, causing her to writhe beneath him, crying out. One final rough thrust and she arched her back, eyes squeezed shut and screamed out with everything she had. She was engulfed in the overwhelming pull of an orgasm. Her body shuddered violently with the force of it and she fell back, swallowing gulps of air as she saw black spots in her vision. She remembered reading somewhere that some orgasms were so violent that the female could `pass out', but this was that version of passing out, it was a mere slur of vision. She panted squeezing her eyes shut as Vegeta continued to thrust deep inside of her. She arched her back screaming her throat raw, the pleasure and pain was too much to handle..
"VEGETA!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed and realized she was sitting up awake screaming this time with her eyes squeezed shut. Her breathing was labored and she opened one eye, keeping the other eye squeezed shut. Sweat slowly slid in big droplets down her face. She remembered that she had been napping and muttered.
"Damn it…too bad it wasn't real…" She sighed, rolled over and closed her eyes, falling asleep once again.
***
The Z warriors were in the room beyond the door Vegeta had just entered with Luana. This room, much to Vegeta's surprise was pure blue, deep drowning midnight blue, matching the color or Luana's eyes. He didn't see any writing along the walls in this room and frowned. If this is the `Sire's' room…then why of all the rooms is there no defense mechanisms? He shook his head and shrugged. Goku was staring at him and tilted his head. One growl from Vegeta and Goku laughed nervously.
"So…" Goku said, "What are we doing in an empty room?" Everyone nodded their wonderment.
"The Sire will arrive when…" Luana began but dropped to one knee, kneeling. Everyone looked puzzled and she whispered hastily "Get down.." Everyone shrugged and got down on their knees…everyone except Vegeta.
"Vegeta get down.." Goku pleaded.
"I kneel to no one.." He crossed his arms defiantly. I kneel to no one, he repeated in his head smirking. Especially not anyone else's leader. He added cockily. The room swirled, changing. It expanded and spun. Vegeta had to hide the fact that he was getting nauseated from it. Everyone else though…wasn't doing so well. Krillen's face was turning a faint green color along with Goku and the rest…he couldn't really tell with Piccolo. Slowly the room stopped spinning. It was quite un-nerving but when it did, it was still the same blue color it had been before. The room was bigger and the floor seemed to ripple with any movement. There was writing on the walls now, done in a very bright shimmering silver, like liquid purity…like if something were pure…it would be THAT silver color. The floor rippled violently, like a wind storm had started beneath the surface and part of it began to lift, like the floor itself was forming into something in front of everyone. It slowly took a form, a human figure. Vegeta frowned…the form looked a lot like a..
"Hello Luana…you have served me well.." Came a sweet accent just like Luana's but the voice was a lot more candy like, less dangerous than Luana's. Woman. Vegeta finished in his head.
"Thank you Sire, I am happy to serve you as always.." She replied happily.
"But what is this?" The figure gained features very slowly. "One of your group seems to be a glutton for punishment." Her eyes formed first, a deep drowning blue, like forbidden tropical waters.
"He is ignorant Sire, but if it were not for him none would be here.." Luana said hastily trying to keep the Prince out of too much trouble.
"Ah I see, I believe you referred to him as… `the blood thirsty one' if I'm not mistaken?" She laughed full throated as her hair formed, in tight spiraling waves of golden perfection. Her body was still blue though…it looked quite odd. "Tell me…blood thirsty warrior…what kind of race are you?" She said amused.
"I am the Prince of the Saiyan race, which was destroyed some time ago by a sick-minded newt named Freiza…me and Kakerot the clown over there.." Vegeta pointed to Goku, "are the last two Saiyans alive…unless you want to count his halfling son that is.." He smirked at Gohan's sudden growl.
"Ah yes, I've heard many things of the Saiyan race, their ruthless manners and love for a good fight.." Her lips had formed and they were full and sensual as she smiled sweetly, "planet Vegeta was it not?" She smiled wider at his sudden smirk. He nodded and re-crossed his arms. The blue figure turned to Luana once more.
"Is my Sire pleased?" She asked softly, carefully.
"Am I pleased!?" She frowned and Luana seemed to shrink. "Why child…I'm absolutely ecstatic!" She smiled wide and Luana let out a relieved breath.
"Thank you Sire, shall we tell them about our intentions?" She looked up from her kneeling position. It wasn't that bad since the `Sire' was only 4'11 at most. Her skin took tone and it was the most extraordinary of bronze colors. It looked as if she was an Egyptian Goddess with skin so fine toned. Like shimmering metallic, she was like a carved statue in all her splendor, and she seemed bathe in her own field of power. Her power flowed through the room until it feel like you could either walk on it like it was a visible force or choke on the energy. The weaker of the Z warriors flinched as the power swirled around them engulfing them in a light glow of radiance.
Vegeta flared his Ki, keeping her power out of his energy field "What the hell are you doing?" He said in a demanding tone. Her bright shimmering silver energy flamed where it clashed into Vegeta's deep drowning blue. The two energies mingled beautifully together. I can't believe her! Vegeta yelled in his head. She's testing me! He pushed at her energy with his and hers wavered…just for a moment…a split second, but that's all it took, she retreated her power. She smiled sweetly and looked at him proudly as if he had just passed some sort of test.
"I DO NOT LIKE TO BE TESTED!" Vegeta's voice echoed off the walls like a dangerous wind. His energy flared brighter and the Sire walked up to him staring up into his eyes. She stared into the depths of those obsidian eyes and smirked. She liked him very much…he had great potential and would be perfect in their plans.
"Alright where do I begin?" She said smiling and sat down gracefully on the floor, while everyone gathered around.

"So what you're saying is…these…planet raiders are going from planet to planet and destroying everything…for the fun of it?" Piccolo said slowly, and the Sire nodded her head.
"At the moment the planet raiders are fighting a fierce battle with Montenegro, our neighboring planet." She said smiling "Montenegro means black mountain, and Monteazul, our planet, means Blue mountain, see the two planets used to be one but for some reason separated long ago." She sighed somewhat wistfully. "Anyhow, so will you guys help us?" She said blankly but her eyes were pleading.
"Well…it sounds dangerous…" Krillen said a bit unsure.
"You can most definitely count me in!" Vegeta smirked clenching his fist bending his elbow inwards. "It sounds fun…" He scanned his eyes over everyone, his smirk widening.
"Yeah! Let's do it!" Goku joined in.
"Well if dads in then you can sure bet I'm in too!" Gohan stood up looking determined. The rest of the Z warriors stayed silent.
"Cowards!" Vegeta's voice cut sharply through the silence. "You're all a disgrace to fighters everywhere…hmph!" He growled turning his back to everyone, closing his eyes crossing his arms. "I don't know why you people even bothered bringing your coward asses if you weren't going to contribute.." He smirked letting out a soft arrogant laugh
"We are not cowards!!" Tien got up and growled, forgetting who he was challenging. Vegeta smirked but let his face fall blank as he turned around staring into 2 of Tien's eyes. He let his beast flash behind his eyes, just for a split second but it was enough to make Tien flinch and take a step back. When he realized he had done it he stepped forward taking the step back. He growled.
"COUNT ME IN! I AM NO COWARD!" Tien stared into Vegeta's deep dark obsidian eyes, they were bottomless pits…you'd get more emotions out of a tree then out of those obsidian stones. A violent shiver ran down Tien's spine as he stared into those cold rocks, those lifeless eyes, but he didn't back down. A very evil smirk pulled at Vegeta's face, and still somehow his eyes stayed emotionless…empty. Tien shivered violently again and looked away…Vegeta won.
"You have guts…I'll give you that…but you are foolish…" Vegeta smirked turning back around and closing his eyes once again.
"Guu…ys…" Came a muffled groan from outside the door.
"Well well, the weakling has finally decided to join us." Vegeta's smirk widened as he stepped to the door. He stared at the writing that flowed over the door to continue around the walls in phrases and words. Hmmm…if this is anything like Saiyan…then…this might be the word rise…which could be the door…or could be something else. Vegeta contemplated in his head pointing out a rather long word. He lifted his finger to point at another word. If this were Saiyan…that word would be something very similar to open or close…he frowned. It had been a very long time since he had seen Saiyan writing…but he did remember some of the letters. He began tracing the second word he had looked at, where he traced flaring a bright blue and then he stopped in the middle of the word, stopping and turning around. The words glowed a soft red this time and faded back to silver.
"Luana…do I have to say these out or can I just trace my finger along it?" Vegeta said slowly, thoughtfully.
"Actually…you can just smear these ones.." She said carefully, "but the wrong one could be very bad so I don't think you shou.." Luana was cut off by one motion of the Sire's hand.
"Which do you think will open the door Warrior?" Her candy voice flooded through the room as she smiled sweetly staring at Vegeta. Vegeta turned around and pointed to a word, not bothering to look over his shoulder to confirm himself.
"If this is anything like Saiyan…which it looks a lot like…this word is very similar to open…or possibly close…I'm not sure which…" He smeared his finger across the word and instead of it flaring blue first it just burst to a bright glowing white. It seemed to be melting away, the word was becoming invisible, the door began to disappear and Vegeta stepped back. Everyone was in awe staring at the amazing reality of it. There Yamtcha stood when the entire door had `melted' away. Vegeta smirked and Yamtcha literally turned around flinching and took off down the hallway.
"Ahhh," Vegeta said smirking sarcastically, "and I wanted him to be my new punching bag…I don't know why he'd run.." Laughing he phased out of everyone's view. He appeared right in front of Yamtcha who slammed right into him, falling back on the floor. "Aww, I hope I didn't hurt you…wait…no I don't." Vegeta threw his head back, arrogant laughter rebounding off the walls. There was almost an insane texture to the laugh and Yamtcha whimpered.
"VEGETA!" Goku walked over with his serious face set into place. Vegeta snarled at him. "You will not hurt Yamtcha any further than you already have." He stepped in front of Yamtcha who was curled up on the ground and faced Vegeta.
"Says who Kakerot? You?" His voice was low, a whisper that held the force of a raging storm. Vegeta stepped closer to Goku, his body almost touching Goku's and he stared up into Goku's serious eyes. It was an odd gesture for Vegeta to do but he did it now…and he wanted to reach out and rip Goku's throat out, he wanted to kill him…but he knew now was not the time to do that. Goku stood his ground, even seeing the hatred that sat haunting in Vegeta's eyes. Even seeing the killer that moved behind those dark drowning eyes he stood his ground, he would not be intimidated.
"Yes, says me Vegeta.." Goku said slow and soft. He was being careful on his choice of words. He could feel that tension that was building and was worried, not necessarily scared, that Vegeta would just snap. They hadn't noticed that they were surrounded by people now, the Z warriors had come out to take a look at what was going on.
"Warriors…" Came the Sire's candy coated voice. "Now is not the time for a rivalry battle…lots of work has to be done and you must prepare, we need you two alive and in 100% good condition.." She stepped up to the side of them, staring up at both of them as their eyes flicked to her face. Her face was blank but pleasant, a sure smile set in place. They looked back at each other, making a silent stale mate for the time being.
"Fine, where we going next? The armory room?" Vegeta snorted.
"No.." Luana said stepping up to them. "Like I said…we borrowed some help…now we must return them to you." Her and the Sire set off down the hall, where they were going was beyond anyone else. Vegeta shrugged and followed, he seemed to be doing a lot of that lately. I hope you know what I'm doing for you woman…I'm doing all of this for you…I lo…I need you in my life. It was all Vegeta could do not to let the tears that stung his eyes, slide down his face.

"I need you too Vegeta…hold on…" Bulma said as she stared at him walking down a strange hallway she had not seen ever before. Suddenly the world swirled black and she was falling. Falling freely down into the darkness…the air around her whipped at her back and neck, throwing her hair carelessly about. She closed her eyes, her thoughts echoing in the darkness. Vegeta…I'm coming to you…please hold on…we will be together…please…wait for me. She could hear crying and she realized it was her own. I love you…my sweet arrogant prince. She opened her eyes, the darkness growing lighter…she was falling into the light…reaching for the surface. She spun in circles, the world shifting again. She grabbed at her throat as she was trapped in a sea of water. She could see the reflection of light that lay above her head. She swam frantically, trying to reach the surface but it seemed like it wasn't getting any nearer. She reached out with her hand and couldn't reach it…she was going to drown…drown in this sea. Please don't let me drown, I need to get to my prince. She swam further and her head finally broke through the surface. She threw her head back gasping for air. She looked around, this water was so clear it seemed so unreal. She licked her lips, it tasted salty…sweet and salty. She was swimming in an ocean of her own tears. She heard voices in the distance. One sounded so much like Vegeta's…she had to get to him… had to tell him how she felt.

"Bulma!" Goku continued to shake her.
"I'm telling you Kakerot…that woman sleeps like a fuc…like a rock." He grinned at Goku's hard glare.
"BULMA!" Goku nudged her.
"What!?" Bulma nearly screamed groggily.
"We found your parents…" He said smiling…she hadn't been awake for two seconds and she was already yelling. That was Bulma for you.
She kept her eyes closed but smiled "Good, who's with you?"
"Vegeta right here and the rest of the gang is out in the kitchen." He leaned down to kiss her forehead, but nearly smashed his head against hers as she bolted upright, her eyes flying wide. She quickly glanced at Vegeta who turned his back and walked out the door. She lowered her head trying not to cry.
"Where were they Goku?" She said softly, her voice cracked a bit.
"On a spaceship…" He laughed nervously.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY DOING THERE!?" She screamed and it bellowed through the house.
"Uh…some friends of ours…well they…" He grinned. "They borrowed some help."
