"Talking"

'Thinking'

~Flashback, End Flashback~

~Double Team Captures~

'That name again…Katriana…' thought Crystal. 'Bardock…. Raditz.'

She shook her head and laid back on Vegeta. She had to stop thinking about it. She was getting a bad migraine. Vegeta kissed her forehead and engaged the sleeping gas. They fell asleep as the space pod towards Namek where Frieza lay.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hours and days later (I don't know how long it took for him to get there), a pod landed on Namek creating a huge crater. The door opened and Vegeta stepped out, scowling as usual. He turned and saw Crystal was still sleeping. He pokes his head inside and shook her awake or at least tried to and failed.

'She must have been really tired' he thought and then mentally scowled 'That's no excuse!'

He ran his fingers on her lips and looked at them yearningly. Something about her attached him to her, but he didn't know what. He felt like kissing her and never letting her go for fear that she would disappear like Katriana. His face came closer to hers, until their lips made contact and forced his tongue inside her mouth. He wanted to explore everything.

Crystal was sleeping peacefully when she felt something on her lips, then in her mouth. She opened her eyes and found Vegeta in front of her face. She responded, which surprised him in a way and he pulled back smirking.

"About time you woke up," he declared, "Let's go onna."

She rolled her eyes and took his offered hand and got out. Looking around, she saw everything was green. It was full of grass and trees. She looked in the sky and saw something glint. She squinted and saw it was going straight for them.

"Come on onna!" shouted Vegeta.

"Vegeta-chan! Look up there!" he looked up and his eyes went wide. He ran towards Crystal and grabbed her by the waist. He flew straight up and a couple of feet away from the crater. A loud noise was heard and dust began to settle into the air, making it nearly impossible to see.

Vegeta landed on the ground and placed Crystal on her feet. He stood in front of her, protectively. He glared at the cloud of dust as if daring whoever tried to crush them to come out. And come out they did. A man with green skin (I forget if it's blue or green) stepped out, smirking at Vegeta. He wore a saiyan armor like Vegeta's and wore a scouter on his right eyes. He sort of looked like a…kiwi? He stood there with arms crossed.

"Well, well, well if it isn't the Prince of Saiyan, Vegeta!!" the man said.

Vegeta smirked, still in front of Crystal, so that he couldn't spot her. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Kiwi, the Prince of - wait! You don't have royalty blood!!" gasped Vegeta, smirking.

Kiwi growled his fist trembling. "Watch it, Vegeta. You wouldn't want to make someone stronger than you mad."

"I don't?" asked Vegeta, sarcastically, "Oh, wait! Yes, I do! Besides, you are not stronger than I! A prince! You are just a weakling!"

"Grrr…Vegeta!!" growled Kiwi. He formed two ki balls in his hands and fired them at Vegeta.

Vegeta, who forget about Crystal, dodged the two energy balls using his speed. The two ki balls went towards Crystal. She put her arms over her face as a shield and fell backwards as the ki hit her and screamed. Vegeta looked back and saw Crystal lying on the ground. He ran to her and saw she had a few bruises. He growled and looked at Kiwi menacingly. Crystal slowly got up and made herself known to Kiwi.

"A-a girl?" Kiwi asked confused, then grinned, "She looks familiar, but it must be my imagination! After all, Vegeta, Katriana is dead!! Right?"

Vegeta growled and threw a ki blast at Kiwi, unaware that Crystal had thrown one also. When he looked up to see if she was okay, he noticed her eyes were turning from turquoise to blue. (Her hair hasn't changed!) She suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious. Vegeta caught her and picked her up princess style. He wondered what had happened, but shook it off. That's when he felt two familiar ki that he had felt on Earth. Then, he felt a big one following them at a fast speed. Vegeta took the air and flew towards them as fast as he could.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Krillen! He's gaining on us!!" Cried Gohan, as they both flew as fast as they could in the sky.

"I know!!" shouted Krillen. Then, his senses picked something up. "Oh no! Vegeta's flying towards us!" (He can't pick up Crystal's ki because it's too small)

"Do something!!" shrieked Bulma, who was being carried by Krillen. "Go faster or something!!"

Krillen and Gohan stopped in midair and looked around for a hideout. Krillen spotted a cave below them and shouted to Gohan to fly down there and lower his ki. Vegeta appeared, seconds after they hid, looking around confused. What the heck happened to those kids? He concentrated better on is sense and detected a very low ki. (Bulma!!) Krillen and Gohan began to panic, knowing Bulma didn't know how to lower her ki. Vegeta landed and started looking around. Gohan and Krillen were peeking out. Gohan gasped as he saw whom Vegeta had in his arms. Crystal. Apparently, Bulma saw the same thing.

"HEY YOU!!" she started, pushing Gohan and Krillen away, who was desperately trying to shut her up. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO THAT GIRL!! HOW DARE YOU HURT HER, YOU MORON!!" (O_O she's got some lung!)

Vegeta looked their way and scowled. He walked over to them and Krillen and Gohan stepped always lowly. He stared at them menacingly when he was close enough. Before he could say anything, Dodoria landed.

"Vegeta! So you've teamed up with these humans have you?" Dodoria said.

The prince turned around and smirked and scowled at the same time. "Join them? Ah! You make me laugh!" he cried.

Dodoria noticed the girl in Vegeta's arms and recognize her immediately. So she was alive! He smirked. "Well, well, well, you found her I see. Why don't you all follow me and bring her with you? I'm sure he'll love that Katriana has come back. Come silently and I won't kill you," he said.

Vegeta smirked. "I'm much stronger than you, Dodoria. Take the brats for all I care, but the onna and I are not going anywhere."

"Wrong answer!" sneered Dodoria. He threw a powerful blast at Vegeta. Vegeta dropped to the ground and threw his body over Crystal's. He wasn't going to leave her like he did last time. Crystal's eyes fluttered open and she found Vegeta on her, their faces centimeters away. She looked around and saw a bright yellow light around them. It soon stopped and Vegeta got up, pulling Crystal up with him. Her eyes darted around and her eyes fell on Dodoria. He looked oddly familiar to her. But where had she seen him?

"Im-Impossible!! Vegeta, you could never have survived that!!" Dodoria shouted in shock.

Vegeta smirked. "I've been much more powerful ever since I came from Earth. I could defeat you without a sweat."

Dodoria back down, knowing he was telling the truth. "Look, V-Vegeta, spar my life and I'll tell you what really happened to Vegeta-sei."

Vegeta smirked and pulled Crystal closer to him. "Please, do tell. Amuse me why don't you?"

"All right, then," Dodoria sighed, relieved that he wouldn't kill him. Or so he thought. "Vegeta-sei wasn't destroyed by meteor showers at all. Frieza thought the saiyans were getting too strong so he destroyed Vegeta-sei."

To Dodoria's surprise, Vegeta smirked. "I already knew that, Dodoria. Do you take me for a fool?" He took his hand from Crystal's waist and placed it on her head so that she wouldn't see what he would do.

"But-But…" Vegeta raised his free hand and a ki ball appeared in his hand. Dodoria took air as Vegeta released the ki towards him. Dodoria screamed as he was hit with the ki ball. Vegeta felt something on his neck and looked down to see Crystal crying. Vegeta hugged and rocked her slightly, until she stopped. He picked her up, to her surprise and walked over to the shocked Krillen, Gohan, and Bulma. Gohan and Krillen stepped protectively in front of a shaking Bulma, who couldn't believe she had yelled at this guy who destroyed the pink blob in a single blast. Krillen and Gohan were also shaking, but didn't move.

When he was close enough, he looked at Bulma and said, "Something's wrong with this onna?"

"There's nothing wrong with me," declared Crystal.

"Then why'd you pass out back there?" he asked. He smirked when she said nothing. Bulma took a capsule out and out popped a table and some doctor stuff.

"Put her here," instructed Bulma.

"Looks cold," muttered Crystal. Only Vegeta heard it and he smirked. He placed her on the table and she shivered. Bulma looked at her and took out the thing that checks her heartbeat. (I don't know what it is!!) She eyed the armor.

"You're going to have to take that off," she said.

Crystal looked down at her armor and blushed. "Don't know how. Vegeta put it on for me," she said.

Bulma blinked. She looked towards Vegeta, who was ordering Gohan and Krillen to go look out for anyone outside. "VEGETA!!" she shrieked. Vegeta and Crystal winced.

"What do you want onna!?" he said, walking up to them.

"I need you to take her armor off. She doesn't know how," explained Bulma. "And my name is not onna. It's Bulma. B-U-L-M-A!!"

"Ok, O-N-N-A," he spelt out and smirked as Bulma went red. Crystal giggled.

"Hands up, onna," ordered Vegeta. Crystal immediately put her hands up. He took the armor off and Bulma gasped. The spandex part of the suit was pretty tight to her body. Bulma didn't like it one bit. Jealousy washed over her as she saw Vegeta giving Crystal a look and Crystal completely oblivious. She took out a house capsule and a small capsule dome appeared.

"I'll check you in here," Bulma said. Crystal nodded and was about to jump off when Vegeta carried her in his arms. She blinked.

"I can walk you know," she pointed out. He grunted and laid her down on the couch carefully.

Bulma came in and said, "Thanks Vegeta. Now out!"

"Are you ordering me around? No one orders the Prince of all Saiyans!" he roared.

"Too bad I am!! Now shoo!!" she said.

"I will stay here if I wish!"

"It's my capsule house so go!"

"You-" Vegeta stopped when he heard giggling. He turned around and saw Crystal was laughing at them! "What are you laughing about, onna?"

Crystal smiled sheepishly. "Oh-nothing. Why don't you just go and talk to the others? I'm fine here. It's not like she's going to kill me."

"Fine, onna." Vegeta walked out of the room, his pride still high! (Does that make any sense?)

"How do you do that?" asked Bulma, checking her hear rate.

"Do what?"

"To get him to do as you say," explained Bulma. She looked up to look at Crystal.

"I don't get him to do anything," she replied, "He does what he wants to do. No one can make someone do something they don't want to do. You can't control someone. The only way one can control a person is if that person wants to be controlled."

"Hmm…" Bulma put her things away. "Well, you seem fine to me. Maybe your just tired."

Crystal nodded. "Okay." She got up and started walking out when she had a sudden sharp pain in her head. She grasped her head and moaned as she fell to the ground unconscious. Bulma ran to her and felt her pulse. It was weak. She ran outside and screamed.

"VEGETA!! GOHAN!! KRILLEN!!" she yelled. "There's something wrong with her!!!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

~Dream~

"Where am I?" asked Crystal. She was in a dark and empty voice and she could only see twinkling stars it seemed. A planet was across her and it looked oddly familiar to her. But once again, she just couldn't place it. Then pods came out from the planet. She dodged a couple, but saw they could even hurt her. It was like she couldn't see her and she was a ghost! Then, she saw something in the corner of her eyes. It was a spaceship that was familiar also. She flew towards it and looked inside through the glass. Crystal saw Vegeta, and a guy with horns and lipstick on a flying watchamamobber. She went inside and saw a green guy and Dodoria on both of the horn guy's side. Suddenly Vegeta threw the green guy on the wall.

"Don't send her there!" he shouted.

~End Dream~

Crystal woke up and saw Vegeta's mouth coming down on hers. She pushed him away and asked, "Why do you always wake me up like that? Or at least try it, anyways. There are other ways you know."

He smirked. "I like it better this way." She rolled her eyes. Then, she realized she was on a bed in a room. She remembered the pain in her head before she passed out. "Don't do that again," she heard Vegeta say. "You…you…scared me…" He pulled her into a tight hug (O_O). She hugged back, but one question remained in her mind.

"Why do you care so much?" she whispered. She felt his muscle tighten around her.

He sighed and replied, "I…don't know…But…I know I can't lose you…I'll protect you…" Crystal rested her head and hands on his chest.

"Okay," she said softly. They stayed like that for a while until Vegeta broke the silence.

"The brats and onna agreed to give us the dragon ball they have," he said, "We will all go to where I hid my dragon ball then get Frieza's."

"When did you get one?" asked Crystal, confused.

"When you were asleep," he replied. "Let's go onna." He picked her up and headed out. Before exiting the house, he grabbed Crystal's armor and placed it on her. They walked out and spotted Krillen and Gohan quietly talking. "Brat! We are going now!" yelled Vegeta, picking Crystal up once more, ready to take air.

Gohan and Krillen flew on either side of Vegeta, occasionally glancing at Crystal who had laid her head on Vegeta's shoulder. They flew in silence and all that could be heard would be the wind and Crystal moving to keep her hair from hitting Vegeta's face. Then, all three stopped abruptly looking ahead. Crystal slid down fro her position so that she would be hanging on to his neck and his arms were around her. She had no idea why they had stopped.

"You two go hide," ordered Vegeta. "I'll take care of him." He snickered. The two nodded and hid behind a larger boulder. Vegeta landed on a small mountain and placed Crystal down. "Stay." He flew off and landed near a familiar green man with a cape. Soon they started to battle and the man seemed to have the upper hand. Vegeta received a punch to the stomach and face, but soon recovered and retaliated. He flew at fast speed towards the man and kneed him. He threw a ki blast at his face and the man fell back.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"You've gotten stronger, Vegeta," complimented Zarbon, "Not stronger than I of course."

Vegeta laughed (evilly of course!). "I am winning, Zarbon. In case you didn't notice. I surpass you."

Zarbon laughed his own laugh. "Is that what you think? Let me show you my true power!"

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The headache was coming again. Pictures and scenes flashed in her mind. Realizing what they were, she gasped in right. 'He can transform!!!' she screamed in her mind.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Vegeta's head snapped up. He could have sworn he had just heard Crystal in his head saying Zarbon had the ability to transform! 'But it can't be possible' eh said to himself 'Only Frieza can transform to a various stage and only Katie can read minds!!'

"This is my true power!" cried Zarbon. His muscles bulged out. As did his face and he became a hideous green monster. (Green…makes me think of salad…anyways…) Vegeta gasped. Zarbon's ki had skyrocketed and Crystal was right. He had to beat Zarbon. If he failed, then there was a chance he was no match for Frieza no matter how hard he trained. Without any warning, Zarbon appeared across Vegeta and started to beat the tar out of him. (Can't write fight scene…too hungry!! Have one more class left till lunch! **groans**) He threw the prince of saiyans into the mountain where Crystal lay.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Crystal looked over the edge of the mountain and saw Vegeta being torn apart. She cried silently and then she saw Vegeta being thrown into the mountain where she was like he was a simple toy. The cliff she was standing on collapsed and she tried to hang on to the ledge and failed.

"VEGETA!!" she screamed, falling top speed towards the ground. Vegeta appeared from the dust and caught her into his arms. They slowly descended on the ground and he collapsed on top if Crystal. She carefully laid him down on the ground and saw the injuries he held. "Vegeta," she whispered, wiping off dust with her finger form his face.

"Good. You're okay," he said. She nodded. Then, a shadow covered them. Crystal looked up and saw Zarbon in his normal form.

He smiled hungrily and evilly. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Katriana, the daughter of the third class saiyan Bardock." He fired a blast at her. She put her hands up in defense, but was still knocked unconscious. She fell on Vegeta's chest.

"No!" cried Vegeta before he himself was knocked unconscious. Zarbon picked them up and threw them both over his shoulder and flew towards Frieza's spaceship. 'Master Frieza will be please. We've finally found her' Zarbon thought. 'After I'm done that is.'
