CHAPTER 5: AFTER MATH

Khazhandrah had a hard time coping with what she had just seen. Three Super Saiyans just defeated Frieza, effectively saving her and her siblings and giving her, her freedom. She felt tears of joy welling up in her eyes, but she restrained them. She turned to her sister and brother, who had been left behind by the guards who were flying over to the three Saiyans.

Still feeling a bit frazzled by the situation, she turned to her siblings, "Mirah, Bardock, did you just see what I just saw?"

Her brother and sister just nodded, but she could sense their joy, and their confusion. They had heard the Legends, but that is all they thought they were, legends. But here they were, on a strange planet with at least three Saiyans on it, and she guessed that there were more where they came from.

Soon the group of people who saved them returned, all with stony expressions on their faces, except on man, who had a goofy smile plastered on his face. As they came closer, the man with a big smile made eye contact with her and her siblings. She saw her sister and her brother giggle a bit at the man. She flashed them sidelong warning glances that hushed them. Khazhandrah made eye contact with the smiling man, her face betraying no emotion.

Then the woman pushed the man out of the way saying, "Kakkarot, you're going to give them nightmares with your goofy grin." She turned and stared Khazhandrah in the eye, measuring her up. Then she spoke, "What are your names?"

Khazhandrah saw her sister wanted to answer but she silenced her with a glare. After a while, when she had purposely not answered, the woman spoke up again, "Look, we don't want to hurt you, we want to help you. I know you speak basic and I know you speak Saiyango, so I know you know what I'm saying."

Khazhandrah frowned, thinking it over. They could torture it out of her, but she didn't particularly want to be tortured today. She sighed and said, in heavily accented basic (A/N: Okay, I imagine Saiyango as something German or Russian sounding, so imagine her with a Russian or German accent.), "I am Khazhandrah. This is my twin sister, Alahamirah. He is our brother, Bardock."

Khazhandrah swallowed hard and waited. The woman flashed a glance at the short Saiyan, Khazhandrah hazarded that they were speaking telepathically.

The woman spoke again, "I assume that you don't know where you are, or what company you are in. You are on a planet called New Earth. All of us here are of Saiyan blood, except the green one over there, he is a Namek. I am Marley, full-blooded. That is Kakkarot, he is called Goku by the Earthlings, full-blooded. That is his son, and my mate, Gohan, half-blooded. His other son, Goten, also half-blooded. This is Prince Vegeta, obviously full-blooded. That purple haired kid is his son, Trunks, half-blooded. I also assume you have questions, but right now, I am tired. We will take you with us, feed you, give you a place to stay. Come with us."

"Um, Marley?" the one who Marley had pointed out as her mate said, "There may be a slight problem."

Marley raised an eyebrow.

"Their collars. They told us that they cannot use their ki with their collars on. They can't fly."

"We carry them." Then she turned to Khazhandrah, You must trust us for a while longer girl. Don't be afraid.

Then she said to Goku, "Carry Khazhandrah, I'll grab Bardock. Gohan, you can carry Alahamirah. Let's move out people. And Kakkarot, try not to scare here with your annoying ability to talk about your stomach 24/7."

Khazhandrah felt herself being lifted off the ground by the big burly Saiyan, was his name Goku or Kakkarot? Her sister was picked up by Marley's mate, who smiled at her and jumped off into the air after his father. The two boys headed off as well, leaving Marley with Vegeta and Bardock. This made her nervous, she was very protective of her brother. Somehow, the man carrying her seemed to notice this and said, "Don't worry, he is in good hands."

Khazhandrah sighed and waited for them to reach their destination.

"Prince Vegeta?" Marley questioned, when they were alone.

"Hn," he said. She took this as a `what' and said, "I know you are thinking the exact thing I am."

He frowned and said, "And what am I thinking about?"

"Repopulating the Saiyan race," she answered simply.

Vegeta's frown deepened. How did she always know? Damn psycho-harpy-bitch. "It crossed my mind," he conceded.

"We'll talk about it later," she said, not wanting to push this too far.

"Hn," he said taking off into the air.

This left her and Bardock. On the outside he was stony faced, no emotion seeping threw. She new Saiyan children were taught to act like this, maybe with out his older sister she could break through his barrier.

"Bardock? Nefarhas nin ha nas. Takan havabad leholas." (Bardock? You need not fear me. We will protect you.) she said softly in Saiyngo, knowing he knew this language.

"Hia. Tu a hanah viarkas." (Okay. You look like mother.) He said respectfully.

"Tu viarkas?" (Your mother?) she asked.

"Ja. Y virakas. Arlah mihaha un. Ben ka." (Yes. My mother. You are pretty like her. And tall.) He said, his eyes filling with tears.

"Anahzha tu viarkas tla?" (What was her name?) She asked.

"Lelilah," he said, a tear sliding down his cheek.

"Gov alha tla Bardock?" (Was your father named Bardock, too.)

"Nin." (No.) He puffed up his chest with pride, "Paara tla ka hamenha. Un rahaas sawn tla Barles." (I was named after my godfather. My father was named Barles.)

Marley smiled at the young boy. There was only one Bardock he could be named after, Kakkarot's father. She knelt down and opened her arms and said, "Trualn ka se ka grada." (Come to me my child.)

He ran into her arms and cried a bit. Marley picked him up and started back to Capsule Corp., knowing that food would be waiting. Plus, it was growing dark and she hadn't eaten for a day, she was hungry.

She felt Bardock's heartbeat settle down as he fell a sleep. She smiled and thought how he was like her Kato.
