My Beloved, the Enemy

Chapter One

Tearing through the halls in the council space station, Bulma, the only female warrior on the war council, collided into a wall of muscle then looked up and grinned impishly. She was also fifteen years old, the youngest female fighter to reach such a position. "Turles, thank Kami you're here. They're calling another council meeting and I need you to continue training the warriors where I left off."

The tall warrior looked down at his young superior then nodded gravely. "I was just on my way to relieve you of your duties." His deep voice was softer than normal, but then, not many people could help but be gentle around the small warrior woman. "Also, Vice Chancellor Dim Sum requested you for an audience after the meeting."

Rolling her sky blue eyes, she nodded, taking everything he said in and filtering out the important parts. "When I get back, I want Callie and Bee ready for their next mission. They're going to need all of their supplies out for me to go through and then I want you to escort them down to the docking bay. No one is to see which ship they leave on and which direction they're headed. I've already talked to Regent Garlic about this mission and he's agreed to have their ship ready within the hour. Hopefully I won't have to make them return to the depot for more supplies so I'm counting on you to make sure everything is done right."

"Yes ma'am." Saluting the smaller saiya-jin, he watched her nod curtly before she dashed off again.

Slowing to a walk as she entered the council chambers, she quickly ran her fingers through her hair and made sure her clothes were straight before taking her seat near the head of the table.

"Ah, Bulma, good timing as always. We were just about to start our negotiations with the EFSS's high lord." High Counselor Nib smiled at the young warrior then took his own seat. "As we all know, the EFSS is ruled by King Vejita and we also know that he wants nothing more than to end this war."

She snorted. "We also know that he wants to keep our two classes separated from each other so he can keep the elite bloodlines clear of our weaker strain. He doesn't approve of our governing body and he also doesn't want us to have the same property rights as his elite warriors have."

"Yes, that is true." Chairman Bob nodded in agreement with her words.

Brolli, leader of the space fighters, growled in angry disapproval of her brash statement. "Yet he is willing to end the war if we give way to his advancing troops."

"Let me see if I have this straight." Standing, she flicked her tail back and forth then wrapped it tightly around her waist before walking to the large map on the wall. "He wants us to give up the areas we control so that his people can claim our territories?" Pointing to the red markings that represented the enemy frontline, she traced the advancement into their quadrant before turning and facing the rest of the council. "We are to submit, without fighting for what we own and we are expected to be grateful that he didn't wipe out our entire class?"

Second Chairman Gill frowned at her words then stood up, his well-toned body belying the gray hair that fell to his shoulders. "I don't think that's what Brolli meant, my dear girl."

"If he didn't mean it that way then why did he make it sound like we were better off by giving in to the Elite's demands?" Her eyebrow hiked up in question, causing the seasoned fighter to reconsider his next words.

"I might not…" Gill shook his head then laughed softly. "I see what you're getting at girl. You're right about what King Vejita wants."

Brolli exploded out of his seat; his large body trembling with barely constrained anger. "You're taking the words of that girl at more value than a respected warrior's?"

"No, I'm just saying that she is right about the plans against our people. We need to come up with another set of terms before…"

"Sirs, there has been a breach of our lines outside of sector 41!" A young warrior ran in, his chest heaving while he tried to catch his breath. "Our forces are being slaughtered mercilessly."

Tearing her intense gaze from the larger warrior, she looked at the runner and nodded grimly. "I'll take care of this Kent, go and ready my troops for deployment. If you find Turles, tell him to meet me in the hold in twenty minutes."

"Yes sir." Saluting her smartly, the young warrior ran off again.

Turning back to the other council members, she uncrossed her arms from where they had gone over her chest. "If you truly believe our situation will get better after signing a treaty with King Vejita then you are more foolish than I had thought."

Gill smiled at her harsh words. "I will not sign any treaty today girl, go and take care of this outbreak."

"Sir?" Her eyes softened slightly at his words.

"You made a good point, as I said earlier, and this invasive action by the elite forces is only justifying your words even more."

"Of course sir." Saluting him quickly, she left the councilmen to their own devices. Walking quickly through the halls, she started taking mental stock of her troops then sighed inwardly when she realized that six of them were still in regeneration tanks from the last time they went out to battle. Seeing the doors to the launching hold open, she steeled herself for the blast of cold air and went inside of the cavernous room. Shivering involuntarily from the freezing air, she looked around with a calculating glance then motioned for two of her troops to follow her down to their ships. "We're going to be curbing an attack on sector 41. I want you two to make teams and flank my ship until we reach the planet that is going to be hit next. Make sure to keep up with the reports so we know where they've hit already. We want to surprise them before they know we're there."

"Yes sir." The two troops saluted her simultaneously then ran off to form their teams.

She was directing her team to their stations when Turles arrived from the duty she'd assigned him earlier. Shooting him a pained look, she grinned tightly then finished with her other troops before turning to him completely. "I hope that you made sure everything was set with those two."

"Of course I did."

"Good man. Now, I need you to get the fourth team ready and follow us to the planet. I'm relying on you to guard my back until we're down on the ground. From there we'll have to reconnoiter and plan our actions before the Elitists arrive."

"Yes ma'am." He walked off to the remaining group of troops.

Taking a deep breath, she let it out, her bangs blowing out of her face, then directed all of her troops to board the ships.

Meanwhile…

Staring out the window, his face twisted in a mask of rage, Brolli watched the four ships race away from the station then turned to secured video screen he had installed in his chambers. "So tell me again Lord Frieza, how are you going to rid me of that girl?"

EFSS Forces…

"Radditz, what have you heard about the coming forces?" Vegeta, crown prince of the EFSS's, barked through his scouter after clearing away another wave of low class fighters.

"Nothing yet sir, just some mixed signals from a space freighter to the LCSF compound."

"Dammit." Powering up even more, he shot a powerful blast at another group of fighters and swore colorfully enough to burn the air around him.

"You should be careful what you say sir, your father would beat you to a bloody pulp if he heard that coming from the saiya-jin prince." Radditz laughed through his end of the scouter then stopped and looked at the screen in front of him in shock. "Sir, there's four ships approaching and the power levels coming off of them are enormous."

"Can we handle them easily?"

"I think so sir but…these readings can't be right."

Frowning, he scanned the desecrated land in front of him for signs of life then snorted in contempt. "I'll be right there."

"Yes sir." Studying the screen intently, he didn't even look up when the younger man landed beside him. "Three of the power levels on these ships are even higher than mine sir."

"They must be traitors from our side."

"I don't think so." Turning away from the screen, he looked up at his superior, his long black hair brushing in the dirt. "Some time back we got reports of a few of our teams being attacked by a force led by a very high power level. The last we heard of them, they had been screaming something about a kid coming out of nowhere…then they were cut off."

"They were pathetic weaklings anyway, but still…" Narrowing his onyx eyes in thought, he mulled over the new data then looked off into the distance. "Whatever happened to that team was a fluke and it won't happen to us."

"No sir it won't…but don't you think we should call the troops back and move onto the next planet?"

"Yes…call them in to ready for departure." His eyes darted back and forth over the ground then stopped on a small figure clutching a blanket in its arms. "Really Radditz, a straggler?"

"Huh?" Looking up again, he spotted the small figure then shrugged indifferently. "The kid could be useful for extra troops."

"Hmm…I think not." Forming a sphere of blue energy in his hand, he drew his arm back to throw it then stopped. "On second thought…get the kid Radditz."

"Yes sir." Jumping to his feet, the larger saiya-jin phased out of sight then reappeared behind the kid before grabbing him and holding him by the back of his shirt.

"When we get to the ship, send him to the infirmary for a health check then…"

The kid started glowing brightly then screamed in pain before exploding himself.

"Dammit." Shaking his hand and massaging the singed appendage, Radditz sighed then looked back at his prince. "They're crazy."

"Maybe…or maybe that's how they destroyed those troops you told me about."

"No, you could hear the sounds of fighting before their communicators were cut off."

"Hmm…a smart tactic none-the-less."

"I still think they're crazy."

Laughing harshly, he shook his head then lifted into the air. "Come on you moron, we need to get to the ship so I can battle against these newcomers."

"Sir…" Sighing, he lifted into the air as well then followed his leader away from the crater he was standing in.
