Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Forgotten Heritage ❯ Searching for Vegeta ( Chapter 5 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Who Bulma could reach on the phone were all there in Capsule Corp., and were all interested what's going on. They guessed that Bulma is just exaggerating the whole thing, and Vegeta just wants to be alone. Most probably he had enough from the Earth and from the humans, and needs a bit silence and peace. They chatted with each-other while Mrs. Brief served them doughnut and tea. Goku listened as Krillin and Yamcha told stories of about their problem of their all days lives, and he described how he found a perfect place to train. C18 rather listened what the guys were talking about. Chichi didn't come with his husband, because she needed to finish some housework, but she promised that she will join them later. The full blooded Saiyan was happy to see Gohan too, who moved into the city because of his studies, so he could rarely meet him. Goten and Trunks just were about to start a new video game, when Bulma stepped in the room, and sent the boys upstairs. With her first announcement she dissolved the comfy mood “Vegeta was kidnapped.”

The others gave voice about their consternation with a sharp breathtaking or a loud ‘WTF??' “Come on Bulma, you can't be serious. Who would be able to kidnap one of the strongest guy in the world?” doubted Yamcha.

“Yamcha is right! Isn't he just retreated on some deserted island? At this time he usually conceals his energy, so nobody can disturb him” agreed Krillin.

“In the town where I sent him, some really strange people arrived two months ago” she was sure about it now “Saiyans! Their hair, the armour what the citizen described where similar to the cloths Vegeta was wearing at the time he came to Earth. They even have tails!” shouted the last sentence.

She saw surprised faces again “Are you sure?” asked Goku. He got exited as he heard a possible new challenge, on the other he didn't like the technique how they approached. They could somehow manage to eliminate one of their strongest, in a way nobody could sense. However if they can't change into Super Saiyan, Gohan and the others can defeat them easily.

“Yes I am.” nodded “I asked around the folks and they all gave me the same description. Although they seemed nice, you could tell there is something fishy about them. There were also reports about burglaries, mainly the food supplies were tapped.” shared the information which she gathered.

“Why did you sent Vegeta to Territown?” asked Krillin “And how could you convince him to go there?”

Bulma sighed “These begun about a few weeks ago...” and she told everything what happened in these last days, including the outlines of Noeven appearance and what she had done in the house. Her friends were listening her until she arrived with her story to the present “I think Vegetas insomnia was part of their plot. We need to find him!

“If he is still alive.” noted the scar-faced man, who received a strong elbowing into his rips.

“Indeed, I can't sense Vegeta vital signs, but I never felt that he raised it before either. There is no way he resisted.” added Gohan.

“Vegeta is alive, I can assume you.” said a new voice.

“Piccolo!” cried Goku surprised “We haven't seen you for a while! How can you be this sure?”

“Dende saw as he collapsed before a small woman. Then a tall male grabbed him and dragged him into a spaceship. The aliens have a high developed technology, they can hide all their signals.” the Namek provided them all his experience.

“Did he saw where the ship is?” asked Bulma nervously.

“Yes, but by the time I reached the location, they were already gone. In the last days I tried to search for them in the area, but couldn't find them.” answered honestly.

“Likely they have gone to another place. They were expecting that we will look for them.” thought Krillin aloud, as he held his chin.

“Do we have any chance to find them?” agonised a bit Yamcha.

“Maybe we do.” told Bulma “Follow me!” and she headed to her laboratory. She sat down to one of the computers and started to work. Meanwhile she explained her idea “The Saiyans got suspected in Territown to be stealing food. It looks like they want to recharge their supplies for their new trip. These are bad and good news at the same time, because they want to leave the planet soon.”
“What's the bad in this? At least we get rid of them without fight.” asked Yamcha.
“This doesn't exclude they don't want to destroy the Earth. Moreover they want to drag Vegeta with themselves, who knows why.” noted Krillin.

“But if they are not ready yet...” Bulma carried on.

“Then now they continue to fill their stock!” finished Goku the line of though.

“Exactly! And this leaves us traces in the database of the companies. If nowhere else in the complaint reports of the securities.” typed fast on the keyboard.

“I suppose we need to look just in few hundred miles zone. I don't think they would have gone farther. Maybe they've chosen a bigger city.” suggested Gohan “I can help you if you don't mind, I can use the computer fairly well.”

“The panel on the right is active. Feel yourself at home!” the demi took a seat and began to work together. They broke some secure systems, a looked in some records, not really asking for permission. In meantime the others gone back to the living room, because after 10 minutes of scanning, their eyes started spinning seeing the zigzagging data.

“I'm a bit perplexed because of these Saiyans. They don't act like we would expect, they just try to attract as little attention as possible.” mused Piccolo.

“Maybe they just wait for the right moment to attack.” sipped the ex-priest from his tea.

“I don't think so. They already here more than two months and all they did is quietly marauding warehouses. Even Dende couldn't sense their arrival or presence. Just because of Vegeta are we aware of them.” explained the facts.

“That could mean that from the beginning he was their target.” concluded Goku.

“But we can't be sure that they don't have any weapons, which can be treating for the Earth.” warned Krillin his friends.

“ARGH! This waiting is driving me nuts! I hope Bulma and Gohan will find them quickly!” ruffled Yamcha his hair in frustration.

“Don't be so edgy, you know that Bumla is the best computer genius on the world.” smiled a bit Goku. He was a bit worried for the Saiyan prince, but needless fussing will not help Vegeta. In their time they conjectured what the Saiyans are aiming for. After a half an hour the ebony haired woman also arrived, as she promised.

Goku explained the situation, and hearing this Chichi got angry “How can somebody so pathetic to let himself kidnapped by an old lady?” if you think this way, it really sounded funny. She snarled a bit more, but when Krillin asked not to, because Bulma remorse will grow with this, she hummed once, but said nothing else.

~o~O~o~O~o~O~o~

After two and a half hour they found a clue “Gohan look at this!” Bulma read the text on the screen “The Inter-sec goes out frequently to the estates of Foodplay, because neither their cams nor their motion sensors work properly and more pounds of food disappeared in the last five days. One of their buildings was literally purged.”

“They are doing this, no doubt!” Gohan read the city name “Come we tell it dad!” they pulled themselves up from the chairs and hurried to the guy “We found them! They are now in Doylecity, not far from their old location.”

“Than what are we waiting for?” Goku hopped up from his seat, and started to crack his fist.

“Don't we need to make plans how defeat them? They cannot be that weak if they manage to knock out Vegeta?” asked Krillin a bit concerned.

“Vegeta was unprepared of the attack, and could have been exhausted more days prior. Now we have the power of surprise.” pointed it out Piccolo.

“And we need to hurry before we’ll running out of time. We don't know how long the Saiyans plan to staying here.” argued Goku to take actions now.

Yamcha nodded too “That's cleared! Let's go then!” stood up from the couch.

“But dad we don't sense them. How can we find their ship?” asked Gohan.

“We just wait until they open the door of their ship, then I’ll be able to feel Vegetas Ki. I'll IT us there and fight them.” described his simple plan.

“I'm going with you! Maybe I can spot Noeven or one of the Saiyans!” tagged Bulma.

Chichi was used to the men overly readiness to fight, so she said nothing at first, although she was not pleased at all. However as she hear Bulma she didn't want to left out “Hey, then I go with you as well! Gohan don't you have seminars anyway? The first year on the university is the most important!

“But mum!'” protested the demi weakly.

“No buts Mr.! Hurry up back to the college!” and started to pull his son.

Goku decided to step in “Chichi dear, Gohan can help us with the space ship when we reach it. He can stop the launching, and I don't want the either you or Bulma get injured. Please stay here,” looked at his old friend, showing her that his request is applying to her too “and look for Goten and Trunks that don't cause any trouble. If this is going to get worse that we expect, we will come back and figure something out. Okay?”

The Saiyan wanted to convince the black haired woman with his blarney and smile, but Chichi saw through of the façade. She knew that they would be in the way if it comes to fight “I don't need this unnecessary speech Son Goku!” hearing his wife, he scratched his head. She looked sharply at him for a minute, and then she told him her decision “Okay, I'll stay. But I want to hear a detailed report what happened! Is that clear?” asked sternly.

Before Goku could thank Chichi, Bulma interrupted “Hey! I haven't agreed to this! I found them, so I have the right to be there!” She shook the gentle hand of C18 off, and stepped closer to her friend “I can easily identify that old lady, on the other hand you would just tip. And if you IT you just don't take me with you.” insisted.

“Has Trunks seen the woman?” asked Piccolo.

“Yes, in the morning as we had breakfast together.” she sighed because she knew she will stay at Capsule Corp.

“In this case he will come with us. Trunks can better protect himself.” told her the Namek “You can come down now.” said it louder, so the to rascals dragged themselves down, a bit ashamed that they were busted. Of course one of the urchins always comes with the other.

“No way in hell! The boys fought enough! At this age their biggest problem should be the school and the interaction and integration into the association! If they can't build up their social bindings now, they'll have serious problem to communicate with the society in the future!” Chichi recently read a book about the child psychology, and it made her aware how important the social contacts are in the younger ages.

“But if it is nothing serious we can be back for dinner like nothing happened.” tried to convince her Goku.

Chichi saw in her husband eyes that he is unswerving as always “If the boys are not home at dinnertime you can forget food for a month!” said menacing. The Saiyan promised her that the boys will back in time, thus to his mothers distress Goten joined to the group.

“If something will happen to them I'll blame you for it Piccolo.” Bulma threatened the green alien with the turban. She received an understanding nod “There's no need stay here, as we don't need to look after our sons.” whispered scornfully.

“Let them go Bulma! You know how men are; they just go after their own heads. If they need to use some brain they will crawl back to us for help.” soothed her C18. Krillin asked her to look after the others who stay at Capsule Corp., then they departed to Doylecity.

to Zofo: Thank you for your reviews and that you keep up reading the story.
The explanation what they really are after will wait till the next chapter. Indeed it may appear the OC-s are weird, but later on there will be reasons why they're so strange. Originally I tried to make them more „bad” but it will be no use in later chapter, because they would act out of themselves.
I know my grammar is far, faraway from perfect (T.T), I can feel it too. Sorry! Currently I just can't find the right expressions yet. I hope it will get better.
