KALERAGETSUSEI

CHAPTER XLVIII

MORDOBON AND MUSHRA

It was like any other planet in the vast universe at first appearance, however, further and closer inspection of the planet's surface yielded startling characteristics. Characteristics such as four rows of razor sharp teeth surrounding a hole that could bite and tear into any being hapless enough to fall into that orifice. Another characteristic was a second hole from which whatever food source had been ingested would be eliminated from the planet's insides. Beings who had survived the torment of being eaten alive developed fears and paranoia that were otherwise foreign to their races; such as the intense fear the three kings, Bardock, the three princes and Raditz had of worms.

The surface of the planet was rough and scaly like alligator skin and any being standing on the surface could just feel vibrations and a rising and falling motion as if the hunk of rock was alive and breathing, which it was. The planet was a living entity without soul or conscious but with the intense desire to consume whatever it could obtain.

A group of mortals materialized above the surface, their bodies covered in Arachnian webbing for protection and to mask their scent. The group hovered above the surface to survey the landscape. Bones of stranded and discarded creatures littered the surface, especially around the hole where the teeth were located. The sight caused the Tsuria-jin and Rockaria-jin alike to shudder in disgust. The Saiya-jin, however, hid both the revulsion and distress they felt from once again being on the very cause of their most intense and frightening nightmares.

The group held their captives over the hole with teeth, however, just looking down at the thing filled them with horrific memories.

"Saiya-jin, you can't be serious? Have mercy, don't feed us to this monster!" one of the surviving squid officers shrieked.

"Mercy is for the weak! Why should we?" King Vegeta growled.

"We were ordered to! Queen Cold will stop at nothing until she gets what she wants! She wants those Slougarthian gems. She wants Araknian webbing, Vincentean leather, something known as Makai tear gems, Saiyan tails, Tsurian braid and Rockarian hair and something called kitsune tails and hair," the squid listed.

"She wants our braid? That's ridiculous, not even Frieza wanted to mutilate us in that fashion!" Zarbon gasped and lost the color in his teal blue colored skin.

"Our hair? What does she want with our hair? It's taken me forever to get it the way I desire, no ice bitch is gonna rob me of my glory!" Jeice hissed.

"She'll have one helluva fight on her hands if she tries to butcher us the way her grandson loved to do. Nevermore will any of us just roll over and play dead because someone ordered us to!" Vegeta Ouji snarled as he held his tail in a hug.

Kakarrot held his mate and kissed him. "Worry not, my koi. She has to go through me to get to you, and you know I'm second in strength next to you," the large Saiyan smiled at his princely prize.

"Can it, mi koi, modesty does not become you, now," the prince snickered as he touched his lips to those of his mate's.

"Why does this Queen Cold want to butcher us? For her own greed or something?" Chokarti, Parlissa Saturna's mate who had arrived with the Vincentians, asked.

"That's what the Ice-jin do, they're butchers and bullies and any race they feel they can intimidate into obeisance and servitude, they will. They destroyed our first home, tore many of our families apart and made sport of our abilities and skills," Vegeta Ou replied to the young warrior. "The Squidrion are correct. Why should we act as those hideousities and destroy the remnant of a great aquatic-fighting race? We're far more superior to them in every way conceivable. If we find you a planet, will you leave our worlds in peace?" King Vegeta asked with a nod.

"How can we be sure they won't turn on us and sell us out to that Ice bitch?" Prince Vegeta sneered.

"Perhaps we may assist, my friends. My name is Mordosa, a collector of fine creatures and I've searched the universe for Squidrion. My employers will pay handsomely for them alive and well. Besides, you weren't actually thinking of feeding them to poor Nursha-2, were you? The poor thing would have heartburn for six months and I'd have to be the one to go down into his belly to calm the quiver that will result. He hates sea food, Saiya-jin, Rockaria-jin, Araknians, Vincentians and my race, the Tsuria-jin," a soft husky voice with the same sort of accent that Zarbon, his twin and his sire possessed sounded from around the warriors.

"Who speaks? Show yourself!" King Jordonair hissed.

"Gladly. Oh, King Zeneron, you might want to hold onto the twins when I emerge," the voice said with a giggle. "All eyes to the craft to your right," the voice instructed.

The warriors turned and came face to face with a craft much like the one Zarbon; Jeice and their people had landed on Earth in nearly two Earth years ago. As the warriors watched, the hatchway of the ship lifted with a swoosh sound and through the smoke, eyes that could see even in the darkest caves noted the slow, cat-like movements of a figure. Those watching stood in stoic observation as the smoke cleared and the figure was visible. If any of the observers were surprised at the appearance of the being, it was the Tsurian monarch and his twin sons, Zarbon and Turbon.

"Greetings, all. Welcome to Nursha-2, temporary home of the family Mushrabon. As I said, I am Mordosa," the figure nodded in greeting.

Mordosa looked a lot like Zarbon's mate, Zyra, but much more like the twins themselves with long aqua colored hair that reached to 'her' backside, amber colored eyes that sparkled like gold. The being was dressed in a long sleeved metallic body suit, much like Amazonian armor or outfits seen on futuristic females in science fiction movies. The outfit was silver and along with the outfit, the being stood in five inch spike heeled hip high boots that made it a very impressive height over the usual Tsurian height of seven feet. Mordosa was mouthwateringly curvaceous and would have easily been the center of many world wars, not that the Saiya-jin noticed.

"Of what gender are you, might I ask, Mordosa?" King Jordonair asked what was on everyone's mind.

Before Mordosa could reply, King Zeneron opened his mouth. "Mordobon? This can't be you, my eldest son, can it? Was I that cruel that you changed your gender?" that king asked as he fell to his knees in front of the being.

"Oh, sire, have you forgotten how many transformations our race has? You've been married to a femme so long you have probably had no need to undergo this state. Besides, we have many enemies who would stop at nothing to kill who was once the last of the Zeneronian line. That Frieza bitch certainly caused a lot of damage to the universe and had caused many of our allies to turn against us," Mardobon spoke then turned to the twins. He smirked and nodded. "Greetings, chibis. It's a pleasure to see you all alive again. It's been dreadfully lonely these last decades. King Jordonair, King Vegeta, you are also looking well as are your princes." Eyes falling to Raditz and Ouji Vegeta, Mordobon smiled. "Do you not remember me, my friends? We met on Vincente and I was in this form. Queen Valeria taught me how to tap into the transformation and retain it at will for protection sake. I aided you in delivering your cubs, Rageta and Vegetzu. How do they fare, by the way?" Mordobon asked, a twinkle in his golden orbs.

"I do remember you. I don't know about the big one, though. I want to thank you for caring for us while we recuperated after the birth," Ouji Vegeta nodded.

"I remember him, too, little brother and I also remember chasing him to mate with him," Raditz replied.

"Alas, big boy, I have been caught and have a small army of chibis. Shall we withdraw to the inside? I haven't yet to feed this rocky beast and I'm afraid that should we remain on his surface, he may send his tongue out to search for a morsel," Mordobon smirked then turned to re-enter the craft.

The warriors followed, however, one warrior could be sensed seething with jealous anger as he followed Raditz into the craft.

"Raditz, we have to talk," Tormataeo tried hard not to let his anger flare. Taeo had decided not to follow his mate's request to return to Kale and accompanied his love interest along with the others.

"Get over it, Taeo. Raditz is your mate, what happened in his past is just that, past! He's devoted to you and very happy! If he could rid himself of his half-breeds, believe me, he would!" Ouji Vegeta all but shouted as the group followed the elder Tsurian prince, who halted in his progress.

Mardobon turned to face his tall Saiyan guest. "What? You've had Tsurian chimps? They shame all of you, do they not?" the elder Tsurian prince replied.

"I am willing to accept my offspring as they were birthed from an alliance our two races had as were my Rockarian/Saiyan mixes. Raditz and his younger brother, Vegeta, had been forced to mate with the other two princes because they had all been slaves of Frieza. I don't know how my younger son feels towards his brood, but I know Raditz is very discomforted by the idea," Vegeta Ou remarked.

"I shall be more than elated to take them from you if they cause such an embarrassment, but then I'm biased. Come, let's put those fine specimens in water storage then we can continue the discussion," Mordobon nodded and led the warriors to another level of his craft.

The Tsurian stopped in front of a door marked in strange hieroglyphic markings that resembled both Saiyan and Tsurian markings. The prince tapped the keypad and the door slid open. "This is where I keep the beings I collect then I deliver them to Lady Yocina then she and her four sisters distribute them throughout the universe where they are needed. In return, Yocina and the girls provide me with food for Nursha and more currency than my family and I will ever spend in three lifetimes," Mordobon snickered. "Tell, me, where did you find such excellent specimens?"

"They invaded a planet in our star system looking for Slugarthian gems. We were summoned to fight them off. They told us that it was Frieza's grandmother, Queen Cold, who had ordered them to attack. They told us that the bitch also wanted the braid of your people, the hair of the Rockaria-jin, webbing of the Araknians, Vincentian leather, Makai tear gems, Kitsune tails and hair and Saiyan tails," King Vegeta related as the warriors placed their captives into deep water filled tanks.

"Just like her. We've been evading her for years and that's why we hide on Nursha-2. Did you know that Squidrion are very good to eat and that their brains can be harnessed and used for electrical output? Their skin gives the ability to breath water and their ink is just the best for writing, painting and designing," Mordobon smiled after the squids had been placed in storage then he led his guests to another level of the ship.

Entering another series of numbers opened a second set of doors, behind which was located a very spacious living area furnished with the dash of Tsurian royalty without a throne. There were silken pillows and low sofas and chaises in every corner and the floor was covered in...

"Mordobon, where did you obtain Slugarthian fur?" Vegeta Ouji asked as he gazed over the room.

"How did you know?" the blue prince asked.

"Sire?" the younger Vegeta, asked and the king nodded. "The creatures who provide the fur are native to our new home planet," the prince continued.

"You mean Slugarths exist? My mate and I acquired these on Planet Staya not long ago. We purchase many items of interest on our travels through the universe," Mordobon explained as he led his guest into the living space. "Make yourselves to home. If you feel the urge, no one will stop you. I'll ring for refreshments."

The others wondered around the living chamber and overlooked the vast collection of artifacts that were on display.

"Have you ever seen such a collection? I see Saiyan art in this room as well as Tsurian," Prince Vegeta remarked to his mate.

"There's a good reason for that," the blue price replied as if he had read the Saiya-jin minds.

"MOMMA! MOMMA! Poppa's gonna eat us! Help!" a chorus of voices, shouted, as a force slammed into the blue prince, nearly sending him to the ground.

Expanding his body just enough to halt the force, Mordobon returned to his slender form to reveal four very beautiful Tsurian mixed breed cubs with aqua highlighted black hair that spiked like a Saiyan's and the chimps all had tails and dark amber eyes. Behind the chimps bounded a larger being that could have been Paragus' s twin brother, right down to his black/bronze tail.

"M-Mushra? I-Is that you, old buddy?" Raditz exclaimed when his eyes beheld the other being.

The being, which was taller than Raditz, turned and gasped at the sight before him, then he fell to his knees in a deep bow.

"Y-Y, My lords, I was unaware of your presence. Please, forgive the chimps. They become very excited when they're mother returns," Mushra tried to explain, his mouth as dry as the deserts of old Vegetasei.

"Rise, warrior. You are Paragus's twin brother, are you not? How does our elder prince know of you?" Vegeta Ou asked.

Mushra rose from his bow but did not meet the eyes of his monarch. "Y-y-yes, my king, I am. I know Raditz because we were in training classes together, lord. We both made first class status," Mushra explained.

"Hold your head high, warrior. No longer will there be any looking down in shame when in front of your king. We are a new race, with a new vision and purpose. What used to be taboo, such as showing emotion and caring is no longer true. Gone are the slaves the Ice-jin made of us. We shall reclaim our high rank in the universe and the races the Cold empire had us destroy for them have been restored, thanks to Prince Vegeta and his mate, Kakarrot. You have done well to mate with the Tsurian and your offspring have strong energies. I remember when Zatanna delivered that brat. I need not ask who is femme in this union," King Vegeta smirked as he watched the loving way Mordobon tended to his litter.

"Tsurian males are as capable as Saiyan males in delivering and nourishing our offspring. Another reason I choose to stay in my femme state is to gain access to planets such as Amazonia or Venusia, where females rule. Male ruled planets where they care not a wit about females, I can sneak in, apprehend what I was sent for, then make a hasty escape. I narrowly made a clean break from a maniacal planet called Espion-5. Those beings were savages and nearly ripped me apart! I was never so affrighted in all of my existence," Mordobon sighed as he released the hug he had on his cubs so that he and his mate could sit together on a chaise.

Vegeta Ouji gaped in shocked surprise at the blue prince. "Espion-5! We were there not long hence, about a year ago, in Saiyan time. How long ago were you there?" the Saiyan prince asked.

"About the same time, a year ago according to your time. I had been given a lead of Saiyan, Tsurian and Rockarian survivors on that rock; thus we went to retrieve them. They had been sent from their home planets to protect them from the Ice-jin and such enemies. Those beasts fought Shra and I tooth and nail. Even in our transformed states we were overwhelmed. Shra did something I believe no other Saiyan has ever done, he forfeited the battle to save me, his mate and ...Wait, yes! Not long after we departed the planet, our radars picked up the approach of several other crafts. Shra told the navigator to disregard the ships and get me to New Namek for healing. I was with child at the time and lost it on the way to receive healing," Mordo sniffled and Mushra took him in a strong embrace.

"I know that feeling. When I lost Kakarrot and my own first attempt, I was devastated but my pride would not let me show such weakness. When I was able to have a child for this Saiyan beauty, he had killed himself to save the planet we lived on," Prince Vegeta sighed as he snuggled into his mate's hold.

"Mordo, you know the Namekians" Kakarrot asked as he caressed his smaller mate.

"I do. They have been treated most unfairly by the Ice-jin, and yes, Vegeta, I know about your own attack, but yours was more out of desperation than anything else you had in mind was. You desired escape from that tyrant, as did my brother and Jeice," Mordobon replied. "Anyway, the Nameks healed me, so we could continue to rid the universe of that gray, hard-hearted ice being."

All was silent for the space of thirty sectons (universal time relating to 10 Earth seconds) when a loud roar shook the craft and caused the occupants to look around and at one another.

"Love, did you feed Nursha, yet?" Mushra asked his mate who shook his head. "Well, don't you think we'd better before he evicts us."

Mushra aided his mate to a standing position. Mordobon turned to his guests. "Care to assist? I know what you suffered at the hands of Frieza. Help me feed this glutton and consider it revenge," the elder Tsurian prince smirked as a nurse came and took away his four charges.

The other warriors present shrugged, got up then went to follow their hosts out of the living quarters and down to the level of the ship where the Squidrion had been stored.

"It's extremely cold in here, so brace yourselves and put that webbing you were wearing back on. I've heard it's very warm as this container is 500 degrees below their normal body temperature of 300 degrees below," Mordobon nodded as he entered the code.

Gasps were heard as the doors to a huge container slid open to reveal a sight of frozen bodies that looked hauntingly familiar. The beings inside were hung in the same manner that slaughtered meat would be to drain the blood from the carcass.

"Vegeta, those look like frozen Friezas?" Kakarrot stated what all could see.

"Thank you, love, I think we can all see what they are," the Saiyan prince shook his head.

"Wake up you miserable excuses for living creatures! Let's see what group shall it... Ahh, yes, group R. Everyone, take a body from the group labeled R then follow me. Nursha loves these creatures, especially in a blanket," Mordobon snickered as his mate and guests all took hold of a body that was wrapped as if it were a sausage roll.

"How do you get them this cold, big brother, I thought they were already ice solid?" Turbon asked his elder brother as the group hauled bodies from storage.

"My employers, Lady Yocina and her sisters, told me how to deeper freeze them. You may know of her, she's also called Queen Igloo," Mordobon remarked, which caused the troupe to halt progress for a heartbeat.

"You know that evil Ice king's mate?" King Zeneron hissed.

"Calm down, sire. She and her son, Frostbite, are not at all like those tyrants were. In fact, she hated King Cold with every fiber of her being and wished to all heaven that she could have killed him. Then when her sons began mistreating you Saiya-jin, well, for her that was the outside of enough, so she took the baby and went into hiding on Planet Minerva. A group of Ice-jin from a rock called Kellogg-18 were sent to search for her and the boy and told to exterminate any and all Saiya-jin, Tsuria-jin and Rockaria-jin they found in their search. It was several years later that they tracked her to Minerva and found dark Saiya-jin residing on the planet. They fought those of your race still alive, until a giant were-gorilla began to stomp them flat. Following that excitement, a warrior, shrouded in a golden flame appeared, and destroyed the remains of that icy army. Anyway, Yocina is a love and so are her sisters, you'll see, once you meet them. Now, before this rabble thaws to an uncomfortable temperature, let's get them to Nursha's belly, " Mordobon laughed as he led the group to a balcony like platform. "Now, from here, just toss. His tongue will collect them," the elder Tsurian prince instructed as he threw his cargo overboard then the others followed suit.

Once the Ice-jin had been tossed to the planet for ingestion, Mordobon and Mushra led the groups back to the interior of the ship and back into the sitting room where the Tsurian prince rang for refreshments then motioned for his guests to be seated.

"Have you ever wondered why neither Frieza nor his brother or sire ever came to this rock to deliver you themselves?" Mordo asked as he lounged against his large Saiyan mate.

"The thought had crossed our minds, but if what you just mentioned of that race being this rock's favorite delicacy, I can see why they stayed well away from it," Ouji Vegeta nodded knowingly.

"Quite so. He's sorry, you know? Nursha is. He remembers every victim thrown to him. He says you Saiya-jin gave him the worse indigestion. Something in your blood killed everything in his stomach and it took him months to regenerate! He knows why you all have returned and that was to overcome your fears of his innards. When Yocina, Queen Igloo, found out what her third son was doing and how he was poisoning this rock, she was livid! She and Frostbite would come to this rock and rescue you once she no longer felt your energies. She knew that you were allies with the snake queen, so the two would bring you there," Mordobon related and the Saiya-jin sat in disbelief.

"Valeria told us that she sent one of her little ones with us and he would eat the planet's innards?" King Vegeta remarked.

"She had to. Vincentians love the creatures that inhabit the planet. Why do you think their venom is so toxic?" Mordobon asked as he accepted a glass of amber green liquid from a servant. "You'll enjoy this, it's made from the juices of our enemy's heart," the blue prince nodded.

"Mordo, what you were saying earlier about the planet being sorry for what he did to us. How did you know?" Ouji Vegeta asked as he sipped at his drink.

"The planet can send out telepathic waves and I've spent long periods on the surface and have learned how to interpret them. I hope I caused no offense by doing so," Mordobon sighed as he finished his drink.

"No, it was just surprising, that's all," Vegeta Ouji nodded as he finished his drink as well.

The occupants of the room had just settled into an easy coze when a blinding light engulfed the area and caused all within to shield their eyes. When the group was able to see, their eyes beheld five-china doll looking creatures, that were under six feet tall like Princes Vegeta, Jeice and Hiei of the Makai. In fact, all five resembled the short fire youkai but looked more like his twin sister Yukina whom the Saiyan prince and his mate had met briefly before they left Earth. All resembled living ice sculptures with ruby colored almond shaped eyes and long crystal blue hair that danced in an invisible wind. Upon seeing the creatures, Mordobon and his mate stood and bowed. Their guests followed suit.

"Rise, my friends. Mordosa, have you found that which I requested of you?" one of the ice sculptures asked with a sweet smile on her lovely face.

"I have, my lady. My guests were about to feed them to poor Nursha-2 and that I just could not let happen. Permit me-"

"We are already acquainted, my child, but from the look about their faces, I see they recognize me not. Perhaps this form will aid in reminding you," the crystal being nodded, closed her eyes and shifted into...

"QUEEN IGLOO! B-but-how?" the guests asked in varying forms of the question, their mouths hanging open in disbelief.

"This is the guise I was wearing when we met on Minerva over six Saiyan months ago but it is not my true form," the being answered as she melted back into the ice sculpture form. "My truest name is Yocina. These are my four sisters, Lucina, Yujina, Icinia, and Marina and we are from a race called the Koorime, or ice apparitions that live in the Makai or the next dimension, if you will. There used to be six of us, but our eldest sister, Hina, was murdered for birthing a forbidden male child into our race," Yocina informed the group.

"Why were you guised as an one of those Ice-jin snakes?" Ou Vegeta asked as he admired the ice maiden.

"We all had to be, it was so ordered by the elders of our race. We had to also bare Hina's shame. Our race is technically asexual and can reproduce without aid. Hina gave birth to a set of twins, a boy with a flame shaped black head of hair with a white starburst in his bangs and a girl with crystal blue hair such as ours. When the elders found this out, they tossed the male child from our home, which was a floating island in the Makai but not after Hina had gifted the twins with one of her crystal tear gems so that one day they might find one another. We protested such mistreatment and for such behavior were also tossed from the island. The female babe was accepted into the fold. We found the male babe and the five of us took the boy. We cared for him until he was about the age of one in our terms, then we had to let him go. We were wanted outlaws and had to flee, thus we could not take the little one. I was glad the Koorime had accepted the girl; however, the boy we had to leave. But being outlaws was not our only digression," Yocina turned hard ruby colored eyes to her sister Marina. "Miss Marina had to go and fall in love with one of the most notorious kitsune thieves in the Makai and this one had to fall for the most violent one!" Yocina ranted.

"Sasshoumeru said that he loved me. I had six kits for him. I had no idea he was that ruthless as to try and kill his own brother over a sword," Lucina lamented.

"He'd cut his own mother's heart out and eat it! And don't get me started on Youko Kurama! All he had to do was wave that silver mane of his about, or look at a being with those bright golden eyes and that being was caught. For those crimes, I was forced into marriage with King Cold. Oh, damn, Brunia and her overactive hormones for allying with the Arcosians and bringing forth the Ice-jin!" Yocina hung her head and let the tears flow: tears that clinked when they hit the ground.

"The Arcosians! Our ancestors formed an alliance with those creatures because they had technology that our race needed and because we had killed the Tuffles that we had shared our original home planet with. Ma'am would you care to continue this discussion with the rest of my race? We both have information that may befit the other race," Ou Vegeta invited and Lady Yocina, after recovering from her upset, agreed.

King Vegeta instructed the Koorime, the Tsuria-jin, Rockaria-jin and all others to grab hold of the ship as his sons, Princes Zarbon and Jeice, Bardock and the Saiyan king, himself, would use their instant movement techniques to teleport the entire craft and crew to the Saiyan home planet. King Vegeta informed his female mate of the impending arrival and to have numerous servants waiting to lead the guests to rooms to refresh themselves before any heavy business would transpire.

The craft materialized in the landing bay and was met by the two Saiyan queens, Lady Onya, and the other females of the high council and several mixed breed Tsurian/Saiya-jin, mainly those born of Raditz. Paragus happened to be on the platform performing routine maintenance of the native crafts when the visitors disembarked, thus he looked up and came to full attention at the sight of his king and royal princes as others followed suit. The king stopped a few feet from the bottom of the ramp and nodded to his people. Before they had exited the ship, Lady Yocina and Mordobon had picked up the glittering gems from the floor of the sitting room then followed the others.

"My friends, it is with great pleasure I introduce you to King Zeneron, King Jordonair, Princes Zarbon, Turbon, Jeice and Mordobon," the Ou indicated the royalty of the orange and blue races. "Make welcome, Ladies Yocina, Yujina, Icinia, Lucina and Marina and last but not least, Mushra," the monarch continued.

'Mushra? No, it can't be. He was killed with the planet but...' Paragus wrestled with himself to not look up when his king said the name.

"Paragus," it was more a command and the warrior looked up, straight into a mirror.

Had the large warrior not been kneeling for the king, his knees would have given out at the sight his eyes now beheld. Paragus felt his heart rate increase several fold and his breathing accelerate to hypervention. Uncontrollably, Paragus' head rolled back and he passed out.

"Mon frere!" Mushra shouted as he ran and caught his brother before he hit the ground. Lifting his twin, Mushra turned and looked to his king, his black eyes stricken with concern.

A powder blue skinned being approached the large Saiyan and bowed. "Sir, permit me to take you to his quarters where you can revive him. Your majesty, if I may?" the being asked the king who dismissed the creature with a flick of his wrist.

The queen then turned to regard the others. "Radobon, take your grandsire, sire and uncle to the guest wing where your grandmother, Zyra and the children are, and I shall bring your Uncle Mordobon," the Saiyan queen instructed one of Raditz half-breeds. "Vejeice, take your family to your grandmother and step-mother," Sunrissa instructed a small orange cream skinned being that was a blend of Prince Vegeta and Jeice with long spiked salt and pepper hair. Vejeice complied and beckoned his sire Jeice and the others to follow him. Sunrissa then turned back to her mate, near brother Bardock, her sons and Mardobon. "Well, dear, you're looking quite the thing. Last we saw you was on Minerva when those horrid Kellogg-18 maggots attacked. How have you been as late?" the queen asked as she led the rest from the landing bay.

"I am well, your highness, but would it be a bother to find a place to lay my brood and I surely must feed the infant," the elder Tsurian prince sighed as he cradled a newborn in his arms.

Looking back, the Saiyan queen saw what her blue guest alluded to. "My apologies, especially to my sons and my mate. They also have newborns to feed and that battle disrupted the setting of a time schedule. Come, loves, Onya, Imione and the rest of us will take you to where you can refresh and feed the chimps. My king, my sons, we will see you at feast time. My ladies," Sunrissa nodded and the council of females along with the guests left the king, Bardock and the sons to their own devices.

"Sire, we can't feed our cubs, we lack the necessary equipment!" Prince Vegeta gasped.

King Vegeta had been in the middle of removing his armor as had Bardock, then the two turned to their sons. The eyes of the male offspring bulged in disbelief as they beheld their male parents' chest.

"Sire! Y-Yo-"

"No, we don't. It just appears that we do but this is what happens when our bodies work correctly after we deliver. Our upper body protrudes forward due to an increase in the fluid the infant developed in. Remove your armor and you may be surprised," the king nodded and the boys removed their armor.

"OUTUSAN! Does... Does-"

"No, Ichison, it does not. We are still fully male, it's just we can nourish the chimps the same as the females. Go, refresh yourselves then nourish the babes. We'll be in our suite to tell you how we are able to undertake such a task," the king told his sons who reluctantly left their male parent.

Raditz headed for his chamber and his handsome mate. When he entered the room, his mouth dropped, however, the longer he gazed, the more he became accustomed to the fact. Then, no longer able to resist the smile that tugged at his stern lips, the large Saiyan moved to join his mate. Taeo had left the ship as soon it landed so that he could refresh himself and begin feeding the chimps.

"You've done that before, have you not, my one?" Raditz asked as he gently sat beside his mate who turned to smile up at him.

"Well, I do have thirty cubs, y'know. Care for a try? Looks as if you need to. Go get Tyritza and Romanata after you strip off the top half of your uniform. Honey, there's no other feeling like it," Tormataeo smiled as he watched his large mate undress.

"Can it wait until I have a quick wash? I'd hate for the chimps to become unwell so early in their existence," the big warrior smiled, kissed the matusan then headed to take a wash.

Following his wash, the large Saiyan lifted his other pair of twins, joined his mate on their Slugarthian made bed, positioned the chimps at his chest and leaned his head against Tomataeo's to enjoy the sensation of nourishing chimps of his body.


In another room, Trageta and Goten were with their brothers Jahrid and Mirai instructing them on how to nourish their infants. Collyard was instructing his mate Kale, Onya was with Gohan and Piccolo. Sunrissa was with her eldest male born Saiyan grandsons and the king and his mate after a refreshing wash had taken their quads to nourish them.


"I just don't see how we can nourish the chimps as well as the females! Did you know that we had that capability, my prince?" Kakarrot asked his royal mate as the two showered in separate stalls.

"I discovered it when I had the boys but because Raditz and I were still slaves to that white horror, we could not experience the joy of nourishing the chimps. The first time I was ever able to nourish a cub of my body was with Teresahan. It had relaxed me to no end and I found that I couldn't wait to nourish her. To hold her in my arms like... Well, holding her was like holding you and it aided in helping me come to terms with what you had done," Vegeta's dark eyes misted over with emotion as he thought of the time... Shaking his head, the prince looked up into the concerned face of his mate.

"What's wrong, love?" the big warrior asked his prince.

Gasping, the prince replied, "Oh, don't mind me. I'm all right," Vegeta smiled as he completed his wash.

Nodding, Kakarrot ended his wash as well. "How do we nourish the chimps? Is it different than when a female does the job? I had only seen that female nourish Gohan from a distance, otherwise, she freaked if I so much as glimpse at her unclothed form," the consort replied his mate as he chi dried himself off.

"It's the same principle, love, only we're providing. Surprisingly, it's also a profound fire starter. Once we're done with the chimps, I won't kill you if you jump me," Vegeta grinned into his mate's bright face, entwined his arms around the large neck then drew the other warrior into a deep kiss.

Kakarrot wrapped the smaller bodied prince in a tight hug and tried to fuse with his mate until a piercing sound dampened the cloud upon which they had begun to float. The prince pushed his mate away with reluctance and Kakarrot put his hand behind his head and laughed that trademark laugh the prince had once found so annoying.

"C'mon, Matusan, our children are hungry," Vegeta smirked as they dressed in matching royal blue pajama pants and teal loose fitting short kimono robes, then, joining their tails, the parents went to care for their brood.

Vegeta instructed Kakarrot to sit against the powder blue Slugarthian head board of their bed, then Vegeta lifted Carota and Kakageta from hammocks made of Araknian webbing and took them to his large mate.

"Now, cradle them like you would normally do when you hold them but closer to your chest. They'll nuzzle and search for a bit then you'll feel like your insides are being sucked out through your spikes," the shorter Saiyan warned as he retrieved Velmora and Vegekarrot, after he had placed their sibs in their other parent's arms.

The ability to defy gravity was a great asset and the prince levitated with his chimps against his chest and already attached. Once settled, the prince cast a quick glance at his mate and could not control himself if he tried.

"I wish I had a camera right about now! Kakarrot, you look as if you just landed in a den of Araknia! They're our cubs, puss; they won't bite for another few weeks, yet. No need to fear them," Vegeta howled in laughter.

"It just so weird! We deliver them and we can nourish them as well! It feels so strange to feed them like the females. I thought that's why we bi-mated? I guess now we-"

"No, my love. You know how Saiya-jin eat and the demand is twice as high with the chimps! We can't go it alone, well, I know I can't. I couldn't feed them 48/14-104/24 (Kale time is 2x Earth). That's why after birth they're put on milk tank for feeding until we are able to perform to function. Teray nearly sent me to Other World with you," Vegeta gave a shudder at that thought and Kakarrot wrapped his thick tail about his small mate's shoulders.

"Cold, mi amour?" he asked.

Vegeta shook his head. "No, just a terrible thought. If I had of died back then... Never mind that. I couldn't nourish the boys because our brother and myself were still the slaves of that white perverted worm. I couldn't nourish our other two as we had had that dispute between us and I left the planet for a time. We found ourselves liberating one of our own strongholds, then, after returning to Earth, Mirai returned, I took ill with the quads and we were nearly four months in coming here. I would love to have nourished Roma and Chardy but with every thing that was transpiring and the environment... They can't handle male breeding. They'd go totally postal at male nourishing! But now, my love one, we can be the bi-gendered creatures that we are without ridicule and without censure! Kakarrot, I never thought during any part of my miserable existence that I ever experience true happiness. I'm proud to say that, and now that I have, I wouldn't trade it for anything! I've never been as happy as I am now, here with you, the cubs, our families and our race. And I never thought that there was any love stronger than that of my mother's, however, you changed that. Thank you, mi koi, for everything," the prince sighed in a wistful manner and caressed his mate with his thick tail.

"Thank you for pounding my Saiyan heritage into me at every turn and for never giving up on me, even in... Thank you for accepting my sons as your own and for bringing us home," Kakarrot returned his mate's tail caress.

The sound of a clearing throat alerted the star-crossed lovers to another presence. "I hope I'm not disturbing much, but I just had to see your chimps! If it's a bloody bad time, I'll come back," a cooish voice sounded from the doorway of the nursery.

The parents looked up into the face of the elder blue prince who had shifted into his beefier male form and was wearing a deep burnt orange Chinese styled two piece silk knee length top and straight-legged pants. His aqua hair had been pulled back into the customary ponytail of his race and he wore a pair of light blue soft slippers.

"Mordobon, you changed and that outfit!" Vegeta gasped in disbelief.

"Love calm down, remember the chimps can feel what we do through our links. Let's see to their needs before we distress over our own," the large Saiyan remarked as he shifted his charges to levitate, take one in his tail so that he could burp the first.

"Calm down? Kakarrot?" the prince whimpered, as did the chibi that milked on his right hand side as she detected his distress. 'K koi, I made that outfit for-"

'It's okay, little brother, ah, Matusan, we made dozens of the same outfit and that's not even the best one. Besides, the greatest gift you ever gave Kakarrot was us, don't quiver over a piece of cloth. Ya gotta admit he looks smashing in it. Besides, if he's seen in one of our garbs, it may start a new fashion trend! And I know that you prefer deigning and clothes making to bloodthirsty battle,' a voice spoke to the prince in his head.

Vegeta looked down at the infant on his right side and noted the near sleeping little Oujo. A smirk lifted his lips then he leaned to kiss the chimp on her largest spike. 'No wonder I've always loved you, Velly. You always know what to say to calm me. Thank you sis and it does become him handsomely,' the prince replied then looked up at his blue guest. "Consider it a gift for all you've done in finding our lost and displaced members," the Saiyan prince nodded as he levitated to burp his chibis then put them to bed and positioning the nipple of a milk tank for them when they needed.

"Thank you, love, it's my pleasure to be able to aid all three races victimized by that tyrant. Y'know, I saw Velmora in an outfit similar to this one not long hence on Minervasei. She has always been my idol and is one reason I stay in my femme form and her clothes are to die for! I do hope she constructed this piece. I'd give anything to wear her designs!" the elder blue prince sighed, stars in his golden eyes.

"You were on Minervasei and saw Velmora? I sensed you not, you must be very adept at hiding your chi," Vegeta remarked as he moved to obtain a pair of matching pajama tops to the pants he and his mate wore. Turning back to their guest after obtaining the shirts, the Saiyan prince replied, "And, yes, Velly did design that outfit. She wears nothing unless either of us had made it or she absolutely loves it. She's very hard to please and very picky," Vegeta snickered.

Kakarrot moved to his mate, hugged then kissed him on the cheek. "Sounds like a certain smaller prince that I know," he chuckled then the near silence was distorted as twin roars sounded and Kakarrot looked to his red faced mate. "C'mon, love, we've tended to their hunger, let's tend to ours," the large Saiyan said, bent down and swooped the prince into his arms.

"Kakarrot, put me down this instant, you idiot! We have guests about!" the slight Saiyan prince beat against his captor's chest with little success as Kakarrot led them from the nursery and Itonian nursemaids entered to watch over the brood.

"You can't say you don't enjoy that. Mate's love to surprise. Shra jumps me from out of nowhere, lifts me onto his shoulders then he'll fly me some place where we can be alone. He knows I'm such a romantic puss and will arrange some little thing he feels I would like," the blue prince blushed a deep purple as he spoke.

The three made their way down a long hallway from the prince's wing of the palace and all was nearly quiet when a shriek pierced the silence.

"Shra, you big ape put me down! I thought you were sparring with your brother, love," the blue Tsurian smiled into his mate's face.

"Got hungry. After Pary woke from his slumber, he wanted to be sure I was alive, so we battled until our stomachs spoke loudly. I heard what you were saying. Say, where are the cubs?" Mushra asked as he set his tall mate on the floor but wrapped his tail around him to hold him tight.

"Yes, Mordo, I was about to inquire the same thing," Vegeta echoed the large Saiyan's query.

"One of the ones you delivered for Zarbon gathered them and took them to interact with a number of other chimps and I haven't seen them since. One of Ou Vegeta's half blood offspring took the infant to be with others around his age. I do hope they're behaving themselves. They can cause such mischief, especially Madosha and Shrabon, our two eldest. They delight in wreaking havoc," Mordobon fretted and at that exact moment an explosion sounded from the far end of the palace where the gravity trainers were located.

"Grab hold!' Vegeta told the other set of parents and instant transmissioned the four of them to the site of the blast.

When the parents materialized at the site, their brains had trouble processing what their eyes were seeing. The area, where once stood a wing that housed gravity rooms and gyms was littered with debris and bodies. It was impossible to fathom such a disaster of this magnitude, however, looking around at the size of the victims, remembering the gravity of the planet and the age the victims were, such a calamity would have happened at some point.

"Vegeta. A-are they dead?" Kakarrot asked, his eyes, like those of the others, wide in disbelief.

Snapping from his shock at the sudden question, Vegeta rounded on his mate and jump kicked him to the ground. "No, don't say that! They're members of the strongest fighting races in the universe! Battle cannot harm them!" Vegeta choked s he fought his sorrow at the horrific sight before him.

The Saiyan prince then fell mute. He could not believe the vision that his eyes beheld. Babies, they were just babies... Ouji Vegeta and all parents gathered who had chimps over the age of one Saiyan year howled in anguish.
