Chapter 2

All the Saiyans except Marita quickly ran outside to investigate, only to find nothing there.

"Ohhh…Kayyyy," said Regirta slowly. "What's going on here?"

"Not a clue," Dayis replied.

Suddenly, they heard a crash coming from inside the house, followed by a piercing scream.

"BULMA!" shouted Vegeta.

"MARITA!" shouted Dayis.

"Come on; we gotta check it out!" Regirta cried.

The three of them went inside to find an unconscious pair of young women in the arms of a longhaired man. One woman had aqua-colored hair with ivory skin. The other had the signature golden hair of a Super Saiyan. The man was wearing a uniform of some kind with a weird symbol on the back of his shirt. It looked like a bow with a white R in each end.

Just then, Goku appeared in the middle of the room using his Instant Transmission. (narrator: haven't you noticed that the name of Goku's teleportation technique sounds a lot like the name of a car part? ^_^) He took one look at the man and got into a fighting stance. "General Tao…"

"Excuse me?" said Vegeta. "You know this guy?"

Turning to his fellow Saiyan, Goku nodded. "General Tao was the military leader of the old Red Ribbon Army, second only to Dr. Gero. I thought I had killed him. Heh heh, guess not." Turning back to Tao, he asked, "What do you want with Marita and Bulma?"

"Simple," Tao replied. "I'm going to take them to Dr. Gero so he can act his revenge on them."

"SAY WHAT?!" cried Vegeta and Dayis at the same time.

"What are you talking about?" Regirta asked angrily. "TELL ME!!!!"

"All right, I will," said Tao. "Goku defeated the Red Ribbon Army, but Bulma and Marita were the ones who defeated Gero. We were partners at the time and have currently renewed our friendship. He asked me to bring him these two and I agreed to do so. Besides, he knew I was the only one who can control Bulma, since Bulma can draw her power from the planet. Marita, on the other hand, is just plain strong."

If she can do that, thought Vegeta, then that would mean that she's an Andromedan. But how? Frieza had destroyed…Wait a sec. OF COURSE; She must be that princess who I helped escape from Andromeda, the one who…who...Vegeta blushed a deep red, the memory of a certain girl's kiss running through his mind. I wondered why she and Marita appeared to be so close.

"You're not getting them, Tao," said a voice, interrupting Vegeta's thoughts.

Everyone turned to see a young human girl standing in the doorway. Her blonde hair cascaded down her back, except for a part in front, which was braided and wrapped by a blue hair wrap. "Let them go, Tao, or suffer the consequences."

"Too late!" shouted Tao, and he blasted off, Vegeta and Dayis close behind him. The human came to stand beside Regirta.

"Looks like everything is going according to plan, Ashleigh," Regirta said. "You were right."

"Told ya," Ashleigh replied. "Come on. I wanna see the moment when Bulma cuts loose and blows Tao sky high with her powers. That's the key to making this plan work, you know." Goku appeared to be clueless (as usual), causing the girls to giggle. They flew off in the same direction Tao and the two lovestruck Saiyans had gone.

Tao flew into the Zumite Zubri Mountains in the direction of Dr. Willow's old lab, where Android 17 was waiting.

"Hello, Tao," said the android.

"Greetings, 17. I have brought the two females like I promised."

"Excellent. Dr. Gero is expecting you. Please follow me."

Tao followed 17 into the fortress, unaware that two powerful men were right behind him.

"Vegeta and Dayis had followed the old Red Ribbon general and sneaked inside after him, careful to keep their power levels suppressed, lest they be discovered.

"Maybe that kid is one of the two androids we were warned about," Dayis commented.

"Who cares," Vegeta replied. "Let's just get what's ours and go. Bulma wouldn't last very long against them."

"Yeah, and that Tao guy managed to knock out Marita, when she was in Super Saiyan mode!"

Tao was led into the main lab, where Dr. Gero was waiting. Next to him was another android. 17's sister, Android 18.

"Why, hello, General Tao," greeted 18. How are you today? I noticed you target have invited some of their friends to attend our little party."

"WHAT?!" cried Tao. "I don't have a clue as to what you are talking about!"

"See for yourself," she said curtly, and stepped aside.

Behind the mechanical diva, two very angry young men ran in. Both had wild black hair, but the shorter one's stood straight up.

"So you must be Dr. Gero," Vegeta said to the old man, wearing his usual smirk, of course. "I hear you are working on a pair of androids that could destroy us. Well, I don't think that that's gonna happen."

Just then, Bulma and Marita came to.

"Where the fuck are we?" Marita wondered. She took one look at the old man seated at the console and got into a fighting stance. "Well, well, well, Dr. Gero…heh; never thought I'd see your ugly face again.

"Nice to see you again, too," Gero replied coolly. "Same to you, Bulma Brief."

"Dr. Gero!" she yelped. "What the hell is going on?!"

~~~~~MEANWHILE~~~~~

"Come on, Ashleigh," Regirta shouted. "I know you can go faster than that."

"I'm trying, Regirta," Ashleigh replied. "It's just that I don't want to be detected by Gero's sensors.

"What."

"Yeah. He's got the whole place rigged. But we can get to the main lab undetected if we go through the vents. Follow me."

"Whatever you say, Ash."

Just then an explosion rocked the entire fortress.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!?!"

~~~~~BACK IN THE LAB~~~~~

Vegeta and Dayis were lying unconscious on the floor, thanks to 17 and 18.

"So, how are you two enjoying this so far?" Gero asked his 'guests'. "I must admit that they were rather persistent in trying to rescue you. Though I don't see why."

"How dare you," said Bulma in a dangerously low voice.

'Bulma,' Marita cried telepathically. 'Why won't you use your powers? Frieza's gone; you can use them again without fear.'

'But I haven't used them in so long,' Bulma replied. 'I may not be able to call upon them anymore.'

'Look, Bulma. Last time I checked, you were in love with Vegeta. You and I both know you can't have him if you're both DEAD. So just cut loose. Remember that I have Andromedan blood in me as well. I'll help you.'

'Okay. Here goes.'

Suddenly, a bright blue aura surrounded Bulma and Marita. Bulma's clothes changed into a gorgeous blue silk gown. Marita's clothes then changed. They became Saiyan armor, the kind that the royal family would wear, except instead of the crest of Vejitasei painted over her heart, it was the crest of her family.

A strange looking shell then appeared in Bulma's hand. She started blowing in one end. Out came a beautiful haunting melody. (I'm using Lugia's Song from Pokémon 2000 as the song Bulma plays. I'm also using Melody's shell/flute.) Suddenly, the planet started to glow the same color as Bulma and Marita. Marita fueled the song with her own power, drawing even more strength from the Earth.

"What's going on?!" 18 cried.

"Their calling upon the planet for help," 17 said in a worried voice. "They're gonna use the planet's energy to attack us."

"Say what?!?!?!?!?!"

Vegeta and Dayis came to and saw Marita and Bulma levitating a soft blue aura surrounding them. Suddenly an enormous ki blast seemed to erupt from the ground, hitting 17 and 18, knocking them unconscious.

"Wow…" Vegeta said in an awed voice. "Now I know why Bulma looked so familiar when I saw her on Namek. She is the crown princess of Andromeda, the one I helped escape."

"Yeah," added Dayis. "And from what I see, Marita has Andromedan blood in her as well." But how much? He wondered.

Just then, the aura around Bulma & Marita faded and the planet stopped glowing. Exhausted, they slipped into unconsciousness.
