Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Other World ❯ Chapter 8

Aiya walked throughout the palace by way of a secret passage till she came to the room she was looking for.

It was a soundproof room. The room where she would question this "Vegeta" to find out about his true plans.

Aiya walked in and sat down on the only chair in the room. In front of her was a desk with pen and paper.

Soon after five guards came into the room along with Vegeta. 3 of them were her royal guard.

Those who could, bowed before her then all but the two guards who weren't part of Her Royal Guard left and stood outside by the door after they bowed. Vegeta was chained by his arms to the far wall.

"You." said Vegeta as he glared at Aiya with a look that could kill

"So I see you're still resisting little Prince." she said the last word full of sarcasm, "The quicker you answer these questions, the better for you understand?"

Aiya didn't even give him a chance to answer before she spoke again. "Are you one of them?"

"Them?" Vegeta questioned

"One of those who aims to destroy our race. One of the Icejins."

"Icejins!" Vegeta exclaimed. Frieza had been an Icejin. Vegeta had considered the race dead since King Cold and Frieza had both been killed by that lavender haired boy. Then another thought entered Vegeta's mind. If these people knew of the Icejins then maybe they weren't in a different dimension at all.

A sharp pain in his left arm brought Vegeta back from his thoughts. When he looked up at it, he noticed dripping blood. It didn't hurt all that much, but it did tingle unpleasantly.

"So," said Aiya calmly "You do know about the Icejins."

"I know enough about them to know I'm not one. I'd rather cut off my tail than say that I am."

"Stop playing games and answer the question. Its obvious that you don't have a tail anyway."

"Maybe if you beg then I'll act serious." Vegeta said with a smirk. Aiya on the other hand was not in the mood for games. She did have other things to do.

"Shel." she said referring to the blue guy with short, light green hair who had a pointed staff in his hand. Vegeta noticed that the tip had blood on it and guessed that this was the guy who had cut him before.

"You think you can hurt me?" asked Vegeta "That last his felt as light as a feather."

His criticism fell on deaf ears. Shel simply took Vegeta from his binds, kicked him in the stomach while he held him, then tossed him to the two guards who had been standing by the door. They walked out again after receiving a signal from their queen, but not before bowing.

"My Queen." came a voice from behind her. She turned and saw that it was Yal. In back of him were Shel and Eis

"Yes?"

"Do you think he's one of them?"

"I don't know. It's possible that he could have been lying about not being an Icejin, but with Klopet here the prophecy must be close to becoming true."

"Yes I agree." There was a silence in the room then Aiya gave a slight nod of her head, and her three guards bowed then left to go about their business. Aiya also left. She had to get back to Klopet.

Yamcha had been walking for a while and still there was no sign of Aiya. The people in the palace hadn't even seen her. It didn't help that most of the time he spent talking to them was occupied by bowing which they did several times for no truly apparent reason except that he was there.

Finally after a long time of wandering Yamcha found a place where he was sure Aiya was. After all what other place would have two guards watching the door if the Queen wasn't inside?

The two guards bowed to him as Yamcha knew they would, then one of them asked Yamcha what he was looking for. Yamcha responded saying that he was looking for Aiya.

Both guards told Yamcha that they had not seen her and performed another bow.

"What's here then?" asked Yamcha curiously. Anything that needed guards must have been important and might give Yamcha a clue as to why he was here, or even tell him how to get back.

"This is the prison. Right now we have five prisoners, but the two newest ones are both off-worlders." Said one of the guards.

"One has hair that points straight up like fire, except its black. The other has blue hair and eyes to match. It also has strange things on its chest."

After the two bowed again, Yamcha asked if he could go in. He was certain that Bulma was in there.

The two guards were more than happy to allow him in, but before Yamcha could really go in a guide had to be chosen of the two guards to go with him.

This being the case, Yamcha had to stay outside for 3 more minutes as the two guards argued over who would go with him. In the end one guard won out by saying that he had seniority over the other.

Finally after both guards bowed, Yamcha and his "guide" walked into the prison and down the corridors. Soon they were at the cell Yamcha was looking for. He wasn't looking for what he saw in it though.

"B..Bulma!!!"

Vegeta struggled right up until the guards threw him in the cell and once in he barraged them with curses. Some of the more colorful ones he had borrowed from the woman.

When they were gone he allowed himself to calm down and turned to face the woman who was staring at him with a raised eyebrow.

"That bad?" she asked.

Vegeta ignored her question and instead told her about the thing that was stuck in his mind.

"They said something about the Icejins."

"Icejins?" Bulma asked, then her eyes widened when she realized what it meant "Frieza was an Icejin and he was in our dimension!!"

Vegeta was about to respond when the tingling sensation in his arm returned. Automatically his other arm went to it and attempted to cover the wound.

Bulma caught this action and for the first time noticed the cut.

"Vegeta what happened!" she exclaimed and quickly pushed him onto the pallet

"Woman it's just a scratch" Vegeta said and attempted to keep his arm to himself, but Bulma was too quick and strong for him. Once she had gotten a good look at the cut, Bulma pined Vegeta down with her knee and ripped two pieces of her shirt. Then she removed her knee.

With one piece she wiped the blood away as best as she could and with the other she made a bandage and wrapped it around his arm.

"Ok all done" Bulma said while she was still looking down at his arm.

"Woman I told you I didn't need…." Vegeta stopped talking as a tear fell on his arm

"Woman what's wrong with you?" he asked

"It's all my fault Vegeta." Said Bulma's voice almost in a whisper "If I hadn't thrown the gravity core at you the none of this would have happened. I mean even if the Icejins do come what does that mean for us? We die by way of them? And what about At home? What's going to happen to them with the androids?"

Normally Vegeta would have told Bulma to stop acting like such a child. Normally he would have left her alone. Normally he wouldn't have lifted up her chin and stared into her blue eyes. And most definitely under normal circumstances he wouldn't have leaned in and kissed her, but things hadn't been normal for a while and this was no different.

Surprisingly Bulma didn't resist, but she didn't respond either almost as if she were a lifeless dummy.

`No' Vegeta thought `This just doesn't feel right. What's wrong with me?!" Vegeta was about to pull away when a yell sounded through the cell and made the process quicker.

"B…Bulma!!!"
