stared upon the moon. He never realized how big it actually was and from the looks of it, held hundreds of thousands of creatures that had been running from the killer of worlds. Or so that was what he had believed. Now, however he knew, the Pure King had created a kingdom right inside his own empire. How funny. How funny that the Pure King was Kali.

Vela, where had he misplaced his judgment? Why had he been so blind? If he won this, his kingdom was going to question him as their ruler. He was going to be challenged. Being the strongest wasn’t going to mean anything now.

“Daddy.” Bra’s voice echoed the empty hallway. He glanced at her but then turned away. “Daddy, what’s going to happen?”

“I don’t know, Bra.”

“I mean. Are you going….are you going to kill Kali? Daddy, you can’t. You have to hear him out. You don’t know if he’s the one. You don’t know why he did it, if he did it.”

“He took your brother.” Vegeta grit, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, clenched in his anger.

“There was a reason. I’m sure Trunks is fine, please, daddy, you have to hear him out. There is a reason, I know there’s a reason.” Vegeta shut his eyes as he heard her cry softly. This was Bulma’s department. What was he supposed to do? “Daddy, let me talk to him.”

“No. I will not allow any more weakness on my part. You should not have even come. You will stay on this ship and you will not move. You will take care of your mother. Do you understand?”

“Mom? What’s wrong with mom?”

Vegeta turned to her. “Kali had her poisoned. She is dying because of him.” He stared right at her, knowing not what else to do. He needed Bra to be understanding. He needed Bra’s approval when the decision to kill Kali becomes required. This was the only way to do it.

Bra shook her head as her father left her.

Goten opened his eyes. The greenish liquid was wrapped all around him. He could never get use to these tanks. He had not planned on using this while on the way to the moon but he figured he needed to be at his best if he was going to go up against anyone, if not Kali himself. But somehow he figured Kali was way more powerful then him now anyway.

It was Bra that he found sitting at the table in front of him. Her head was lowered down upon her arms, resting on the table but her big blue eyes stared at him. So she found him. Hell, it wasn’t like he was trying to avoid her when he was dodging down unknown hallways and into unknown rooms but he had managed not to meet with her until now.

The liquid quickly drained, it felt awkward to set his feet on the floor again but he quickly stabilized and got out, quickly wiping himself off with a towel and hurrying to put clothes on all the while ignoring the female staring at him.

Goten was easily going to walk out of the room but his name was called and he could no longer disregard her. He turned with a exasperated sigh and went back to the table and sat on the other end.

“What do you want me to say?” She whispered. He shook his head with a small laugh. “I’m sorry? Will that make you happy?”

“No. What will make me happy, Bra, is having a girlfriend that loves me and only me.”

“You know. You fought so hard for me. And now, you are giving up.”

“I’m not giving up. I just know this is something I cannot win. Bra, I know he’s stronger then me. He wasn’t before, so I wasn’t worried. But now that he is back, he is different. As I tried to you. I can’t beat him now.”

“I’m not asking you to fight him! Goten, I already decided who I want to be with. I chose you. It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s stronger.”

“Then why?”

“What?”

“Why did you chose me?” He watched her, her mouth wide with her speechlessness. And he waited for her to say something. Soon however her mouth shut and she leaned back in her chair with tears in her eyes. She stared at him out of respect but she had nothing more to say. He smiled. “Can’t even say it’s because you love me, huh?” He shook his head and quickly left the room.

Vegeta gaped at the ten inch needle that he held in his hand. He took his eyes to his mate and shook his head. “I will not.” He protested handing it back to her.

“Vegeta, do this. It will give me. More time.” She panted from her position on the bed. Her chest was exposed and her hands gripped the sheets with intense fear as she herself looked upon the needle. “Please.” She begged.

Vegeta grit his teeth as the intercom came on alerting him that they were about to land. He took a deep breath, catching his mate’s gaze and holding it as he slammed the needle down in her and injecting adrenaline straight into her system. She screamed out in pain but with seconds after the removal of the needle she ripped off the covers and stood. She smiled brightly, wiping the tears of pain from her face. “I have one hour to find the cure before I crash. Let’s go.” Her heart was pounding and eyes wide with the high.

The couple met up with Goten and Bra who didn’t seem to notice one another. Bulma quickly took command. “Bra and I will go and find the computer network system. Goten you will protect us while Vegeta fights off everyone else.”

“I do not like this.” Vegeta protested.

“Too bad, Vegeta. I need a cure and you’re going to be too busy. While we’re looking we’ll find Trunks.” Bulma strapped a ray gun to her forearm. “Just make sure you stay alive.” Vegeta narrowed his eyes but ignored it as the newly appointed captain came up ready for orders.

The doors opened only to reveal a war.

Roughly two hundred Sayians stood at attention surrounding their ship. It was deserters of the throne. How predictable. It would be easy enough with the help of his fifty soldiers but it would definitely take some time. Vegeta stepped out with his family and soldiers right behind him. He was looking for a leader but Kali was no where to be seen.

Bulma came up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder, “You better come to my rescue.”

“You better be alive when I do.” She smiled and with Goten and Bra right behind her made a run toward to the newly constructed castle, just as Vegeta’s army attacked.

Goten quickly got in front of the girls, kicking and punching his way through a few that came to them. Bulma blasted several, it didn’t kill them but it was enough to knock them down for a moment.

The castle was empty of all life form, which was suspicious but they continued down a known path. It was just as their castle on Vegeta-sei. Bulma narrowed her eyes. She didn’t like that. But she knew the exact turn she needed to get to the throne room. And the doors were already open.

Their run came to a sudden stall.

There on the throne sat Turles, who smiled brightly. “Have you missed me, my gorgeous Queen?”
