Chapter 1

A young teenage girl was seen running through the compound on one of Frieza's base. "Come on. Come on. Where are you?" she said to herself as she ran past some guards. Her long black mane flowed behind her similar to the way her tail was. Her dark eyes darted left and right searching for her target. She carried a long silver staff that was a little bit taller than she was, in her hands and she ran. At the top of the staff was a dark blue medium sized orb held in place by three silver prongs. Her armor was made of the typical white Saiyan breastplate type armor that had a black undershirt and battle skirt that went down to her knees. Her white boots were silent as she ran; only hearing soft taps as her feet hit the polished floor. Her eyes were as dark as her hair and matching the shine of the orb on her staff. Her soft face was deceiving to all her enemies and even some allies. A tiny horizontal scar on her upper left cheek, just below her eye was all that marked her face.

She clicked her scouter again to see if her target was anywhere near her. It showed that she was right on track. She would be there in a matter of twenty or so seconds. Being a full blooded Saiyan and all that was still too long for her so she flew off. She was told before not to fly indoors but she didn't care at the moment. She had been worried for the past month and now she had finally closed in, she needed to be hasty about it.

She landed abruptly when she reached the medic ward. The doors slid open as she approached. She slowly walked in and looked at the men in the room. "Ah Adina, I was just about to call you." Said the doctor on her right. Her dark eyes traveled to the man in the long white robe. His lizard alien like skin shined in the light. "What happened to him?" she snapped.

"We don't know, young one. He landed here two days ago. He was on life support when we opened his pod."

"Who could have done this to him?" she asked. She looked around the room and studied if for a minute. "Wait, where is Nappa and Raditz?"

"I don't know Adina. They never returned." He replied. The girl known as Adina nodded in understanding before she walked up to the tank. Inside was a man. A man she had known to be her responsibility. Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, sat calmly in the tank filled with cool green water. She put her small hand on the cold glass as she stared at the Prince. She saw the cuts and bruises Vegeta had sustained were now disappearing. She let out a soft yet aggressive sigh as she closed her eyes and turned away. "He will be alright?"

"Yes he will, though he lost his tail." The alien doctor replied. Adina's eyes popped open. She turned her head to the doctor who nodded. She growled out loud and stood up straight again. "Tell me when he awakens. I want to talk to him."

"Of course Adina." The doctor said softly. Adina glanced back at Vegeta's still form in the tank before walking out and into her temporary quarters a couple of doors down. She sat down on the bed in the corner of her quarters. Taking off her armor and setting it aside, she crawled onto the middle of the bed and relaxed. Before she knew it she was asleep.

Back in the medical ward, Vegeta had awoken from his rejuvenation tank. The cool liquid had drained out before the door of the tank opened. He walked out looking around the room. "Welcome back Vegeta. You took quite a beating there." the doctor said as he handed Vegeta a white towel. The Prince wrapped it around his waist before stretching his upper body out. "We weren't able to reconstruct your tail."

"It's alright. I don't need it." He replied softly. He took a deep breath before letting it out slowly. The doctor came over to the tank and closed it shut. "Oh, Adina was in here about thirty minutes ago. She was looking for you. She told me to inform her when you awoke."

"She's here?" he asked.

"Indeed she is. She has been searching for you and your team for a month now." The doctor replied. "She asked where Nappa and Raditz were." The lizard doctor walked to his desk and clicked his computer system a couple times before continuing. "You've taught her well, Vegeta. She's learned to track quickly."

Vegeta didn't say anything just grunted as he walked out the door. The doctor called out to him. "She's in quarters 703." Vegeta did nothing to show that he acknowledged. He simply walked to the room. The door automatically silently slid open. When he entered he looked around the room. There he saw the small Saiyan girl sleeping form on the bed. He went over to the closet and got out a Saiyan combat suit. After he fully dressed and slipped on the chest armor, he grabbed a pair of boots and gloves and walked to the bed. He sat at the end and looked over at the girl. Her face was calm and still as she slept. She was no older than fourteen and still had child like qualities to her that showed more when she slept. Vegeta watched her closely. She had been injured for her breathing was irregular, almost as if she was struggling to breathe. Vegeta's gaze went to her tail, which calmly lay on her hip, twitching once in a while as she dreamt. A black tail. Only a mark of an elite classed Saiyan.

Vegeta nudged her foot a couple of times. "Hmm… I just fell asleep. What do you want?" she growled angrily as she was half asleep. Vegeta's smirk was missed by Adina as her eyes were closed. "Wake up." He responded. Hearing Vegeta's voice was all she needed. "Prince! You're awake!" she exclaimed as she bolted straight up. She quickly got off the bed and stood in front of him checking for any scars or unhealed injuries on his face or neck. Vegeta's eyes watched her as she turned his chin left and right. When she saw marks, her frame relaxed as she let go of him. But as soon as she did, she tensed up again. "What the hell happened to you?"

"It's none of your concern" he replied calmly. He put on his last boot before grabbing his gloves. Looking up at the girl he studied her. "Where did Frieza send you?"

"This boring planet. I swear he sends me on these really lame missions." she responded. She crossed her arms and shifted her weight to one leg. "I conquered the planet in a day and when I came and reported back, he wasn't there, figures"

"Where is Frieza then?"

"No clue. Zarbon and Dodoria went with him though. Maybe someone here knows."

"Why didn't you follow him" Vegeta asked angrily as he fixed both his gloves. Adina raised her arm to her staff that was leaning on a wall to her right. It floated to her quickly before she caught it. She looked into the orb and cleaned it a little. "I felt your energy close by, Prince" she sighed. "Speaking of following, where is Nappa and Raditz?" she said as she looked up at Vegeta.

"Both dead." he responded. Adina looked shocked as he stood up and walked towards the door. "W-what? How did that happen?" she asked as she ran after him. They came out into the corridor and walked down the opposite direction of the medical ward. "Raditz was killed by his brother." Vegeta answered. "Nappa on the other hand, was killed by me."

Again Adina was shocked. "You killed Nappa? Why?"

"He was weak… and besides he was embarrassing me." Vegeta smirked. Adina a little uneasy about the news of her two fellow Saiyans being killed off. There weren't that many of them to begin with. "I see" Adina replied. "I… well… I mean… you wouldn't… you wouldn't do that to me would you, Prince?"

Vegeta didn't even spare her a glance. She figured that meant she was expendable. She sighed quietly to herself. She already knew it. She was expendable to Frieza, so why wouldn't' she be expendable to Prince Vegeta? He answered her a minute later. "Well you are the only female Saiyan…" Adina looked up surprised. He was toying with her now. "And I need someone to polish my armor and shine my boots." he smirked.

Adina stopped and crossed her arms. Vegeta continued walking a few more steps before he noticed Adina had stopped. He turned around to look at her. His smirk grew wider when he saw she was upset. "Prince, I am not your servant, nor am I your slave. I am your Guardian, your guidance. I don't have to listen or obey you Prince." she stated angrily. Vegeta's smirk disappeared. He growled and approached her. "You're nothing but a mere child, girl. You should listen to me or at least fear me. Otherwise you'd end up like Nappa."

Adina wasn't going to deny that she was afraid of him. Anyone in their right mind would be, but she stood her ground. "I don't care anymore Prince. I'm with you no matter what. If you choose to kill me, fine, so be it. Just know that you won't have anyone to watch your back."

Vegeta laughed. "You think I need you?"

"Oh no, Prince." she growled. "I know you need me. My grandmother died for your father and mother-"

"And even that was a waste." he responded irritably.

Adina's angered disappeared and was replaced by sadness. "Frieza killed them all including my father, Vegeta. I never met any of them. My poor mother murdered when I was six by his brother. The only reason I was kept alive was because Frieza already claimed my hide. It was chance that I met you, Nappa, and Raditz." she said softly. Vegeta sensed the shift in her demeanor. His scowl deepened.

"Aww… what a sad story. I think I'm going to need a tissue" came a sarcastic remark from behind Vegeta. Both Saiyans looked over. Vegeta growled and glared at the alien. "Stay out of this Cui."

"I agree." Adina said. Cui just laughed at the both of them. "Adina, my child. I am touched by your story. I'm sure Frieza would love to hear it from your point of view." he laughed. Both Vegeta and Adina growled. "Shut up Cui. Leave before I make you into a purple pudding." Adina said.

"Oh not like you could little monkey." Cui said as he came closer to them. Vegeta stopped him by standing in his way. "Leave her alone before I turn you into pudding myself." he said calmly. "Come Adina. We're leaving." Vegeta said as he walked away. Adina came running after him, not taking her eyes off Cui.

They walked in silence as they passed the same guards Adina had when she first arrived. "Where are you going?" Adina asked a couple of minutes later.

"We're going to Namek" Vegeta responded.

"We? I thought-" she slowly started but was interrupted by Vegeta. "You thought wrong." he replied softly. That was the end of that then. Adina knew the Prince well. She had known him since she was seven years old. Frieza had claimed her after his brother had murdered her mother. When she first met Vegeta she was Frieza's pet much like how the Prince was when he was her age, but with Vegeta's help she became what she was destined to be, a Saiyan Guardian. When he found out she was a Saiyan Guardian, he trained her and taught her everything he knew. He could use a guardian, not for the protection, but for Adina's power. He had told her to keep it a secret from Frieza and anyone he didn't trust. If Frieza got wind of what she was, he would kill her immediately.

"Why Namek? Wait, scratch that. What is Namek?" Adina said as she ran after Vegeta. He was on his way to his space pod. He didn't answer her until they reached the pod. "Namek is a planet about half a day's travel from here."

"Good to know, but why Namek?"

"Dragonballs" Vegeta said as he sat down. Adina crossed her arms as she thought about what he was talking about. Her head and eyes snapped at Vegeta. "You wanna wish for immortality, don't you?"

Vegeta smirked and looked up at the girl. She really did know him. "Get in."

Adina looked at the pod. There wasn't that much room, but being a small frame as Adina was there was enough room for her and Vegeta. She growled before she looked at her staff. She picked the orb off the top and threw the silver rod in the air. It vanished into dust. She held the orb close and got in, sitting on Vegeta's right. The pod door closed and Vegeta started the pod and they were off.

The first part of the trip was mostly silent. Vegeta's eyes were closed as Adina was busy with shining her orb. "You rub it anymore, it's going to crack." Vegeta responded. Adina chuckled. She looked over at Vegeta whose eyes were still closed. "Hey, you're not wearing your scouter?"

"I don't need it."

"How are we gunna find the Dragonballs then?"

"With that orb, but if you keep that up, we won't be able to use it." Vegeta said. He opened his eyes to see Adina looking down in the orb. "So have you learned to use it yet?"

"I've been concentrating on it and once I actually saw something in it, though it was blurry

"What did you see?"

"My mother." she said sadly. Her lips pulled up gently as she smiled. "It was her eyes."

"You need to stop thinking about her." Vegeta growled quietly. Adina shook her head. Vegeta's patience was thin naturally but Adina wasn't helping. "I won't, Prince. The Guardians of the past are open to me. Their knowledge is available to me through this. I need to learn how to tap into It." she said as she held it up in front of her.

"Well then it's about time you start tapping into it." Vegeta said. He set his head back and closed his eyes again. "We're gunna need it when we get there."

"I'll try Prince." she responded. Vegeta just grunted and fell silent. She figured he was just resting. In the mean time, Adina chose to follow his suggestion and concentrate on reading her orb. About an hour later she had been able to tap into it. She first tried to read small things, like where Namek was. When her orb showed her Namek, it also showed her something else. "Prince? Prince Vegeta wake up." she said softly. Vegeta groggily woke. He shook his head as he frowned when he saw it was only an hour he slept. "Why did you wake me girl?"

"I know where Frieza is."

"And why did you wake me up for this?" he growled. Adina looked up at Vegeta. He was glaring at her. She shook her head. "Frieza is on Namek." she said. The Prince's gaze softened a little. He looked outwards. Namek could be seen in the distance as a little green dot. He looked at the computer that estimated the time of arrival. "An hour? That is too long of a wait." Vegeta thought to himself. Adina was watching him closely. She didn't like the look on the Prince's face. "Can't you make this thing go any faster" he said annoyed.

"I can't do that, Prince. It's not within my powers to..." Adina said softly. Vegeta could tell she was ashamed of this. "… but I can see what he's up to." she said hopefully. Vegeta just grunted and looked closed his eyes again. "Well?"

"Uh oh yeah, hold on a minute. It takes some concentration you know?" she replied. Her hands hovered over the medium sized orb as she closed her eyes. Her eyebrows were furrowing more by the passing second. "… There! Look Vegeta!" she said happily. Vegeta opened one eye and looked over at her hands. The orb beneath them showed a picture of Frieza, Zarbon, and Dodoria, but there was something else about the picture. "Oh no…"

"Now what?" Vegeta said. He opened the other eye to stare at her. She glanced up at him. She silently wished that the pod was a little bigger because she knew Vegeta would be angry with the news she was going give him. "Uh, I think he's there for the Dragonballs."

"You think?" Vegeta yelled. Adina visibly shook at his voice. "Well?"

"He's already collected four of them, Prince." she said quietly. Vegeta let out a frustrated growl. He looked away from her and stared at Namek. They were approaching Namek in about ten minutes. Adina could feel his energy and anger rising. Before she knew what happened, Vegeta hit her. The hit was hard enough to cause her mouth to bleed, but soft enough so that he would send her out to space. "Find at least one of the Dragonballs before we get there. I want to find them as quickly as I can."

"Yes, Prince." she replied quietly. She didn't bother wiping the blood from her mouth as she concentrated on her orb again. Vegeta just stared outwards at Namek as he crossed his arms over his chest. He began tapping his fingers in annoyance. His patience was thing and Adina hoped to get there before she ended up like Nappa.
