Chapter 1: Haunting Past
6,000 years ago, The Nile River, Thebes:
The bright sun hit the sandy desert with a vengeance, seemingly taunting the survivors of the recent battle. The hot sun glittered off the warriors armor. They didn't mind the heat now, they were all dead.
Pushing a corpse off his leg Vegeta sat up, ripping of his damaged gold armor he swore, "Shit!"
A corpse that was missing it's head was pushed off another living body and Kakkarot emerged from underneath it," What?"
Vegeta stood up grabbing his sword of the ground, wiping the blood from the blade with what was left of his tunic "Everyone better not be dead!"
"Or what you'll kill them again?" Krillin asked, walking from the banks of the Nile where he had been attempting to wipe the dried blood from his arm.
"By the gods I would!", He looked around the battlefield, surveying the bodies, the destruction the battle had caused. "Where is Juu?"
"Eighteen?" Goku asked, frowning, calling her by the nickname given the well known princess turned assassin, "She's guarding Buruma as you wished."
Vegeta's head snapped up from where he was tying his sword back to his side, "I told them they were to be in hiding? Ready to go to Sheba, with my mother and Chia, if necessary, where are they?"
"Before we left for battle Eighteen said something about Buruma being stubborn and that she refused to leave the palace, and-"
Vegeta was already running away towards his horse, thanking the gods it hadn't been killed in the massive battle. IT was drinking from the Nile, ignoring the carnage surrounding it. At a running jump Vegeta mounted the beast and started for the palace. Goku and Krillin followed, on foot, leaving the corpses to rot in the sun, long forgotten.
The palace gleamed in the sunlight, casting rare and cool shade in the corners of the building. Vegeta jumped off his horse, Krillin and Goku following his lead, and rushed to the main throne room. The sounds of swords slashing greeted their ears. Eighteen was battling one of Freeza's lackeys. Freeza was the ruler of a Demonic Empire to the west of Egypt, the land most Egyptians refer to as the land of the dead; he was trying to take over Vegeta's land; and doing a hell of a job at it. Dodoria had the upper hand at the moment, when Eighteen tripped him, sending him sliding into the floor. She slashed his throat with clean efficiency; not a drop of blood landed on her tanned skin. Her rare blonde hair, she was half Assyrian by blood, flashed in the sun as she turned, "Where's Buruma?"
Vegeta glared," You were supposed to be watching her!"
"I told her to hide in the weaponry, if she's not there, I'll kill her."
"Not if he kills you first." Goku said as they ran towards the far room down the palace halls. The door to the weaponry was open, loud crashes could be heard from inside.
Zarbon was standing in front of Buruma stock still. The daggers the aqua haired 19 year old held at his neck crossed in front of his jugular, the slightest move would kill him.
"Do not move Zarbon, I really don't want to have to kill you," She taunted him, smiling as she saw the beads of sweat begin to form on Zarbon brow. At the clank of armor behind her she glanced at the door and recognized her would be rescuers, "Nice of you to all come, but obviously I have this under control."
Vegeta smirked, this was one of the reasons he had chosen her as his consort. She was not only powerful physically but mentally as well, beautiful as a desert oasis, she was perfectly suited to him. And once this damned war was over he'd make her his queen, instead of his consort for the rest of her life, "Watch it Zarbon, she's not lying."
Goku, Krillin, and Eighteen stood on guard behind him, waiting for the slightest sign so that they could defend against an attack. Vegeta stood behind Zarbon and, giving a look to Buruma signaling to remove her daggers, grabbed him by the back of the neck and pushed him down to kneel on the floor, he removed his sword from its scabbard and placed it in front of the enemy's neck.
A shadow stepped out from the corner of the room and appeared behind Buruma, flipping the daggers out of her hands and placing one in front of her neck, a lizard like voice hissed, "Let him go Vegeta, or I'll kill your little one here."
"Freeza.", Vegeta stared down the tyrant who had taken his consort hostage, "Let her go."
Goku made a move to help, but Freeza saw him, "Get back monkey boy, don't try anything, or the little one will have a very unfortunate accident."
Vegeta growled pressing the sword closer against Zarbon throat, a trickle of blood flowed from the deepening wound, "Bastard, let her go!"
The trickle became a flood as Vegeta unknowingly slit Zarbon throat. Blood spat from the neck wound spraying over Buruma who stood directly in front of the scene. Freeza 'tut tuted', "Now, Vegeta, look what you did. Now I'll have to kill her."
Buruma's ocean colored eyes widened in sudden fear.
"I won't let you kill her."
"Vegeta," Buruma spoke calmly, "let him, then when he is done you can take advantage of him. I am not important."
"I will not let you die!"
"Have Krillin bring me back."
Freeza watched amused. The smell of blood was flooding his senses; the ways of his people were coming out. He'd kill the girl then give the rest a curse that would haunt them forever; a life of immortality would surely drive them insane. "That's a great idea. Have the bald one bring her back!" He grinned evilly, his voice a whisper, "Say goodbye, Vegeta."
He smiled maliciously as he slowly cut her throat. Blood ran down her milky skin as her body, drained of it's life's blood, hit the floor.
Vegeta woke from the nightmare panting. The silk sheets of his bed wrapped around him, sticking to his body like fly paper. Shit! That was the 6th time in two weeks. After a millennia of dreamless sleep as one of the undead, she was haunting him again. The look of her panicked blue eyes flashed in his head again. Even in the daylight he couldn't get a moment's peace. He reached for his bedside clock. The glowing red numbers read six o'clock. Untangling himself from his sheets he climbed out of bed. He was going out.
