Chapter I: New Recruit

There was an odd mood in the Frieza's ship. The men were unusually jittery and excited for a reason Zarbon didn't know. He walked down the hallways of the ship, glancing out of the windows into the black abyss of space. He looked up and saw a group of men hanging around in the middle of the hallway, in front of one of the taller windows of the ship.

"So are you sure that that new recruit is here?" Jeice asked, playing with his fingers excitedly.

Dodoria nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah, yeah, I just got word from Frieza."

Zarbon tucked a piece of his emerald hair behind his ear and joined the group, "What in the world are you all talking about?" he asked.

Captain Ginyu starred at Zarbon, "You haven't heard?" he yelled, causing some passers-by to turn.

Guildo tugged on Zarbon's cape, "There's a new recruit on the ship, it's got everybody excited." he grinned.

Zarbon raised an eyebrow, "So? New recruits come in everyday... what's so special about this one?"

Jeice laughed, placing a hand on Zarbon's shoulder, "Wow bloke, you must' a not seen her yet..."

Zarbon blinked, "What...? Her? It's a woman!" he yelled silently. Everyone nodded. Zarbon scratched his head, and tucked the emerald strand of hair behind his ear again. "I've been working for Lord Frieza for years, and he's never recruited a female."

Everyone nodded again, "Wait till you see her, she's like a goddess, or, or an angel, or a super model or something!" Dodoria yelled silently. The men were all extremely excited about the coming of a female recruit onto the ship. Many of them had not seen a woman for years. Zarbon, who always went on missions to very populated planets, always saw his fair share of women, but a woman working on his master's ship with him was something he hadn't expected.

Ginyu grinned, and looked over his shoulder to make sure Frieza or another high ranking officer was walking by, but froze instead. Everyone looked up at him, "What is it Captain?" Guildo asked. When Ginyu didn't answer, everyone looked to see what he was looking at. Soon, everyone else froze.

A young, tall, slender woman was about 15 feet away from them, talking with an officer with a clipboard. Zarbon peered over Ginyu's shoulder pads to get a better look at her. She was tall, slim and most likely the most beautiful woman he (or any of the men) had ever seen. She had large brown, cat-like eyes, and a scar going across her left eye. She wore her long black hair up in a high pony-tail. And even with it up, her hair reached the small of her back. She wore a simple armor, with blue body tight, white boots and gloves, and shoulder less upper armor, and no bottom armor. She was conversing with the officer about her assignments "Yes, Lord Frieza will be expecting this by the end of the day, and Charmada was conquered, be sure to add that to the report."

The officer nodded, saluted, and they walked separate ways, the woman walking the in the direction of the group of men. All of the men stood up straight against the wall as she passed. Even though the woman was tall, all of the other men were still taller than her. She looked up at them all, smiling pleasantly as she passed. Zarbon was last in line as she passed. When she passed him, she almost stopped for a second, looking at right into his eyes. He smiled at her, and she smiled back. As soon as she was out of ear-shot, the men relaxed, smirking and rubbing under their noses.

"Did you see her checking me out? She's crazy about me!" Jeice smirked. As the men argued, Zarbon looked back, thinking that the woman had already turned the corner. But she hadn't, in fact, she was lingering in the corner, she peered over the wall, and she and Zarbon caught eyes. The others hadn't noticed, and Zarbon smiled and waved. She giggled and waved her fingers at him and ducked back behind the wall.

Ginyu hit Zarbon's shoulder, "Hey, what are you starring at? We gotta get to the meeting."

Zarbon shook his head, "What meeting?" he asked.

Dodoria massaged his head, "The meeting when Frieza is going to pick Kariosa's personal trainer!"

Zarbon froze and turned to Dodoria, "What? Kariosa, you said her name was?" he shouted silently, "You mean, the Kariosa?"

Jeice scratched his head, "Yes, the Kariosa, princess of Planet Vegeta, second in line to the throne of Vegeta." Jeice stared at Zarbon, he looked bewildered. "You mean you didn't recognize her? When's the last time you saw the news? She's been all over it!" he said.

Zarbon scowled at him, "Do you honestly think I have time to watch the news?" he asked.

Ginyu stepped in now, "You can't tell me that you stood 2 feet away from her and didn't catch a glimpse of that ass?" he said.

Zarbon scowled at him now, "No, I didn't because I'm not a pig like you. I didn't see her tail wrapped around her waist."

Ginyu opened his mouth as if to retort, but nothing came out. Zarbon smirked, "We should get to that meeting."
