Saiya-jin Siblings: The Demon Within - Prologue
Author's Note: I don't own DB/Z.
As the news traveled over the planet of Freiza's treachery, two lone figures stood holding their children within their makeshift home. To the outside world, it just appeared as if they were spending their last moments together with their family. Little did anyone know what the two saiyajins' were about to do.
The female saiya-jin looked down to the bundle in her arms. She still could not believe that the planet would be destroyed at any moment. "Zaknafein, are you positive that we have to do this?" Triska asked as she clutched her baby protectively to her chest.
"Daddy what does mommy speak of?" the little blue haired girl asked as she tugged on her fathers leg. Zaknafein looked down to his daughter, still amazed at how much she had grown. It seemed like only yesterday she was born. 'She is only a child, how can I do this?' he thought solemnly to himself.
"Daddy?" the child pressed as she gripped her fathers armor tighter in fear.
Zaknafein sighed as she broke through his thoughts. "It is nothing, do not concern yourself, Buruka." He knew that even if the threat of the planet's destruction were non-existent, he would have to do the same thing. King Vejita had announced purging of those with abnormalities; due to when they mated, they passed down the abnormality causing the child to be deformed as well. Looking at his own daughter, he knew it was not the case. His daughter was an albino except instead of being pure white she was born blue. Her hair, tail, and eyes were a bright aqua hue. Neither him nor Triska had abnormal coloring, and to this day, he could only explain it that she was a deformed albino. The one thing that set her apart more than anything was the fact that she did not have the strength as a normal saiya-jin would. In place of all the weakness, she had a power that no one could understand.
Sighing, he rubbed his daughters back in a comforting manner, more to himself than to her though. He did not remember much about his childhood, so he could not offer up any reasons why she was so different from her sister. However, he knew someone did, even with him hiding his two girls, King Vejita had found out about them somehow.
When the King had heard of her abnormal power, he had wanted to use it to his advantage but quickly thought of other matters once news of Freiza's betrayal had hit the planet. His mates soothing voice broke his thoughts abruptly, making him shake his head back to the situation at hand.
"Listen Buruka, mama is going to give you and your baby sister a shot, it is an immunization in a way. So I need you to be real still, ok." Triska asked as tears threatened to break the surface. She did not want to send her children to an unknown world.
Buruka nodded as she held out her arm. "No matter how life goes for you, remember that we love you," she heard her mother say before her world went black.
Zaknafein quickly grabbed his daughter before she fell to the floor. "Triska, do the same for Chisaiu. We have no time left. Since Freiza took our prince there is nothing holding him back from blowing the planet up. Now say your good-byes and quick!"
Triska could not hold the tears back any longer. She looked down to her cooing baby and kissed her forehead lightly. "I love you as well Chisaiu, you behave and listen to your sister," she spoke softly to the child as she placed the needle into the infants arm. "Forgive us for what we have to do," Triska silently sobbed as the babies wailing immediately fell silent.
"They will not remember a thing, I promise. Remind me to thank the man who came up with this elixir," Zaknafein calmly said while he laid his eldest daughter into the space pod. As he pulled her blue blanket up to her chin and closed the pod, he forced himself not to succumb to tears. After all, he was a saiyajin, even though he was not a bloodthirsty as his ancestors.
"What planet can we send them to that they might be safe?" Triska asked as she unwrapped Chisaiu's tail from her wrist, laying her down in the pod gently even thought the child would never feel her mothers hands leaving her.
"Rumor has it that Kakarotto, Bardock's son, failed on his purging mission. Perhaps he has died. Send them there, they would not try a purging mission twice," he suggested as he watched Triska seal up both containers.
As Triska typed in the commands, she hoped that the pods would stay together so that the two girls had a better chance of being raised together. As the mechanical space ships shot off, Zaknafein wrapped his arms around his mate and pulled her closely to his chest.
"They will survive, they are of the saiya-jin race."
Triska sighed and she looked down, trying not to feel guilty for sending them away. "We can only hope, Zak. We can only hope."
He noticed as the small pods left his eyesight, Freiza's space ship broke through the atmosphere, and he knew they were close to their last moments. Screams of terror rang out throughout the planet, as he closed his eyes, trying to block out the inevitable.
Triska, kept her eyes open and watched as the one called Bardock, tried to stop the tyrant. Shaking her head at the futility of it all, she buried her face into Zaknafein's armor.
Sensing that the female was upset, he tilted her face up into a long kiss, oblivious to the fiery orb that was hurtling toward their planet.

Still carrying unconscious girls, the two space pods raced for earth side by side, until they came through a minor meteor shower. Both space pods were designed to dodge such minor events, but their programming failed as one chunk of rock hit Chisaiu, knocking her programmed location off by a few degrees. As the space pods hit the earth's atmosphere, Chisaiu's went spiraling in a different direction than her sister.

The Ox king sat in his castle alone mourning the death of his wife, clutching a faded picture of her as tears rolled down his face. "She was so kind-hearted and loving, how could death take her?" he mulled, putting the picture back into its frame. Hanging it back on the wall, he heard a resounding crash against the castle.
"What in the hell? No one can get up Ox Mountain…" he grumbled as he stormed outside to see what the commotion was. He tilted his head to the side a bit, as he caught glimpse of an oddly shaped metal ball. Walking up to the side of it, he tapped it gently wondering what it contained and where it had come from. In response, the pod opened revealing a wailing baby inside.
"Oh Kami, you poor thing!" the King soothed as he picked the infant into his massive arms. "How did you get into there?" He paused as he felt something wrap halfway around his wrist and looked closely.
"A tail? That is odd. No matter, I shall take you as my own child, for me to deny you would be wrong." Looking up into the sky, he smiled. "You are watching over me dear, aren't you? Thank you for this precious gift, what love I held for you I will give to her in your memory."
Looking back down into the bundle that he held in his hands, he felt his heart lighten. "From now own you will be known as Chichi, the ox princess!" he proclaimed as he held the child up into the air, earning a giggle. His mourning was finally over, he thought to himself, for within the bundle that he held, was a new reason for living.

Dr. Briefs walked with his newlywed wife through their garden. "Such a beautiful day isn't it dear?" Dr. Briefs commented as he bent down to pick a flower up for his wife. As he was ready to pluck the iris from the warm ground, a space pod came sliding to a stop in front of his nose.
"YIKES!" he exclaimed falling back onto the ground. "What the heck is that?"
Mrs. Briefs walked over and peered down looking at the object with interest. "Looks like a new microwave to me sweetie."
Dr. Briefs shook his head and pulled himself upright. "Not hardly, I doubt one would just fall from the sky. Placing his hands atop the space pod, he searched for an opening that might give him some answers to what it was. Upon his touch, the top opened as requested. Mrs. Briefs gasped as she caught view of the little girl still soundly asleep.
"What parent would lock their child up in a microwave? How sad, the poor little thing all alone. Sweetie what should we do?" her voice chirped. Dr. Briefs rolled his eyes.
"Raise her as our own is what I suggest, at least until we find out who her parents are," he replied, lifting the little girl out of the metal contraption. As the blanket fell back, he caught view of a blue rope hanging from her. Under closer observation, he noted that it was actually attached to her as if it was a cat's tail. "Hmm, I doubt her parents will be back. I have yet to observe a race with a tail."
Mrs. Briefs looked at him in confusion. "Well sweetie, if we are raising her, we ought to name her."
"I think I will call her Bulma, we have to stay with tradition you know," he smiled, pushing the child's aqua hair out of her face.
