Vetrina cocked her head to look at Kakkarrot.
"We shall spar after my last match, understood?" Vetrina said.
"Hai, your Highness." Kakkarrot said, he bowed his head.
Vetrina cringed,
"I thought I mentioned to you… not to call me 'Highness' or 'Princess'" she said through gritted teeth. "Call me 'Vetrina'"
Bardock snapped his head at his son… surely he wouldn't dare address the Princess so formally? Kakkarrot sensed his tousans eyes upon him, and swallowed.
"Hai, Vetrina." He mumbled.
Bardock's face had a mixture of many emotions; one, anger towards his son for addressing the Princess so formally; two, embarrassment by the fact as well; three, proud by his sons bravery; and four, fear from what the Princess might do. Bardock didn't open his mouth though, he walked on and glared at all who passed.
"Good, meet me in the gravity room on the twenty-first floor." Vetrina said.
They then came to the entrance to the eating hall --- more like the mess hall --- Vetrina thought, as she looked at all the saiyajins. She walked along all the tables, after telling her guards to wait at the entrance, and found three empty seats near the back. She sat in the middle one and signaled Krimria and Kakkarrot to sit on either side of her. Kakkarrot nodded and sat at her right and Krimria at her left. All in the room who had noticed her arrival, had stood and bowed. And all those who hadn't seen carried on with their talk. Vetrina told the waiter what she wanted, and asked Krimria and Kakkarrot if they were hungry.
"Iie, I am fine." Krimria said.
"And you?" Vetrina asked.
"I'd like to have the same as you." He said, now that his tousan was not there, he was more comfortable around Vetrina.
Vetrina smirked at this and sent the waiter away. She then turned to Kakkarrot,
"How is it that you are as strong as I?" She asked.
"I know not the reason, Vetrina. My tousan says I am just a lucky saiyajin. But, I believe him not. There must be a reason for it. A reason not known to me or anyone else." Kakkarrot asked, he spoke to Vetrina as if she were his sister.
"Well, that will be our task at hand. We shall see what causes you to be like me." Vetrina said.
"Hai, Vetrina, what shall we do after our spar?" Kakkarrot asked.
"I know not, but something will come to me. Maybe we can find your files." Vetrina offered.
"Hai, maybe." Kakkarrot said.
Vetrina liked the thought of having Kakkarrot around at all times.
"Kakkarrot, I want you to be my advisor." Vetrina said suddenly.
Krimria inwardly gasped, Kakkarrot stared at Vetrina unbelievingly.
"Vetrina, we are only four… you aren't required a advisor till you're fifteen." He said.
"I care not, I shall go to my tousan and tell him." Vetrina said, "Tomorrow morning, and I want you to be at my chambers at five thirty."
"Hai, Vetrina," Kakkarrot said, he was still staring at her when their food arrived.
As Vetrina and Kakkarrot began to eat, a few Saiyajin women came over.
"Ah… if it isn't the Princess." One said, these saiyajins were obviously the kasan's of Vetrina's opponents.
Automatically, Krimria stood, and to Vetrina's surprise, so did Kakkarrot.
"You got lucky in the first matches Highness but my daughter is going to rip you to shreds." Another said.
Vetrina smirked and stood up in front of them.
"You come before me, your Princess, and talk to me as if I'm a lowly peasant." Vetrina said, "But soon you shall see who the lowly peasant is. For once this is over, you and your families are not to step foot in the palace again."
With that Vetrina sat back down.
"Krimria, get rid of them." She said.
"Hai, Vetrina." Krimria said.
She stood in front of the saiyajin kasan's and one by one she threw them across the room.
"Now get lost." She sneered.
Kakkarrot glared after them, then found his seat.
"How dare they talk to you like that!" He said menacingly.
"Calm thyself, Kakkarrot." Vetrina said.
"Now, Vetrina, those saiyajins shall tell His Excellency how formally I addressed you." Krimria said, she sat back down.
"Worry not about that. I shall handle it." Vetrina said.
Kakkarrot was staring into his food still perturbed by the women's actions. He gritted his teeth and his fists clenched.
"Don't bother thyself with it, Kakkarrot!" Vetrina barked.
Kakkarrot merely nodded and picked up his fork. But even then his knuckles turned white from his hard grip.
Vetrina picked her own fork up and began to eat quickly. She was very hungry and needed her strength for her last opponent. She devoured as much as she could in her half-hour time then pushed the dishes aside.
"I greatly dislike this tournament." Vetrina said, she stood with Krimria.
Kakkarrot took one last bite, which was too much for the food spilled out the side of his mouth, then stood as well. The three then made their way back out into the hall. Vetrina's guards positioned themselves around her, as Krimria led them back to the arena.
"At least this shall be over with soon." Kakkarrot said.
"Hai, that is true." Vetrina said with a nod.
Soon they were back to the arena entrance and Vetrina made her guards stay there.
"I shan't need you inside here!" She growled at them.
"Hai, Your Highness." The guards got on one knee.
Vetrina scowled and turned around,
"Let us go, before I blast all my guards away." Vetrina said.
Kakkarrot followed Vetrina and Krimria back to their seats. Vetrina had five more minuets before starting her next match. Vetrina sat in her seat and crossed her arms. She looked around the arena and watched as many Saiyajins made their way back to their seats. The arena was a very huge room, the ceiling was one hundred feet high and the room was like a dome. With seats all around, there was one section high up coming out of the wall like a balcony, which was for The King and Queen. Vetrina looked up there and saw that her tousan and kasan were still in their seats, and her nii-chan was leaning on the railing. She glared at him then shifted her eyes back down. She looked around the arena and scanned the seats. She noticed few saiyajins, and mainly the adults. She didn't know any younger saiyajins aside Kakkarrot. At this Vetrina frowned. She made a note not to dwell on that thought. She looked at the higher seats and scanned through them as well. Radditz was in his seat staring at Kakkarrot nervously. Why is that family so nervous? Vetrina wondered, shaking her head. She looked to her side at Kakkarrot, who she noticed was scanning the crowds as well. She examined his features, and noticed for the first time that he looked nothing like all the other Saiyajins. He was not always scowling like herself, and seemed to smile a lot. He rarely crossed his arms, or argued for that matter. He was kind and gentle to others' feelings, and not once had he talked back to Vetrina. Even though she knew no one would dare, but he was not just another saiyajin. He was her advisor, as of now that is. He had always given her choices when something came up, and they seemed always to be for the good of the people. Normally Vetrina would have despised a saiyajin like that, but Kakkarrot was different, he didn't do it so openly and didn't draw attention to himself by doing it. He did it simply, and only when needed. Vetrina sighed and shifted her glance to Krimria, now fifteen, soon to be sixteen. Krimria was also an odd saiyajin, she was very strong for her age and seemed to hold a respect for others that not many saiyajins contained. This gained her a certain respect on Vetrina, for Vetrina seemed to understand why Krimria was the way she was.
As she was searching for Bardock, a buzzer went off signaling her half-hour was up. She scowled and made her way to the center of the arena. She breathed steadily and still looked around the arena till her opponent was before her. She then squatted, and without a word waited for the bell to go off. Now as she faced her last opponent, she set her face in a defined scowl. Neither bowed, and when the bell rang they glared at each other. Time slowly passed, as the two showed no signs of movement. Vetrina had made up her mind not to move until Jeonicora did.
Finally after ten minuets of staring Jeonicora lunged. Vetrina smirked to herself, but did not move. As Jeonicora came closer and closer she waited. When her opponent was within reach she punched her in the face. Jeonicora staggered back, she felt her cut lip and wiped the blood on her leg. She gritted her teeth and lunged for another attack. Vetrina willingly took the defensive and blocked all of Jeonicora's moves easily, but soon got bored. She punched Jeonicora in the face yet again, she kicked her in the stomach and took on the offence. She punched Jeonicora in the stomach and kicked her side. Jeonicora fell on her knees after a blow to the shin, from Vetrina. But Jeonicora was not finished, she shot a very powerful blast at Vetrina, and stood. Vetrina was not prepared for this attack and had no time to dodge. So she braced herself for contact, but then the blast stopped in front of her and split into tuns of smaller blasts. Vetrina gasped as they shot at her, but she did not yell out in pain, she only held her tongue and took it soundlessly. She felt her skin split as each small blast found it's way through her armor and to her flesh. Finally she powered up in anger and red flames that surrounded her engulfed all the blasts. She glared at Jeonicora, who was staring dumbfounded at her, and lunged at her. Vetrina shot a powerful blast at Jeonicora and watched as it made contact. The blast had so much force that it blew Jeonicora out of the ring. When Jeonicora did not get up many of the medics went to check her, they pronounced her still alive and Vetrina was proclaimed the winner. Vetrina tried to force her left eye to stay open, but to no avail, she just blinked the blood away then left it shut. She wiped the blood away from her lower lip and checked to see how bad the cut on her left arm was. She looked at the deep gash and growled, this was her nii-chan's fault. She flew up to the balcony where her tousan, kasan, and nii-chan sat. She landed in front of her nii-chan and punched him hard in the face.
"Don't you ever try and have me killed again!" She spat through clenched teeth.
Prince Vegeta had a hand over his left eye, and stared at Vetrina saying nothing. Vetrina looked at her tousan,
"I hope that I shall not have to do another pitiful tournament in the future?" She asked.
"Iie, you have proven yourself. And I now pronounce you as the rightful heir to the throne." King Vegeta said.
Vetrina smirked, and just as she had anticipated, her nii-chan ran forward.
"Your Excellency!" He gasped, kneeling before his tousan.
"Stand up you pathetic baka! And hold that ungrateful tongue of yours!" King Vegeta spat at his son.
Prince Vegeta stood and backed away, sending glares in Vetrina's direction.
"If that is all, Tousan, then I would like to get on with my scheduled spar." Vetrina said as kindly as she could.
She then lowered her head, ever so slightly and when receiving a nod in response, flew back to the ground. Vetrina made her way to Krimria and Kakkarrot, each of them gave her smirks as a congratulation. She smirked back at them, then began to feel dizzy.
"Krimria, take me to my chambers." Vetrina ordered.
Krimria and Kakkarrot stared at her nervously. She scowled and moved out of the arena. She made her way down the hall --- her guards following her, and Krimria and Kakkarrot running to catch up --- and to her room. She held herself up until she came to her chambers. Then as she, Krimria, and Kakkarrot were alone in the room, she collapsed. Kakkarrot caught her before she hit the ground and lay her on the bed.
"You have her rejuvenation tank, correct?" He asked.
"Hai," Krimria answered, she pulled the capsule case out from inside Vetrina's armor, "stand aside."
Kakkarrot stood next to the bed and Krimria threw the capsule on the floor. A cloud of smoke came from it and there was a rejuvenation tank before her. She went to the bed and picked the unconscious Vetrina up, then took her to the tank. She set her inside and placed the breathing tube on her small face. With that she closed the latch and started it up.
Vetrina came to soon afterwards, with only the slightest change in her brainwaves and pulses --- she had yet to master that. She felt the cool liquid around her, and remembered the many times she had felt it. This was when she had time to think over things. To wonder why they always took orders from Freeza, who was just a pitiful baka! Vetrina sighed inwardly and changed her train of thought to her nii-chan. Prince Vegeta, now there's a baka! He is always trying to find a way to get rid of me. And just as Neragar said… he has a way with my tousan. I shan't worry about him; he is of no matter to me. But my kasan said something about me being sent away. What had she meant? I shall present the matter to Krimria.
Just then the rejuvenation tank had finished, and began to drain. Vetrina --- as soon as the tank was empty --- ripped the oxygen tube off her face. She stood before Krimria and Kakkarrot dripping wet, and took the towel offered to her.
"I have something to tell you." Vetrina said.
"Honto?" Krimria and Kakkarrot asked.
"When I came here to get the capsule… I ran into my kasan and Neragar. But they saw me not, for I hid behind a coulomb. I over heard part of their conversation." Vetrina dried herself off as she spoke, "Neragar was upset because --- I suppose --- my tousan is going to send me away. Most likely to a planet that needs to be taken over. Neragar said that it was mainly for me to prove my strength, but that we could turn the tables."
"And how is that?" Krimria asked.
"By making my nii-chan come with me. Oh, and of course my kasan said you would come with me. She also said that my nii-chan was behind it all, and that he has a way with my tousan --- or was that Neragar? I remember not." Vetrina sighed. "I would have said something sooner, but didn't want to say it in front of anyone."
Krimria nodded understandingly, and Kakkarrot just stared.
"If you are sent, then you shall surely be killed!" He declared.
"Iie, Krimria shall be with me." Vetrina said, "Plus if my nii-chan has to come then it shan't be that bad."
"That is true." Kakkarrot said with a snicker.
"Now, I want to have a spar." Vetrina said.
Two months later
"I was wondering when this would come." Vetrina mumbled.
She was walking down the very familiar hall towards the Throne room. She was followed by her many guards and Krimria to her right and Kakkarrot to her left. When they came to the double doors, Vetrina opened them and stepped forward. She faced her tousan lowering her head slightly, as Krimria and Kakkarrot kneeled.
"You sent for me?" She asked.
"Hai, I am going to send you --- accompanied by Kakkarrot and Krimria --- to the a planet that I shall sell to Lord Freeza." King Vegeta said.
"Fine, may I make one request though?" Vetrina asked, she had been told exactly what to say by her kasan.
"Of course." King Vegeta said.
Vetrina glanced at her nii-chan.
"Do I have your promise to grant my request?" She asked.
"Hai." King Vegeta answered.
"My request is that Prince Vegeta comes along." She said.
She waited for this to sink in then continued,
"He also needs to prove his strength to you, correct?"
King Vegeta placed a hand on his face as he began to think, he shifted his position and glanced at the nervous Prince. He smirked,
"Hai, you are correct. And your request shall be granted. Prince Vegeta shall also accompany you." King Vegeta said. "You may leave, I shall send Nappa to you when I have decided the date on your leaving."
"Hai, Tousan." Vetrina lowered her head then turned on her heel and left.
"This shall prove to be interesting." Vetrina later said to Kakkarrot in her chambers.
"Hai, to think… us at the age of four going on a fleet." Kakkarrot said.
Vetrina chuckled,
"You sound like one of those pathetic poets." She said.
At this the two laughed out loud. Vetrina picked a piece of Chicken off of the tray and ate it. She uncurled her tail and lay it at her side on the bed. She lifted the tip up then lay it back down a few times then flopped back on the many pillows. She wiped the blood from the chicken off her face then sat up quickly.
"Let us go hunting!" She said.
"Nani!?" Kakkarrot exclaimed.
"Hunting! I haven't been for over a year! Let us go!" Vetrina said again.
Krimria looked at the two on the bed and chuckled.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." Krimria said.
"And what is the reason?" Vetrina asked.
"If your tousan can't find you… he'll be quite a lot to deal with." Krimria said.
"Hai, that is correct." Vetrina frowned, "Then I shall have to deal with my already hunted food."
With that she picked a piece of Deer up and ate it mindlessly. Kakkarrot also grabbed a piece of deer and ate it. He had a bottomless stomach, so it seemed to Vetrina. Vetrina suddenly felt, for the first time in her life, fear. Fear of what might happen to Kakkarrot on the planet they would be sent to. She was afraid he would be hurt, or worse, killed. Vetrina felt like she would choke on her meat, she swallowed her food with more difficulty than she had hoped. She glanced at Kakkarrot, he was still devouring more food. She smirked to herself, she would die before him…nothing would happen to him if she were near. Vetrina was now confused, she was four! What was the reason for this? She wondered. Why am I so protective of him? He can easily take care of himself. Vetrina shook all thought of fear and emotion out of her head and began to eat just as mindlessly as Kakkarrot.
Vetrina swung her fist in the air, looking for the body the voice came from. It was four in the mourning and she wanted not to be awoken. But Krimria had wakened her, she kept her eyes closed and swung yet again…this time making contact. She opened her eyes and saw that she had punched Krimria Square in the jaw. Now Krimria was glaring at her, Vetrina just chuckled.
"Go away! I'm tired and I wish to sleep!" Vetrina barked.
"Iie, you must get up! His Excellency has sent Nappa to talk with you." Krimria argued.
Vetrina sat up and looked at Krimria,
"Is Nappa here?" She asked.
"Hai, now put these on!" Krimria handed her some clothes.
Vetrina took them wordlessly and changed quickly. All the while she said nothing, thinking about the upcoming trip, and again the fear came flooding back. She pushed it aside and put her last boot on.
"Let him in." she said.
Krimria respectfully lowered her head, then moved to the door before Vetrina kicked her. She came back almost immediately followed by Nappa. Nappa lowered himself onto his right knee,
"Your Highness, His Excellency King Vegeta has sent me to give you information on your fleet." Nappa said.
"Speak!" Vetrina ordered.
"Hai, Your Highness." Before Nappa continued Vetrina kicked him in the shoulder.
"Stand up!" she growled.
Nappa stood then set his gaze on something behind Vetrina,
"His Excellency has decided to send Prince Vegeta, Princess Vetrina, and the two's Sensei's --- along with Kakkarrot your advisor, Highness --- to the Planet Xiang Yu. You will be there for two weeks, awaiting orders as to do what with the planet." Nappa said.
"Now, what shall we do? Make the people slaves? Or kill them?" Vetrina asked.
"Whatever is necessary to take the planet over." Nappa answered.
"Understood. When shall we leave?" Vetrina asked.
Nappa looked nervous as he prepared to answer,
"In two hours, Highness." He declared.
"Nani!?" Vetrina burst, "Send someone to wake Kakkarrot, and…" she clenched her fists together, "just get out of my sight!"
Nappa bowed again, than left the room. Vetrina turned to Krimria,
"Two hours?! How long will it take to get there?" She asked.
"I know not." Krimria answered.
"Then find out!" Vetrina growled.
Krimria let out a sigh, with a lowered head she moved to the doors. She spoke swiftly with a guard then came back. She faced Vetrina and told her what she had done.
"Fine." Vetrina sighed, "I wish to speak with my tousan."
"Hai, he is in the Throne room." Krimria said.
"Where else would he be?" Vetrina asked as she made her way to the doors.
She made her way to the throne room, followed by one less guard than usual. When she came to the doors she walked in.
"This is ridiculous!" She yelled. "Two hours?! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
King Vegeta looked at his daughter with great annoyance.
"I have my reasons! Now leave me!" He snapped.
"I have a question." Vetrina snapped back.
"Then speak it!" King Vegeta commanded.
"Why are you sending me?" Vetrina asked.
King Vegeta seemed stumped at this question.
"Matters that are of no concern to you." He answered slowly.
Vetrina knew she would get nothing more out of him. So she lowered her head and left. When outside in the hall she began to mutter to herself.
" 'Matters that are of no concern to you' ugh… I'll show him concern." She growled.
"Vetrina! Remember that this is your tousan you're talking about!" Krimria warned.
"Hai, and if any of you repeat those words you shall be executed." Vetrina said.
Krimria knew that Vetrina was angry and trying to think and that they were only disturbing her. So she made all of the guards slow a bit to give her room.
When they came to Vetrina's chambers, they found Kakkarrot inside. He had one duffel bag and a scouter fixed on his head. Vetrina's eyes immediately changed from angry to excited.
"Kakkarrot! Are you read?" Vetrina asked, "Does your tousan and nii-chan know that you are coming?"
"Hai… to both your questions." Kakkarrot answered.
"Ok, well… all we can do is wait." Vetrina sat on the bed.
Soon Vetrina, Kakkarrot, and Krimria were making their way back to the throne room. Which was were they would meet Prince Vegeta and Kebnosh. They came to the throne doors and Vetrina barged in… Krimria and Kakkarrot at her heels. When before the King, Krimria and Kakkarrot kneeled, but Vetrina just stood. She waited there for her nee-chan to enter in through the side door, which came sooner than she had anticipated. Prince Vegeta came in, after respectfully knocking, and kneeled before King Vegeta.
"Your Excellency." He said, his voice sounded shaken.
"Scared, are we?" Vetrina taunted.
Prince Vegeta glared at her. Vetrina pushed her scouter on and checked his power, 1000, not too bad. She herself was now at 1350. Kakkarrot was ahead of her, at 1400. Krimria also still trained and was now at, 3500. Which for a sixteen-year-old was extremely high. Vetrina smirked at her brother, and silently applauded his Sensei. She lowered her hand and moved on to her tousan… who was at 6750. She checked Kebnosh's power, 3000. She sighed and turned her scouter off.
"Can we leave already?" she complained.
"Hai, I am now going to introduce to you…the rest of the fleet." King Vegeta said.
Vetrina, for the first time since she entered the room, took notice of the eight saiyajins at her tousan's left-hand side. There were two female saiyajins and six male saiyajins.
"This is Cery." He pointed to one of the females, she had deep red hair and black eyes, with a brown tail.
Cery stepped forward and kneeled before Vetrina,
"Your Highness, it is a great honor." She said.
"Whatever." Vetrina mumbled.
Cery then stood behind her, as King Vegeta continued.
"This is Toma." He waved a hand at one of the males, with green hair and brown eyes and tail.
Toma did the same as Cery then went behind Vetrina, and her tousan continued,
"This is Poto." King Vegeta then went on to give the last five names, "Leice…Brusout…Nin…Turp…and Parip." Each of which did the same as all before.
Vetrina had checked all of their power, they were each at 2500. She rolled her eyes and blocked out her tousans Un-needed talking. Finally when he was finished, they made their way to the launch pad. They would be taking one big ship, and live in it while staying on the planet. Vetrina, Krimria, and Kakkarrot were the first to enter the ship. Then came Prince Vegeta and Kebnosh, after them came the eight saiyajins. Vetrina went off to find the chambers that were for her. She walked through the ship many times and examined all of its belongings. She entered her chambers last, followed by Krimria and Kakkarrot. When they had entered her chambers, Vetrina closed the door.
"This is unreal! I've never been anywhere without being flanked by thirty guards!" She said happily.
Kakkarrot grinned at this, and Krimria smirked.
"Well, Vetrina, I am the pilot for this fleet. So I must be going to the control panel. There is a transmitter on the desk over there." Krimria pointed to the transmitter than left.
Vetrina moved to the transmitter and ran her fingers over its surface. She examined the material used to make it, and presumed how far the transmitter would work. She was glad to know that it would work anywhere on the planet they were headed to. Vetrina sighed, and after telling Kakkarrot she wanted to go to the control panel, the two left her chambers. This…Vetrina thought is going to be a long trip.
After many spars with Kakkarrot, and six meals, the ship finally landed. Vetrina went cautiously to one of the windows and peered out. They had landed in an abandoned desert, with nothing around in her eyesight. She followed Krimria to the latch and waited Un-patiently for it to open. When it did she stepped out onto the dry cracked desert land. Kakkarrot and the others, her nii-chan last out, followed her. Vetrina looked up at Krimria, who was at her left.
"What do we have to do?" Vetrina asked.
"Conquer the planet, you know that." Krimria said.
"Hai, but… who is it going to?" Vetrina asked.
"Lord Freeza of course!" Krimria said.
Vetrina nodded.
"Well let us get started." She said. "Two in each direction."
The eight that had come along nodded and paired off in groups of two. After they had taken off Vetrina turned to all that remained, Kakkarrot, Krimria, Vegeta, and Kebnosh.
"You two go north, we'll go south. Then you move to the west when finished, while we move east." She ordered.
Vegeta crossed his arms,
"And why should I take orders from you?" He declared.
"Because you are the one who tried to have me sent to a planet to be killed! Now, that I am the oldest you will carry out my orders. If you have something to say, as an input then say it…if not, then hold your worthless tongue!" Vetrina barked.
Vegeta stared at her angrily, then took to the air. He and Kebnosh flew off north, as Vetrina, Krimria, and Kakkarrot took to the air as well. They then took off to the south. Vetrina sought out the two saiyajins that had gone south and flew that way. When she found them she stopped in mid flight full of shock. What she saw was not what she had expected. Toma and Poto were blasting the planets army into smithereens. And seeming not to even notice! She knew that the saiyajin race was pulled in the direction of destruction…but this was ludicrous! They were killing all these helpless people! She crossed her arms and glared at Toma and Poto.
"Stop!" She yelled.
Toma and Poto looked up at her in confusion. Vetrina flew down and found the leader of the army.
"Do you surrender your planet over to us?" She asked.
"I am not the one to give that order." The man said shakily. "But my army here surrenders."
Vetrina looked at Toma and Poto,
"This army surrenders, so move on to the next." She ordered.
Toma and Poto nodded, and without a word, they bowed then flew off. Vetrina turned back to the leader,
"Who has the power to surrender this planet?" She asked.
"Our King, Zao Wan." He said.
"Where can he be found?" Krimria interrupted.
"In his palace." The leader pointed east, "That way."
With that Vetrina took to the air again. She flew off in the direction the man had pointed, and Krimria and Kakkarrot followed her. Krimria flew up next to her,
"That was much unlike a saiyajin." She said.
"What was?" Vetrina asked.
"Letting those helpless people live." Krimria answered.
"What I did was the honorable thing to do. If I had let them be killed then it would have disgraced me and my people." Vetrina said in return.
"Hai, I suppose you are correct." Krimria said with a nod.
"Vetrina, we are coming close to our destination." Kakkarrot said.
"Okay, let us set down over there." Vetrina said. "Right in front of the palace, Kakkarrot come with me. Krimria go to Toma and Poto. Tell them I said, if they surrender to leave them and move on. If they don't surrender then do what they must."
"Hai, Vetrina." Krimria said, she lowered her head then flew off.
Vetrina and Kakkarrot landed in front of the gates leading to the palace. The were confronted by twenty guards,
"Sorry kids, but the King is not allowing visitors." They said.
Vetrina looked at Kakkarrot who was clenching his fists in anger.
"You have no idea who you're talking to!" He spat. "This is Princess Vetrina of the Saiyajin race!"
"Calm thyself Kakkarrot." Vetrina placed a hand on his shoulder. "Listen here guards, I am who he said. And if you refuse me to speak with the King then we shall make our way in by force."
At this the guards burst into laughter. Vetrina gritted her teeth and flew at her top speed behind their leader and hit the no familiar four spots on the back of his neck. He fell face first unable to move.
"Let us pass!" Vetrina growled.
The guards glanced at their fallen leader then unsheathed their weapons. Vetrina smirked at them, she glanced back at Kakkarrot,
"Ready to get some good fighting in?" she asked.
"Hai." Kakkarrot answered.
Vetrina moved back next to him and the two squatted. The guards chuckled and began to run at them. Vetrina flew up and dodged one of the guards' sword then kicked him in the back of his neck. She twisted to her right and kicked the next guard right across is right jaw. She landed then and elbowed the guard behind her in the gut and kicked him to the ground. She turned around and shot a powerful ki blast at four of the guards. They were consumed by the blast and were no more. She then ran up to another guard, kicking him in the knee and elbowing him between the shoulder blades. He went to the ground finished and Vetrina went on to the next. She punched him in the face and kicked him in his side. She heard his weak ribs crack and blasted him with a ki blast. She turned to three other guards and side kicked them in the face, she then flipped one over her back and kicked him in his stomach. He went to the ground and Vetrina moved on. She threw one of the guards in the air and flew up after him, she then elbowed him to the ground. She then appeared behind the other guard, she grabbed his arms and pulled his back down on her knee. She threw him aside and turned to her last three guards. They each had their weapons out and were shaking with fear.
"There is no use in fighting us. Just let us in." Vetrina barked.
At this Kakkarrot threw his guard back, and went to stand next to Vetrina.
"There is no point in trying to stop us. We will take over this planet. If you surrender or not." Vetrina declared.
The five guards that were left opened the gates then took off running. Vetrina and Kakkarrot paid no attention to them, they just made their way into the palace. Many more guards confronted them, but they just threw them aside after learning where the King was. Finally they came to the room and barged in. The King was sitting at his table reading something and jerked his head up when they entered.
"How did you kids get in here?" He asked.
"Never mind that, your planet is now ours for the taking." Vetrina said.
Zao Wan laughed,
"Oh it is, is it? You merely children!" He said.
"Wrong, I am Princess Vetrina of the Saiyajins. You of all people should know about us." Vetrina growled.
At this Zao swallowed hard. He then realized for the first time that his many guards were on the floor outside his door.
"You… kids did that?" He asked.
"Hai, now surrender, or your people will suffer!" Kakkarrot barked, getting aggravated.
"We have already taken over most of your planet. My fleet is fighting your pathetic army as we speak. If you don't want any more of them to die then you should surrender now." Vetrina said.
"Fine, I surrender my planet to you." Zao Wan said.
"Good." Kakkarrot handed Vetrina the watch sized transmitters.
Vetrina took it and began to talk,
"Krimria, the King surrenders. Stop whatever it is you are doing, tell Toma and Poto to explain to the armies what has happened. I shall call the rest of the fleet." She said.
"Hai, Vetrina." Came Krimria's reply.
Vetrina then sent the message to all but Vegeta and Kebnosh. For them to listen she would have to confront them. So she had Krimria come and guard the King while she and Kakkarrot went to find Vegeta. When they found him he was in the middle of blasting away a tank.
"Stop!" Vetrina ordered.
Vegeta shot the blast then turned to her.
"Honto?" He spat.
"The King has surrendered the planet." Vetrina said crossing her arms, "So we will head back to the ship."
"Nani!?" Vegeta exclaimed.
"You heard me! Now let us go before I get angry!" Vetrina yelled.
Vegeta loath glared at her but followed her. Vetrina told Krimria to leave the King and go back to the ship, but to tell the King if he tried anything that his people were gone. Krimria did as she was told and soon all were back at the ship. Vetrina made them all wait in the main room, while she took Krimria to her chambers to send message to her tousan. She used the transmitter to get a hold of him and told him all that had happened.
"What shall we do with the citizens?" Vetrina asked.
"That is not our problem. That is Freeza's." King Vegeta said. "I will let him know that you have it. He will send out his own fleet. So you are to stay there till they get there. I will keep you updated." With that the screen went blank. Vetrina sighed and hit the desk with her fist.
"We could be here for weeks!" Vetrina declared.
"Hai, we should go to the stores and get some clothes for our fleet." Krimria said.
"Nani!?" Vetrina asked.
"Just put on anything that you have to make you look less like a saiyajin." Krimria said.
After Vetrina and Krimria came to what the people called 'The Market' they began to walk around.
"It's amazing how they live without knowing they've been taken over." Vetrina mused.
"Hai, you are correct." Krimria said.
They entered a store and began to look for clothes. Vetrina refused to get anything that looked remotely for a girl, so Krimria settled on some boy jeans and a black tank top. She got eight pairs of jeans for Vetrina and eight shirts. She then went through and got things for Kakkarrot as well, then Vegeta and the rest of the fleet.
When it was time to buy the clothes, Vetrina told the clerk they had no money.
"Then you can't have the clothes." The clerk said.
"Nani!?" Vetrina barked.
"Calm thyself, Princess." Krimria said.
The clerk made a double take,
"She's a Princess?" she asked.
"Hai," Krimria answered.
"How do I know you aren't lying?" the clerk asked.
Vetrina flew up in the air and crossed her arms,
"Can anyone here fly?" She taunted.
The clerk stuffed all the clothes in bags and handed them to Krimria,
"Just get out of here!" she exclaimed.
Finally the day came were Freeza's fleet showed up. Their ship landed about a mile from them and they sent one messenger to them. The messenger told them that they could leave now. Vetrina just said 'Whatever' and ordered the ship to take off in an hour. During that hour she tried to get a hold of her tousan.
"We are heading home in half an hour. Freeza's men are here." Vetrina said as she leaned over the transmitter. "I hope this was your last scheme for me to prove myself."
"Hai, it was." King Vegeta said, then the screen went blank.
The trip back to Vegeta-sei did not seem as long as the one from. They landed on the same pad the had left from and were greeted by King Vegeta and Queen Nora. King Vegeta smirked as they got off the ship and crossed his arms.
"Did, Prince Vegeta survive?" Queen Nora asked.
"Hai." Vetrina mumbled.
Vetrina knew now that Prince Vegeta would not try and kill her by sending her away. For he would just have to come along.
Six Years Later
Vetrina is now ten years old, as well as Kakkarrot. Prince Vegeta is nine, and Krimria is twenty-seven. Vetrina and Kakkarrot have become closer than they had ever thought. And soon their trust in each other would be tested, in a matter unknown to them.
