Chapter four Scouters
Vege pov
"Half breed, I'm done making your scouter," I call from the living room of his home, he come running in looking very excited.
"Cool how does it work," Gohan asks as he looks at all the buttons, okay so I added some extas, for starters, I made it so Frieza won't be able to listen in, or anyother eavesdroppers for that matter, I also gave it direct connections to all other saiyan scouters, it has a tracking device, a playlists of all of Frieza's 500 most hated songs and shall play on any of his ships and or bases if being played on a scouter; I also upped it's ki resistance, and most importantly directions to the nearest food source, then of course a camera and recorder but those are only good for so much.
"Well the on switch is on the top, the first button press once to get my scouter, twice Raditz, three my daddy or four Nappa, press the second button to read a power level, the third button to listen to Frieza's 500 least favorite songs, the fourth button once to take a photo, twice to record, three times to stop recording, press the last button once for directions to food, and twice to track down another scouter," I explain to him pointing at the button on his scouter with a black lense.
"You did that in thirty minutes," Bulma exclaims as she looks at it.
"I also made sure no eavesdroppers can listen, and did the same to my own scouter," I answer with a laugh.
"Amazing," Chi-chi says before fainting.
"Thanks for the scouter Vege, but I got to get back to training with piccolo," Gohan says walking out the door, his orphans had left after we arrived back from the mall an hour ago.
"Don't bawl too much half breed," I call after him as he leaves the house; Bulma chuckles.
"You think you could make me a scouter, and maybe one to put into mass production," she asks me with a grin.
"Why not," I answer this time it only takes me ten minutes to finished the enhanced scouter and a minute to build a downgraded scouter for mass production, Bulma's matches her hair while the other is well grey.
"That was even faster than the last time, but why does the second one have fewer buttons," Bulma asks noticing only the button for communication, then she notices a remote.
"Simple you only need them really for communication, so that's all i put in, I added the remote so that you can just dial in the scouter number you wish to contact," I answer with a roll of the eyes.
"Fair enough, so do you want to come with me to present this to the capsule corp. board so we can get this thing on the market," Bulma asks me with a smile, I nod my head and write a quick note to chi-chi saying where we all are, then got into Bulma's car with her.
It was three hours later that I found myself with Bulma in a room full of humans, all whom did not seem happy. Bulma didn't have presentation board or anything like that set up, she had pulled out the downgraded scouter and it's remote, and was currently holding them up.
"Alright hurry this up, you haven't presented something that could be a universal product, if the universe had other inhabitants in weeks Bulma, so this better be good," the head of this board, who was a very bald and a extremely fat man in a black suit.
"Humans so secluded, their in the dark, which is why black is a color assosiated with the planet and the race," I say not quietly but not extremly loud either.
"Princess, please be nice," Bulma states to me with a polite tone.
"This is boring, and I've done this sort of things a million times before but never had it been so boring, where's the death threats the ki blasts, the death, the blood, the shouting, the closing of the deal, and most immportantly where is the food," I asks with a frown, Bulma chuckles slightly at my words.
"Tell you what, just tell them what you think needs said, without threats and we'll find you some food," Bulma tells me with a small chuckle which causes me to slightly be annoyed.
"Very well this is a scouter it is a universal product first made by saiyans I am Vege the crown princess of the saiyan race, daughter of King Vegeta the second son of king Vegeta the first; the scouter's basic function is to communicate over long distances if I wish I can call someone who is based off the speed that humans can go at with space travel 79billion lightyears away, all in the blink of the eye," I tell them with smirk on my face.
"Did you say saiyans," the woman next to the fat man asked confused her hair was blond and her eyes brown.
"Yes; all sales made from the scouters go directly to the assigned person, whom is assigned by a saiyan royal, who will over time collect our share of the money and distribute it to the people who earned it; the saiyan race has four universal products and only 700 out of approximately 900trillion planets do not have one or more of these four products earth being one of them. The scouter is a very well used product, another is the rejunervation tank, saiyan travel pods, and saiyan armor," I respond to the woman.
"So you're a saiyan, what evidence do you have that you are not human," the fat man asks with a chuckle.
"I have a tail," I say unraveling from my waist and swinging it behind me in an annoyed fashion the weather out side is nothing but strong winds.
"Fair enough, but how do we know these scouters actually work," the man asks with a frown, not very many others seem to really care; as if on cue my own scouter beeps for incoming transmission, I pull it out of my pocket put it on and let it come through.
"Vege do grandfather a favor and stop the wretched damn music," the voice of Frieza says via scouter I hate how he thinks that he is my grandfather when he clearly isn't.
"I can assure you that I am not doing it, if I was it'd be the saiyan national anthem nonestop," I tell him with a chuckle.
"Then find out the source," Frieza says through what sounds like clenched teeth, before ending the transmission.
"Sorry about that, Frieza, he has bad timing unless you're him in which case he thinks it's perfect," I say with a small chuckle.
"Quick question how old are you dear," the woman next to the fat man asks with a frown.
"Four," I tell her with a chuckle, the others look at me wide eyed like they find this really hard to believe.
"So princess you think we got a deal," Bulma asks me looking at the others.
"Perhaps but if so they can only manufacture the scouters in grey or transparent, also you have to be the head of the profits made from the money, until a royal saiyan can take control of it," I tell her with a smile, the fat man listens to my words; stands up and offers a hand to seal the deal.
"You have a deal," the man says waiting for me to shake his hand, I rather not but oh well, smirking I spit on my own hand and shake the hand of the much larger man.
"That's disgusting," the woman says repulsed.
"This is what saiyans do, we don't require a contract either know this if you fail to do anything agreed upon, the saiyans do have a right to your life, and if we don't do the same, you have a right to let us know," I tell them with a warning in my tone.
"So what was your call about," Bulma asks me as we stand in the elevator taking us to the main floor of the building.
"He asked if I was responsable for the music he hates, I told him no because technically the half breed is playing the music," I tell her with a smirk, she chuckles at my words, somthing is bugging me here.
"So what do you want to do now," Bulma ask me with a laugh.
"Food, I'm a saiyan we are known for technology, fighting, and tremendous appetites," I tell her with a smirk; she laughs at my words, I don't know why but I feel as if between my half sheltered life, and my few days on earth, I am not good with keeping my emotions well, not there.
three hours later
"I'm going to go play outside Chi-Chi," I call to the human princess, I wasn't really going to play, or train but does it matter it's just a lie; something I need to do when necessary.
"Alright be back in before dinner," she responds, I don't answer but take off in the sky and fly as fast as I can, I need to have some real fun, anything is better than doing nothing, or minimal excercises. I continue to fly until I feel a very familiar ki nearby; odd how is it I'm near the half breed that is not where I was intending to go, okay so I didn't plan on going anywhere but sitll. I land silently on the grass and watch as Gohan cries while being chased by a dinosaur; pathetic. It could help him with his speed though, half breed probably hasn't even realized it yet, he's training with this wilderness survival, not just surviving but how observant is the half breed.
I watched the training progression of the half breed for the next three months doing some training myself, better training than I was getting while at the half breed's home, in my time here my scouter has gone of plenty of times most of which were from Bulma, a few Frieza which I answered, some my daddy, a couple from Nappa. And it's just now that I saw the name assosiated with the beep Raditz, either they were using his scouter or they wished him back; well not taking the risk.
"Vege what are you doing here," Gohan asks me as he finally notices I'm here; I was lying down looking up at the stars, at one particular star that was really a planet, a planet that was actually long destroyed.
"I've been here three months, right now I'm looking at the stars, I know which ones are actual planets and the name of the planets," I tell him with a calm tone.
"Which one is Vegetasei," Gohan asks as he looks at the stars.
"You see the brightest star, go to two the right, down one," I tell him as I look at my home planet I never set foot on.
"Hard to believe that what appears to be so small used to be home to the saiyans," Gohan says with a yawn causing me to yawn, before I know it he's fast asleep, and not much later so am I.
Vegeta pov
I frown as we leave behind the ruins of the planet we just purged; I could care less about the name. My scouter beeps, I look at the transmission id, and see unknown, who the hell would be trying to get a hold of me, when I don't know them. Agrily I put on my scouter and accept the transmission.
"Who is this, this better be important," I snarl into my scouter, I hear the slight jump on the other end.
"Um is this King Vegeta of the saiyan race," a female voice asks through the scouter.
"This is he now what do you want," I snarl back.
"Um I'm calling from Earth, my name is Bulma Briefs, the reason I'm calling is because Vege is missing, and she won't answer her scouter," the female voice responds through the scouter.
"How long has she been gone," I asks with a snarl.
"Um well she's been gone well," Bulma the woman on the other end says, too long clearly how.
"How long," I yell loudly into the scouter.
"Three months sir," was the response after a few minute wait.
"You mean to tell me my daughter has been missing three months and you just now thought to tell me," I snarl angrily into the scouter, humans so stupid, maybe I should just blow up the planet.
"We would have tried calling sooner, but we were sure we'd be able to find her, but it seems her ki level is surpressed," the voice says a little shaky now.
"If she so much as has a scratch on her, I will burn your planet until nothing but ash is left," I tell her my voice menacing, I hear a small intake of breath through the scouter.
"Yes sir understood," she responds calmly, I call Nappa on my scouter.
"I'm taking a quick trip to earth, and may end up destroying it while there," I tell him through the scouter he doesn't respond.
Gohan pov
I woke up to the feel of a very large ki level, I didn't get up immediately but remained lying down. When the ki seemed to be so close it was right next to me from the feel of it, I opened my eyes partially and saw Vege was still sleeping, well she's stronger than me, and is better at ki senseing so she must not be worried; so I close my eyes.
"Vege; wake up," a voice says, with not a harshness but more of a gentleness. I open my eyes again and see the owner of the voice, King Vegeta he was here, again but why.
"Hi daddy," Vege says with a slightly sleepy tone of voice.
"You get up too, half breed," the saiyan king says with a scowl, I slowly stand up next to Vege, and I notice the Z fighters, Bulma and my mom all there as well.
"What's wrong," Vege asks them all innocently; she scares me, a lot.
"Vege why didn't you answer your scouter, did it occur to you nobody would know your location," Vegeta asks keeping a calm voice as he looks at Vege, she only widens her grin.
"I knew that, but i missed you, and I don't know that many people on the planet, and Chi-Chi is boring," Vege answers him whining at that last part, my mom looks offended at the last part.
"Alright, I'll be forced back to my ship in a couple minutes, but until then i can hand out punishments;that way this doesn't happen again, and remember Vege you can always call me," Vegeta says you can tell he's trying not to lose his temper.
"Yes daddy i'm sorry," Vege tells him with wide eyes.
"Now punishments, Bulma, since you hesitated so long to let me know the situation you can house Raditz when he's brought back to life, until Nappa and I arrive to collect him; you're fighters get a fight against the saibamen when i arrive with my ship; the one who was supposed to be watching Vege, you get but a thousand dollars for your pay, more than you probably deserve; half breed congratulations you're now in charge of Vege, and as for you, Vege; Nappa is going to hear about this," Vegeta says with a laugh. Wait did he say i have to babysit Vege, how is that going to work she's stronger than me.
"No daddy you can't tell Nappa; I'll never hear the end of it, telling Nappa would be almost as bad as telling Jeice, Zarbon, or Frieza, or Cooler, or King Cold or Raditz, or worse Avo, and Cado," Vege says with a pleading tone of voice, who are those people she just listed.
"It's time you learned that you're a saiyan and a saiyan princess, you can't be spoiled all your life; when i was five i was sent away from my family and my race; I was beat sensless constantly, if i wasn't sleeping or eating, i was training, being beat, or healing in a tank, unless i was off planet; Vege you spent years of your life in the very place I grew up for the most part; though you need to learn how to stand on your own; you shouldn't have to learn to do so in conditions that could kill you; here you are for the most part safe," Vegeta tells her with a small hint of a smile.
"Alright daddy I'll try," Vege says with a smile, he pats her head, there's a blinding light, and once it's gone so is Vegeta.
"I really am starting to like that guy less and less," Krillin mumbles.
"Hey we still get a fight, and it's not against him or the other saiyan how bad could it be," Yamcha says with a grin.
"Saibamen are as strong as Raditz," Vege tells them with a laugh, at these words the others all frown.
"I'm confused, how does he expect Gohan to be in charge of Vege," Bulma states with a frown looking at me and the saiyan princess.
"Simple if you know my daddy and his thinking it comes down to a matter; though he said Gohan is in charge of me; it is more of a job of making sure i don't wander off again, and to make sure that i can learn to take care of myself; and to make sure i don't do anything to risk my injury," Vege says with a small chuckle.
"You got all of that out of one small sentence," Bulma asks her amazed, Vege doesn't answer because her scouter beeped.
"Hello Frieza," Vege says into it, as she listens her face becomes angered and the sky becomes black, and soon a storm is raging.
"What's wrong," Tien asks her with concern.
"He changed his mind, he told all of them; except Raditz of course, but still he told Nappa, Frieza, Cooler, Zarbon, King Cold, Jeice, Avo, and Cado this is awful; the entire PTO is nothing but one big universal gossip line," Vege says anger and worry mixed in her voice.
Vege pov
The humans and half breed all stare at me confused i was about to further explain when i got a call on my scouter, I look at the name, gret Jeice already.
"What do you want," I ask him slight anger in his voice.
"Calm down okay; I was calling because I saw the photo Vegeta took of you and the half breed, so cute; it's just plain adorable," Jeice says I cut him off before he can go on.
"He sent out a photo; what is he trying to do to me," I shout into my scouter.
"It's alright Vegey it's not the end of the world; but now we all know your secret," Jeice says with a laugh.
"What secret," I snarl at him; I hear struggling on the other end.
"Let me talk to Vegey," Zarbon says with a whine I really hate their nickname for me.
"You still there," I state into the scouter.
"Vegey; I just wanted to tell you congratulations, on the boyfriend you and the half breed make the most adorable couple," Zarbon says into the scouter.
"My what; Zarbon I'm not even five," I shout into the scouter.
"So; you're four, he's around that age, he may be a half breed; but he's the only saiyan your age, it's so obvious; anyways Jeice wants his scouter back, so tell your little friend i said hello; and we'll talk later," Zarbon says ending the transmission. My scouter beeps again, this time it's Cooler; and despite my better instinct i answer.
"Princess; I just got the photo of you sleeping next to the half breed, it just so adorable, you should bring him to Frieza's ship, that way the rest of us can meet him, I'd talk longer but I'm in the middle of purging a planet; tell the half breed to train a lot," Cooler says well at least his call was short.
"Um Vege; what's wrong," Gohan asks me slightly worried.
"Nothing; by the way Zarbon says hello; and Cooler says to train a lot," I tell him with a frown on my face.
"Who," Krillin asks confused.
"Just don't ask," I tell them my scouter beeps again, I look at the name; great the worst of them all Avocado; which means the two are merged at the moment; for some reason i answer.
"Vegey; we got the photo albulm of you and the half breed, it's a small album only nine photos, but hopefully Vegeta will send more, anyways we just wanted to say how cute you and the half breed look with eachother, our favorite is the one of you and the half breed at the mall; you know where you were standing protectivly in front of the half breed; oops got to go; I'm surrounded," Avocado says with a laugh after I answer.
"When did he get a camera on his scouter," I shout angrily at nothing in particular.
"What's wrong princess," Bulma asks me with a polite and concerned tone.
"Nothing that wouldn't embarrass me more by telling you," I answer back angrily.
"That bad huh," Krillin says with a frown.
"Give it another five minutes and every planet in the universe just about will know," I say my scouter beeps once more; i think about not answering but seeing as it's king cold it's best to get it over with, because if he wants to talk he will call until you answer and if you don't he'll show up in person.
"Princess how does it feel, my sources indicate that 80% of the unvierse has seen those photo's you're a celebrity; your father must be so proud, I of course have got to meet this little half breed sometime," King Cold says with a joyful tone of voice.
"That's not a good thing in my opinion, remember i'm saiyan we don't demand attention; especially from 80% of the universe," I say angrily into the scouter.
"Well that is a problem, good bye, and make sure you don't leave behind the half breed when you leave," King Cold says ending the transmission.
"That's it, I hate my life," I shout angrily.
Me:Poor Vege near the entire universe has seen a photo of her standing next to gohan
Gohan:what would make them think a couple four year olds are a couple
Vegeta:most the universe out there sees things that way, it's a bit like the interenet once there it spreads and will never go away.
Me:it's alright guys a lot of people out there are like me, and follow the saying nothing is official until it's on facebook!
Vege:DBZ universe doesn't have facebook
Frieza:what's facebook
Me:facebook is a website where you can put social updates and photos, and have friends; it's like there is some unknown competition for who can have the most friends
Jeice:I want a facebook
Zarbon:make a chapter about facebook
Me:remind me not to tell you about twitter, or myspace
Avocado:you just did
Cooler:explain now
Me:Remind me to kill turles later
Turles:why
Me:you taught them how to get to these end conversations
Turles:sorry
Vegeta:who cares REVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW OR ELSE
