-"Bul- Bulma? Is that you?" I heard a familiar voice calling my mother's name as my back was still turned away from the intruder.
As I turned around I saw him…Tien! He was so different from the Tien I knew, he seemed tired and his face was full of scars and wounds, I guess from years of fighting.
-''Sorry you look like someone I know. You know it's dangerous to walk outside you should go back to your hide out.'' He said still looking at me from head to toe.
-''You called me Bulma. You know her? Is she okay?'' I questioned him and his eyes widened in surprise.
-''How do you know h-'' He suddenly stopped talking as he looked at the sky. He was looking at Pan, Vegeta, Turles, Nappa and Raditz that were descending to where Tien and I were standing.
-''MISS GET BEHIND ME, I WILL PROTECT YOU.'' He shouted as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me behind him and he took a fighting pose and glared at the five saiyins in front of him with hate in his eyes. I looked at Pan who was clearly surprised to see Tien standing in front of me as she looked at me with a confusing look.
-''GIRL WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE RUNING AFTER YOU ON THIS MUD BALL OF A PLANET AND WHO THE F*** IS THIS WEAKLING?'' Vegeta shouted at me as he chuckled looking at Tien's appearance.
-''You know these people?'' Tien asked as he finally let go of my wrist.
-''She's with us and you better let her go before you get three black eyes weakling.'' Raditz growled as he was stepping closer ready to attack Tien.
-''Hey Three eyes, I would step away from her if I were you, my brother as grown quite fond of this tiny half breed behind you and you never touch another saiyin's female unless you want to die of a slow and painful death.'' Turles added while smirking and his comment only made me blush. ''Did Turles just referred to me as his brother's female.'' I thought as I finally stepped aside from Tien as I could clearly see Raditz anger from having another male so close to me and I could only smile at his sudden jealousy.
-''Calm down all of you…He wasn't hurting me! I was actually asking him a few questions if you don't mind.'' I stated as I stepped between the saiyins and Tien to avoid any further confrontation. ''Now tell me…Bulma is she okay? You know her?'' I questioned him again. Tien was still in a fighting pose uncertain if he should trust any of us.
-''Listen I know you don't trust us but were not here to hurt you or any of your people. We are here looking for someone, another saiyin like us, you might know him. But when you called me Bulma…I know her and I just want to know if she's okay and alive. '' I continued trying to convince him.
-''How do you know Bulma? I never saw you before…How can I trust all of you when your friends look exactly like the man who killed most of the people on this planet.'' He answered still not moving from his stance.
-''You mean someone that look like them'' Pan finally replied as she was pointing at the four saiyins ''killed all these people and destroyed everything…This person also has a tail?'' Pan questioned.
-''That's exactly what I'm saying.'' He simply replied.
-''ENOUGH! We don't need this fool let's kill him and find the saiyin, we have no more time to waste with this buffoon.'' Vegeta spat annoyed.
-''Were not killing anyone! Please Tien you can trust us! We need to know what happened here and is Bulma okay?'' I looked at him with pleading eyes.
-''I never told you my name…How did you know?'' He said confused.
-''Euhhh…well you see…hehehe…'' I mumbled as I was trying to come up with an excuse. ''It was a guess; I'm very good at guessing people's names it's one of my special talents! Now please just tell me where Bulma is?'' I insisted again and he looked at me suspicious but finally gave in.
-''Look…last time I saw Bulma was 2 days ago. She was taken by that monster with the tail…He calls himself Kakarot…we have been trying to get her back but we failed.'' He finally replied as he clenched his fists and I could clearly see the anger and fear in his eyes. I couldn't believe it…I suspected it was Goku that did all of this, but now that he finally confirmed the name of the saiyin that did all this destruction I was in complete disbelief…How could this happen? I just hope that he didn't hurt my mother and that she is still alive…
-''Kakarot! I knew it was our brother!'' Turles said as he looked at Raditz.
-''We finally found him!'' Raditz replied with excitement.
-''Humph…if in fact this saiyin is your brother Kakarot, he will have some explaining to do on why these people are still alive after all those years. It should have taken 2 years for him to purge this pitiful planet and eliminate this weak species.'' Vegeta said rudely.
-''HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE PEOPLE OF THIS PLANET! HE KILLED MY FRIENDS AND DESTROYED MY HOME! WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS ARE YOU? DID YOU COME HERE TO FINISH THE JOB?'' Tien yelled at Vegeta as he powered up and was about to attack him but I quickly stopped him before he could even lay a punch.
-''Please stop, we don't want to fight you…were not here to cause any more problems…I know it's hard to believe but we simply want Kakarot and leave without any issues…We can stop him and end all of this.'' I said calmly as I was still holding his fist to prevent him from attacking Vegeta. He was looking deep into my eyes as he was trying to figure out if I was lying.
-''You can find him next to Mount Paozo not far from North Valley.'' He finally answered as he pointed to the right direction. ''But…he's not alone, a few days ago some other aliens landed here but they don't look anything like you people, they are very different and they were also looking for Kakarot. I could sense them fighting a few hours ago and I was about to go there to find out what was happening when I saw you…and I can't sense them anymore.'' He added.
-''Thank you and we are sorry for what happened to your friends…We will put an end to all of this I promise.'' I said to him as I looked down sadden by all the destruction around us and ashamed that this was caused by Go…Kakarot. I turned around looking at Pan who was clearly in pain by this news. We knew coming here would not be easy but we never expected this…
-''I don't care about your apologies…the sooner you find him the sooner you can leave our planet. You people have caused enough harm here and all I want is to protect those who have survived. You have 48 hours to leave our planet or we will kill you all or die trying!'' Tien said before flying away.
-''Who does that freak think he is threatening saiyins! We should have put an end to his miserable life!'' Nappa spat but before anyone could even answer Pan slapped him hard enough to make him fly off to a nearby tree.
-''DON'T YOU THINK YOUR PEOPLE HAVE DONE ENOUGH NAPPA? HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT KILLING HIM AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED HERE? YOU'RE ALL MONSTERS! LOOK AROUND YOU? HOW COULD YOU ALL BE OKAY WITH THIS? FRIEZA DESTROYED YOUR PLANET BUT YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING TO OTHERS WHAT THAT TYRANT DID TO YOUR PEOPLE?'' Pan yelled as she was trying to hold back the tears. Nappa was clearly shocked that she had slapped him; I could see in his face that he didn't understand her reasoning and that he was hurt by her remarks. I know Nappa cared deeply for Pan and he would never have said that comment if he knew the truth about us… How could we expect any of them to understand…I knew my father was evil before he met my mother but I never knew the extend of it…I simply heard stories but now seeing what Kakarot done to earth…I could only imagine all the purge missions that my father had to do…all the people he had to kill…all the people Raditz had to kill…
-''Listen here girl, NEVER COMPARE ME TO THAT LIZARD AGAIN! You might not like it but you are also a saiyin and this is what saiyins were sent to do. I have no time for your drama now, we have to find Kakarot and the other aliens…they could be part of Frieza's men for all we know they might have killed him already.'' Vegeta answered as he turned to face me. ''I know you are both hiding something from us and right now I don't really care…but this is clearly not your first visit to this planet and we expect some explanations later but we need you to show us the way to that Mount Paozo place.'' He finally added.
-''Follow me.'' I simply answered as we all flew to Mount Paozo. I couldn't deny the fact that we were hiding our true identity from them and sooner or later we had to tell them the truth.
