This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
A silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

For the next several days the two groups moved quickly to prepare themselves for the upcoming confrontation. One week after their talk Vegeta was training the Namekiens in the art of fazing. The green men learned fast while Bulma finished her secret project in record time. Now she needed to create dozens of them in a short amount of time and this would require a bit of help. The blue haired female stepped out of her lab and looked around for a head of short, brown hair. Upon locating said person she headed over to their station.

"Jen!" she called as she grew closer to the other female. The girl looked up, her blown eyes bright as she saw her friend. Jen was of Minsage decent, her skin pale like Bulma's own, but her race's eyes were all brown and their hair the same. The all resembled each other and so it was often hard to tell the difference in any of them, but Jen was not full Minsage, she had another race in her; human.

"Hello, Blue," the girl said. Jen looked only to be in her late teens, but the female was at least 100 in human years, but her Minsage blood allowed her body to stay young while she lived on for hundreds of years. "So, what do you need now? Some naughty lingerie?" Bulma's face turned red as she grabbed her friend's hand and dragged the female with her. Once inside her lab she turned to her now confused friend.

"Do you want to be free?" Jen's face registered shock before a smile appeared.

"You know I do!"

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive

Vegeta threw punches at the male before him, the green man smirking as he dodged. In another part of the room groups of green sparred hotly while only one other team had Sayian against Namekien. Each group was trying out what they had been taught by the militaristic prince. Even though their counterparts knew what they could do they were still getting a good workout from it.

"Okay! Now on to ki fighting!" Vegeta hollered as the groups dispatched and stood before him in several lines.

Frieza sat in his large throne room, his red eyes resting on the space outside his large orb window. Dodoria stood next to him, but Zarbon's spot left unfilled, for Zarbon was going to be hard to replace. He had been his right hand man for a long time and he had done more than any of his other crew, but what Bulma and her helper had done had damaged the green haired male and he would never have survived. He would have to destroy her for what she had done, but he didn't want to until she was useless to him and that would be a long time coming unless she did as he had warned her not to. He knew that she had already, but he had yet to catch with whom.

(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This was they way it was for the next week. Vegeta trained the Namekiens while Bulma and Jen worked nonstop on the weapons while Frieza's were just worked on. Theirs would be done long before it's would. Bulma got up from her bench where she had just completed the twentieth weapon when Jen came through the door with some food from her trek to the lunchroom.

"Hey," the dark haired girl said as she placed in on the counter. Bulma nodded as she stretched a bit before sitting back down. "So, how are things with your mate?" she inquired. Bulma smiled.

"Great. I just wish that we could be together officially. I can not wait till we leave this dump." Jen nodded.

"I can't wait to be free enough to find me a mate and live a normal life." Bulma looked over at her friend.

"You were mated once, right?" Jen nodded.

"He was a cheat and I had just given him his second chance when Frieza came to our planet. He was killed for fighting back." She looked back at Bulma, who was finishing up her food. "Funny thing is that I felt nothing. I just wish that I had been able to save my friend, Christopher." Bulma patted her friend's hunched back. "Bulma," she said as she looked down. "Where will I go?"

"To Vegeta-sei where we can find you a life. You will be taken good care of for you look like a Sayian in so many ways that you would be treasured. Besides, they have a shortage in women, so you as a woman would be welcomed and as I said, your coloring would play a big part."

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Frieza walked down the long halls to the main eating area when he saw Bulma heading the same way. A young girl was with her and the girls were giggling about something. Then he noticed that behind them was Vegeta with his lackey. Neither of them were talking, instead they were looking forward at the girls before them. What was going on? The separate groups walked into the eating hall, none of them paying him any mind. He touched the scouter on his face and with a few words he headed back from where he came.

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

"Bulma," Vegeta whispered. "We need to be faster and more careful." Bulma looked at him and nodded. She could feel it too. Frieza knew something, but he would be watching them for more. She nodded once more and headed for the lunch line. After the group got food they headed for a far off table away from all of the ears.

"Prince Vegeta has brought up a valid point," she whispers just loud enough for the group to hear. "We have to sped up, while at the same time being extra careful. The tyrant is on to us." While their attention was elsewhere a shadowed figure entered the room and moved closer to their small meeting. His brown eyes glared coldly at the group. Sure he loved her still, but she had left him and now he had no choice. He would have to destroy them all for plotting against his lord.

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

The song was by Bon Jovi. Thanks for being so patient. I missed writing so much, but with the lack of a computer it was hard to do my stories. Once again thanks. Please read and review. I miss hearing what you all have to say about my stories.
