and now i own Kaida, Angel, B Vegeta and Kio too!
Two years had past since the night the note had been found. Trunks hadn't challenged his father for the throne yet. He and Pan had another heir. A little girl. She too was oddly colored. Her hair was a vibrant red, straight down to her shoulders and eyes that were as green. Opposite of her brother. But she too had a brown tail. They named her Kaida, meaning 'little dragon'. On their planet, dragons in legends were two colors, red and green, just the colors of the royal heirs. Trunks couldn't understand though, why were his heirs oddly colored? Goten and Bura's daughter Angel and L Vegeta and Luna's twin sons Vegeta and Kio looked just like every other saiyan.
Everyone had rejoiced when Trunks told them that his memory was back. He remembered everyone, everything. They were all truly happy for him. But when he told them of the letter, the color had drained from everyone's tanned faces. Frantically, they all wondered who could possibly pose a threat to the royal family of Vegeta-sei? Especially the crown prince! It was a mystery that none had figured out in the past two years. Security around the palace had stepped up. Each child traveled around with at least four guards at all times. The males each had a guard and the females each had three of their own.
Trunks sighed as he looked out his window. It was mid-day and he had gone to his room to shower. He and, his now body guard, Devlin had just had a long spar. Devlin was so close to ascending, Trunks could feel it. He had gotten down to his boxers before the sight of the garden sucked him in. It was still a beautiful place. But he and his five companions no longer had time to go and play there. They were all so busy. The boys trying to figure out the threat and the girls being mothers.
"Trunks?" He turned to see his little brother. "You alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine Veta. Just looking at the garden." Trunks was startled from his thoughts.
"Then why the long face?"
"It just makes me sad. Because we played in there just about every day. And the way the scare's going, Ryu, Kaida, Angel, Baby Vegeta and Kio'll have no privacy there." He leaned up against the window.
"If that's indeed where they play."
"Well, we didn't want to play there at first either. But we ended up there all the time."
"We'll figure it out." L Vegeta said confidently.
"I hope so. Those five deserve happiness. The kind we had."
"Yea, I know what you mean." The two males stopped talking and just looked at the garden. "Are you going to betroth anyone to Ryu?"
"I don't know. Arranged shit usually doesn't work out."
"What about us?"
"We were lucky. And I can't exactly promise him to Angel either. That cousin shit's just nasty. I don't care if other planets do it, me son and niece aren't." Vegeta just laughed. He doubted his twin would let Trunks do that anyway. "Now get out. I need a shower."
"I'd say so. Later Tru." L Vegeta left. He hadn't really gone to see his brother for any particular reason, other then to check on him.
"Later Veta." Trunks took his shower then met back up with Devlin. They were going to meditate in an off-shoot of the gravity room, but they smelled so bad, they couldn't stand it.
"Good afternoon my Prince."
"Hey Dev." They meditated for an hour before Devlin started talking.
"How is your sister?"
"She's good." Bura was once again with child. She was in month six. "She's hoping for a male."
"Does she have any names?"
"If it's a girl, Vega, and a boy, Barrinko. How's your daughter?" Devlin had a son named Miles, after his brother, that was seven, and a daughter named Aurora that was one and a half.
"She's good. Sprouting up by the day. I'm going to train her to be a fighter." He smiled broadly.
"A fighter? You know that's."
"Against the law?, yes. But only to protect herself, like your mate."
"I see." Trunks closed his eyes, signaling that he was done talking.
After meditating more, it was time for dinner. The royal family and Sons all still ate together. But now their body guard lined the walls. The sight made Trunks sad. All around his family stood men poised to attack. About fifty total. Pan took her place by Trunks' side. Next to her was Ryu, Kaida was next to Trunks.
As he ate, Trunks quietly looked around the table. It was hard to believe that two years ago, he had forgotten all of these people for seven months. That he had forgotten everything. But now that he was better, there was a new threat to his family. He had already lost them for seven months, he wouldn't lose them again. This had to be put behind them, for the sake of their children.
At the head of the table sat K Vegeta. He looked around, thinking the same thought as his son. It angered him that some unknown enemy was threatening his family and he could do almost nothing. Nothing but what he already did, add more security. He was the head of the two families, but there was nothing else he could do. Around the table sat four generations. While he only had grandchildren, Kakarotto had great-grandchildren. Even though the letter was given to Trunks, it was also a threat to him. He looked at Bulma. Her head was down and she was playing with her vegetables. He could tell that she was thinking the same as he and Trunks.
Pan sighed and stood up. "I'm going to bed everyone. Good night." She kissed her mate good night, picked up Kaida and went off to the baby's room, behind her, guards closely following. Entering the nursery, she got the baby ready for bed. Once Kaida was put down and sleeping, she left her in the care of her guards. Two at each window and each side of the door. Then she crossed the hall into her and Trunks' new room. When they had become official mates, they had switched rooms. Next to Kaida's room was Trunks' old one, which was now Ryu's.
Half an hour later, when everyone else had finished dinner, or rather finished pushing around their food, Trunks walked down the hall to his room. A nanny had taken Ryu for a bath. Once he entered his hallway, he smelled blood. His pace quickened as he neared his room and the smell got stronger. "Pan?" He yelled, but got no response. "PAN!" He screamed louder, his voice cracking with worry. When the door refused to open, he blasted it in.
What he saw sickened him. The bodies of Pan's six night guards lay around the room. One man had a hole shot straight through his chest. Two were strangled with their own tails that had been ripped off. One had been decapitated and one torn apart limb by limb. The last one, however, was still alive. "Pan!" Trunks screamed loudly enough to wake up the whole royal wing of the palace. Raising his ki, he could feel his family rushing toward him. Quickly, he shot across the hall to find his daughter's guards all dead, but she was peacefully sleeping in her crib.
"Trunks!" He heard Gohan shout from the hall. When Gohan heard his only child's name yelled, he came as fast as he could. "Trunks, what, oh my gods! What happened here?" Gohan yelled.
"Gohan." Trunks tried not to stutter. By that the time rest of the family had arrived. "Gohan, I . . . I don't know. This is how I found everything, everyone, save the door I blasted in."
"Where's Pan? Where's my baby?" Videl sobbed.
"I . . . I." Trunks just stuttered.
"Father, over here." Bura said.
The king turned and walked over to his only daughter. She stood in front of the body of a guard. The was the only one left alive. His eyes were closed, blood seeping out from beneath his lids. He was covered in blood everywhere. His face and even his snow white hair. In his chest protruded a knife with a letter on it. Carefully, Vegeta snatched up the note and read it to himself. "Everyone to the throne room." He ordered everyone out of the room. Trunks, on his way, grabbed his sleeping daughter and freshly bathed son. Vegeta ordered that guards clean the room and put the live man in a regeneration tank.
When they all reached the throne room, everyone sat down, guards all around. Trunks looked up at his father. In his arms, his daughter still slept, on his lap sat his son. He held on to them as tightly as he could, like he was afraid that they were going to disappear from his very sight. Everyone looked uneasy. Bulma sat next to her mate. Bura and Goten together, Goten holding Angel. Luna and L Vegeta also sat together, each holding a boy. On the other side of the room, Kakarotto and Chichi sat next to each other. Gohan and Videl sat last, on either side of their son-in-law.
"Family. It has finally happened. Our unknown enemy has struck. They have taken Pan. At least I hope they have. After seeing that room, I don't want her to still be in there, with the same fate as those guards." The king stopped and looked at his family, a lump forming in his throat. He could see tears in all of the female's eyes, but their pride refused to let them fall. Trunks' face was like a stone. K Vegeta wondered if he was even listening. "But another note has been left." Everyone looked up, but Trunks still stared ahead. "It says:
Well now Trunks, you were warned. But you and your Family did nothing to prepaRe for my coming. And nOw you lost your beloved Pan. Your life. Now you will feel my pain, pain of loSing family. Don't you wish that you had walked her To bed? Just think, not long ago she was in your arms. But no longer, she's mine now, forever."
Not a word was said. No one moved. They couldn't. Not after that note. Finally someone moved. Trunks. He handed his daughter to Videl and his son to Gohan. He stood, fire burning in his eyes. "I'm going to find her."
"No." The king's voice was stern.
"Yes father. I am. She's my mate. When I lost my memory, she was there for me. Now that she needs me, I'm not going to let her go. Not without a fight."
"But Trunks, you don't know where to look." Bulma pleaded.
"It matters not mother. I will go. I will find her."
"Fine son. You have six years. Six years to find her. Then you must come back and take the throne. If you don't return on your own, I will send others to bring you back. And you will come back. Understand?" K Vegeta's eyes were cold, his voice commanding.
"Yes father. I will take one hundred men with me. No family. Understand?"
"Yes. Dismissed."
Trunks turned, kissed his children on the foreheads, then left while everyone else stood up. They all walked up to the throne.
"I'm going with Trunks."
"No Goten, he wants no family." Kakarotto said.
Goten ignored his father, turned and left the throne room. He would see his best friend one last time for the next six years.
was it as good for you as it was for me?
