Me: nephilim-princess I know what you mean but I was writing it at 1 in the morning and my mom was getting mad at me. But as soon as I woke up I started writing again! So heres the next chappie
Gina: … you talk too much
"Yea well nobodys ever mentioned there being a queen!" Veronica said in her defense as Sophia appeared. "Vegeta, your father wants you in the throne room. Im going to show the rest of you to your rooms." Vegeta nodded and turned to Raditz. They gazed at each other, it was obvious they were talking in their minds. Raditz nodded and bowed. Vegeta turned to Zero next. This time he spoke outloud.
"Once I enter those doors I am no longer your friend or comrade, I am your prince understand?"
"Yes sir" Zero said and bowed as well
"It was an honor working with you." Vegeta said and entered the palace. Zero, Sophia, Raditz and Veronica formed a semi circle type thing. "So…"Veronica was the only one to speak. "I guess you have to treat me like a princess now…watch over the humans too that's an order I guess."
"Come one Veronica, you have to be more commanding if you're ordering people to do something." Raditz advised.
"Ok ok, lets just go in and get this over with already." Veronica said spinning and entering. Everyone followed, occasionally glancing uneasily on each other. The walk through the main coridoor and it was like a step into the past for raditz. He stopped walking and looked around, choking down all the emotions that came up. Everyone continued walking, not noticing or just giving him a moment to collect himself. He stared at Kakkorots back. The grown up Gohan had been right, he never wanted to hurt his brother but Frieza would have killed him if he didn't do something. He wondered if he himself explained it to Gohan in the other time line or if someone else like Vegeta did. Ether way he was secretly glad Kakkorot forgave him, not like he would have acted any other way if he hadn't but still. Raditz stared at the ceiling. Boy he never thought he be here again for a long time. Seeing Vegeta reunite with his father reminded him he still had to trace down his parents. Readitz looked to the floor…what would his mother say when she hears he killed his brother. He sighed.
"Raditz." He looked up and locked eyes with teen Gohan.
"Come on, we're waiting for you." They walked back to the group silently.
Gohan was trying to forgive him just as his father did but it was harder than it sounded. When they reached the group everyone started walking again. Bulma couldn't help worrying over Vegeta. She hoped his mother was alright, that man had experienced enough grief to last three lifetimes.
Veronica kept glancing at Zero. He was unusually quiet. When she walked in, she felt…she wasn't sure but the feeling was still with her. A nagging feeling that told her she belonged here. She knew Zero didn't feel that way, in fact he probably wanted to get out of here as fast as possible. She tried not to think about it but she knew shed eventually have to face the problem. She knew once the tornument was over she might not want to leave. She knew Zero was her mate and loved her, but would he be willing to stay here just for her?
Just as she was pondering this she bumped into the back of non other than the love of her life. "Whaa…?" she said looking around. When she spotted a bedroom door it registered they were showing the humans their rooms. Oops she thought to herself. She caught Zero smirk out of the corner of her eye and playfully slapped him. "The future boys will stay in here k? any problems find me, Raditz, zero, Veronica or Vegeta. If you have a death wise then the king."
F. Trunks and F. Gohan entered their rooms and everyone continued walking in silence until Raditz spoke. "Hey guys I'm tapping out of the tour for now, I'll catch up with you later." He took a turn down a different corridor. "Hey wait, if your going to train I'll spar you." Veronica called out, wanting to take her mind off the possibility that Zero might leave her. "No you have to be a princess now remember? Besides im just going to find Dad and Ma so yea…you really don't want to see me get killed. Ask Vegeta, shes not pretty when shes mad."
"Why would she be mad?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe because I killed my brother and failed to protect you." He anwered, perfering to keep the conversation away from his brother and nephew…and the freaking namikian that killed him.
"but it wasn't your job to, you were assigned to Vegeta." Veronica said, trying to save Raditz a beating..if possible, she heard Bardock was not only King Vegeta's guard because he was strong, but also a lot like the king. Vegeta said once they seemed to be good friends.
"Yea, but your royalty, and Im an elite warrior…its kinda like an unwritten law. Plus you're a cute girl, its part of my personal moral system." Raditz winked, spun on his heel and walked down the corridor laughing. Zero growled at his retreating form. Veronica sighed. "Down boy." She said, earning her a glare from Zero.
Eventually everyone got there room and Sophia went to train and before she knew it Veronica was alone in the hall with Zero. They stopped walking and looked at each other. "Um...where are we?" Zero asked. "Oh, I don't know I wasn't paying attention…shit I don't know how to get to my room from here." Zero sighed. "Wait right here…I'll go see if I can get Sophia to draw a map so this doesnt happen again."
"Zero wait!" but it was too late, he had already disappeared.
"Damn it I hate being alone." She spat.
"Oh sweetheart you aren't alone." She spun around. There stood leaning against the wall was Vegeta. In his arms was a beautiful woman whose cascading black hair wasn't like normal sayian hair. It was silkier. Veronica couldn't take her eyes off the woman, she was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
"Oh? So this is the first time you met your mother is it? How touching." Her eyes flew back to the man before her. By the way he talked she could tell it wasn't her brother. Just then she realized the energy flowing around them. There before her, with her mother in his arms stood…
"Nightmare." Veronica whispered in awe. Even after the current event she still cant believe shed seeing him again.
"Come with me or I will kill her." Nightmare said, implying her mother. Veronica clentched her fists. Weak was one thing a sayian truly hated feeling. But she didn't want to risk losing a mother she just got. "Very well." She said, venom dripping on every word. "Execellent!" Nightmare said, smiling like he won the lottery, which in a way he did.
Zero stood in the empty hallway, a few minutes too late. "Dammit." he was filled with rage and he began to search the palace to inform Vegeta of what had just occured. This was the second time he lost his mate to that damn copy and he wasnt going to let Nightmare get away with it for long
Me: Sorry guys another short one
