Chapter 4



"I can't believe you let Shyra slip from your hands," Kyro's voice boomed across the room. He was not at all pleased at the news that Kento came back with. Kento was kneeling before his master, wishing he was anywhere, but there.

"I'm very sorry, sir, but we ran into some trouble."

"How much trouble could one human be?"

"I-it wasn't the human we had a problem with, sir."

Kyro's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

Kento shrunk back a little. "We, uh, ran into a saiyan, sir."

"A saiyan?! Was it Vegeta?"

"No, sir. It was someone else and he's very strong."

"Kuso! If he's a saiyan, then he must know Vegeta and that means Vegeta's seen Shyra." Kyro got so angry that his ki began to glow. "It's that human's fault for getting in the way. I want him dead!"

Kento stepped forward. "If I may, sir, I think I have a way that we can use the human boy to our advantage."

"Well I haven't got all day. Spit it out."

"I noticed that Shyra has taken quite a liking to this boy, so maybe..." he trailed off.

"Maybe we could use him as bait to lure her here," Kyro finished with a evil glint in his eyes.

"Exactly, sir, and I know someone who is perfect for the job."

"And who might that be?"

"She is a Kunzite named Ninjana, sir."

"A Kunzite? You mean she's an assassin," Kyro asked, raising an eyebrow.

The lowly servant smiled, happy to have peaked his master's interest. "The very best, sir."

"Excellent. Contact her at once."

"Yes, sir. Right away, sir."

Kyro sat on his throne as Kento left the room. "It looks as though I have to take everything that's dear to you once again, Vegeta. And when I've made you suffer, I will end your miserable life!"

Back at Capsule Corp., Brandon decided to go up to Sharon's room to talk to her. On the way, he saw Bura. "Hi, Brandon. Where you going," she asked with a big smile on his face.

"I'm going to see Sharon."

After hearing that, Bura jumped in front of him, blocking his path. "You can't go!" Brandon was a little surprised at her reaction. "Why not?"

"Because she's, uh...she's sleeping that's why."

Brandon looked at her suspiciously. "How do you know that?"

"Cause I was in there with her and she said that she wanted to go to sleep."

Just then Trunks came up behind Brandon and saw his little sister blocking the hallway. "What's going on?"

"Oh, uh nothing, Niichan."

"Then why are you blocking the hallway, Squirt,"Trunks asked with his arms folded.

"Because I don't want anyone to bother Sharon."

"Why is something wrong with her?"

"She told me that Sharon was sleeping," Brandon said.

"That's right and she doesn't need to be bothered."

Trunks sighed. "Look, I'm sure it will be okay if he wants to check on her, so you can let him go by."

Bura stood her ground. "I can't let anybody go by."

"Yes you can and you will." Trunks walked over to Bura and proceeded to drape her over his shoulder.

"Hey put me down," she yelled, pounding on her brother's back. Trunks ignored her rants and turned to Brandon. "Go right on ahead. She won't bother you anymore."

"Thanks." Brandon slowly opened the door and peeked inside. The first thing he noticed was that her bed was empty. In fact it hadn't been touched. Then he looked towards the balcony and saw that the doors were opened. He quickly walked over to the balcony to see if she was there, but he saw nothing. He started to panic as he searched the room. Trunks heard him rumbling through the room and peeked in to see what was going on. "Hey, Brandon, what's wrong?"

"She's gone! I can't find her anywhere. Someone must've taken her."

"Alright, just calm down," Trunks said while holding Brandon still. "Don't worry if someone came in here we would've known about it. All we have to do is find out where she went." He looked at Bura still hanging over his shoulder. "And I think I know just who to ask." He took his sister off his shoulder and placed her down in front of him. He had a stern look on his face as he knelt down to her level. "Alright Bura, something tells me that you know what happened to Sharon."

"Why would you think that?"

"Oh I don't know. Maybe it was because you were trying your best to keep us out of her room. Now are you going to tell us what happened or not?"

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because I promised I would keep it a secret."

Brandon knelt down next to Trunks. "Bura, you have to tell us where she is. She may be in trouble."

"There's nothing to worry about. She's fine."

"How do you know that," Trunks asked.

Bura sighed. "Because she went to go talk to Tousan."

"SHE DID WHAT," the two boys said in unison.

"She went to go find Tousan, so she could talk to him and she didn't want you to know because she thought you'd try to stop her."

"Of course I'd try to stop her," Brandon exclaimed. "What was she thinking, going out there all by herself? She doesn't even know where to find him."

"Oh, that's easy," Bura said, smiling. "All she has to do is find his ki."

"Find his ki? What are you talking about?" Brandon was totally confused.

"It's kinda hard to explain," Trunks answered.

"Look, just forget I asked. I have to go find Sharon." Brandon was about to run out the door when Trunks grabbed him by the arm.

"How do you expect to find her? She could be anywhere."

"I just can't sit here. What if she hasn't found your Dad? What if she's lost?"

"You won't be helping her out much if you get lost, too," Trunks said. "Let's go to my mom's lab. I'm sure we'll find something that can help us out."

Brandon calmed down a bit. "Alright, but we've got to hurry."

*****

"I asked you a question," Vegeta said still holding the tiger.

Sharon slowly got to her feet. "I-I came out here to find you."

Vegeta dropped the animal and walked closer to her. "What were you thinking, coming out here all by yourself? You could've been killed."

"I know. I'm really sorry," she replied quietly.

Vegeta sighed. "Does anyone else know you're out here?"

"No one else knows except Bura."

"Maybe we can get you back to the house before anyone notices that you're gone," he said and without further notice, he scooped her into his arms and blasted into the air. When Sharon realized what was going on, they were already a few hundred feet in the air. She started screaming and tightly wrapped her arms around Vegeta's neck. "Would you stop that incessant screaming," Vegeta yelled. "You're worst than Bulma."

Sharon stopped and turned her head to his chest with her eyes shut. "I'm sorry," he heard her mumble. "It's just that I'm afraid of heights."

"Afraid of heights," Vegeta repeated in disbelief, his ears still ringing. Sharon nodded her head. "That's impossible. What are you afraid of, falling?"

"Well it's not the falling part. It's the sudden stop at the end that scares me."

Vegeta looked at her puzzled. 'She loved to fly before,' he thought. 'How could she be afraid of heights now? Living in that other dimension has weakened her to much.' He smirked. "I guess there's only one thing left for me to do," he said out loud. Before Sharon could ask what he meant by that, Vegeta took her by the waist and flipped her around so she was under him. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was the ground. She shrieked again, fighting her way back to Vegeta's neck. "Stop moving, brat," he yelled, tightening his grip.

"But you're trying to kill me," she screamed back.

"No, I'm not! If I wanted you dead, I would've left you back there with the tiger. Now hold still. I will not drop you."

She looked up at him. "You promise?"

Vegeta sighed. "Yes, I promise."

She slowly stopped moving, but she was still scrunched up in a ball. Vegeta shook his head. "You won't get the full effect if you stay curled up like that."

"I don't think I want the full effect," she said shakily.

The saiyan prince was getting a little irritated. "Do you want to be afraid of heights for the rest of your life?" Sharon didn't answer. "Well do you?"

"N-no," she said with a small voice.

"Then straighten out your body and relax. I'll take care of the rest." Sharon couldn't understand why this strange man was going through so much trouble to help her. He didn't seem like the type to do that for just anybody. She went ahead and did what he said, waiting for the biggest scare of her life. Vegeta started at a low speed just above the trees. Sharon watched everything whip past her, feeling the wind in her hair. She unconsciously put her arms out as they picked up speed. "Wow," she said, "this is amazing."

Vegeta inwardly smiled. "Do you want to go higher?"

"Yeah let's go," she said like an eager school girl.

'I knew this work,' he thought.

Sharon gasped when he took her above the clouds. "It's...it's beautiful. It's like nothing I've ever seen." It looked as though she could see every single star in the galaxy. Just then she was hit with a severe case of deja vu. "That's strange," she muttered.

"What is?"

"It just that for some strange reason I feel that I've done this before, but I don't see how. I mean I don't know anyone back home that can fly. Actually no one can unless they're in an airplane or something, but this feels so normal to me."

"This can become just as normal as breathing if you want it to be," Vegeta said.

"Are you serious?"

"A saiyan prince never lies."

'Trunks never said Vegeta was a prince,' she thought. "You'll teach me to fly?"

"Only if you promise to give me your absolute best. I do not tolerate mumbling or complaining and I most certainly will not accept quitting. Once you're in, you're in 'til the end. Understand," Vegeta said with a stern look on his face.

Sharon saw that he meant business. "Yes, I understand completely. Wow, this is so exciting. When do we start?"

"Tomorrow at the crack of dawn."

Sharon's eyes widened. "At the crack on dawn?! But that's too--" she winced when she felt Vegeta's grip tighten on her waist.

"What were you saying," he asked.

"Uh, I was saying that would be a perfect time to get started," she said, trying to sound happy about it.

"That's what I thought," Vegeta said with a sly smile.

'Yeah just great,' she thought grumpily as Vegeta flew them back to the house. 'What have I gotten myself into?'

*****

Trunks and Brandon rushed into Bulma's lab to find that she wasn't there. "She must be in her room," Trunks said, looking around.

"Well what are we going to do know," Brandon asked impatiently.

"We'll just have to find it ourselves," Trunks replied.

"What does it look like?"

"It looks like a visor for one eye." Trunks walked around the lab, looking on tables and in drawers. "Wait a minute,"he said, stopping suddenly.

"What? What is it, Trunks?"

"I feel my dad coming this way and he has someone with him," he replied, running out the door.

"Hey wait up." Brandon ran after him.

They ran outside in time to see Vegeta descend and land with Sharon in his arms. Her feet barley touched the ground before Brandon ran up and embraced her. "I'm so glad you're okay, Sharon," he said, squeezing her. "I was so worried about you."

"I...won't be okay for long...if you keep...squeezing me like that," she struggled to say.

"Oh sorry." He let her go and looked her in the eye. "What the heck were you thinking, going out wandering around all by yourself? What if something happened to you? What if..."

"Okay, okay I'm sorry I left," Sharon replied. "Besides I already heard this from Vegeta, so you don't have to worry about me doing it again." Brandon looked at her surprised as she continued. "He also helped me get over my fear of heights. Isn't that great?"

"He did what," Brandon and Trunks said.

"I've never seen him do something like that for a complete stranger before," Trunks mumbled to himself. "It's hard enough sometimes to get him to do something like that for his own kids."

Brandon looked at Vegeta, who was standing behind Sharon with his arms crossed, and looked back at his friend. "He really did that for you?"

"Yes he did, which means he's not a bad guy."

"I guess not," he admitted, "but I still don't like the fact that he's hiding something about you."

"I know, but I trust him enough to let him tell us when he wants to," she said, looking at Vegeta.

He just huffed at her and walked past them into the house.

"Don't mind my dad's behavior," Trunks explained. "He may act like he doesn't care, but he's good person once you get to know him." He followed his father into the house, leaving Sharon and Brandon alone.

Brandon sighed. "I don't know. There's just something about him that has me on edge. He's connected to this whole mess somehow and I don't like it one bit."

"Well we can worry about that in the morning. Maybe Bulma can get it out of him then. Let's go inside and get some sleep. I'm exhausted."

"The Kunzite, Ninjana, is ready to speak with you now, Master Kyro," a crew member said.

"Good. Put her through on the screen." Kyro stood in the middle of the control room as people worked around him to make the necessary arrangements for his plans. A moment later an image of a female came into view. She had a tanned complexion and a slender yet slightly muscular physique. She had jet black bangs that covered her left eye. The rest of her silky hair was pulled back into a long braid reaching her waist. She wore a black body suit and a long, dark blue cloak draped over her shoulders.

"I am Ninjana,"she said, bowing. "What is it that you want of me?"

Kyro stepped forward. "I am Lord Kyro from the planet Psychonia. I have a job for you."

"I was lead to believe that Psychonia was destroyed years ago."

Kyro scowled. "Yes, well I am one of the few survivors that escaped my planet's unfortunate fate, but enough of that. I need for you to come to planet Earth and retrieve someone for me."

"Retrieve someone," she huffed. "I am an assassin not an escort."

"Believe me I know. You are the best assassin there is...aside from a saiyan, of course."

Ninjana's radiating purple eyes were blazing with anger. "I am ten times better than any saiyan."

Kyro smirked. "I'm glad to hear that because once I have who I want, you can kill every saiyan living on this planet except Vegeta. He belongs to me."

Ninjana raised an eyebrow. "You have caught my interest. Exactly how many saiyans are on this planet Earth?"

"As of now we have only found three including Vegeta, but we believe there are more. Of course you will be paid handsomely for your services."

Ninjana thought for a moment before giving her answer. "Very well I will complete the task you have set before me. I will arrive on your planet within two days your time."

"Excellent. We will discuss the specifics then."

"Very well, Ninjana out," she replied then the screen went black.

Kento walked up to Kyro. "Master Kyro, why have you ordered Ninjana to kill all the saiyans?"

"Those saiyans have done nothing, but give me and everyone else in this universe grief. I will be doing everyone a favor by killing them." He grinned evilly. "Once I have Shyra then I'll be rid of those saiyans forever."
