Chapter 11: Saiyan Homeworld
Syrell opens the hatch to the space-pod. "I'm ready to go when you two are."
Zucca blinks. "Who are you?", she asks.
"This is Syrell...she is one of Vegeta's descendants, and she's the one who repaired the space-pod. She wants to go along...", Dende says.
"You're going to need someone to take care of all the technological equipment...", she points out.
"Alright, she can come along...let's just go, though...", Zucca urges.
With that, the three of them climb inside the space-pod. Zucca and Rekka take their seats while Syrell closes the hatch and initiates the launching procedure. Gohan waves to them as the space-pod blasts off and heads into outer space.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Huh?", Dende said as he turned around and looked out into the sky.
"What is it, Dende?", Gohan asks.
"Another space-pod...", he says.
"Not more Saiyans!", Gohan yells.
"No...this one is different. There is only one being inside...a Namek..."
"A Namek?"
"The new guardian of Earth has arrived...", Dende says.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're approaching planet Vegeta...", Syrell says. "You take over from here, Zucca."
Zucca puts on her headset. "Spaceport, this is space-pod 618-2B, requesting clearance to land."
"You are cleared for landing, 618-2B.", the spaceport replies. "Proceed to landing pad C"
"Acknowledged.", Zucca replies, cutting the transmission. "So far so good..."
Rekka speaks up. "Keep your power level low, Zucca...we don't want Aspar to know we're here until we know what the situation is. Syrell...stay with us, and be careful."
The space-pod enters the atmosphere and plops into a large, soft, landing pad. When the pad stops moving, Syrell opens the hatch, and the three warriors climb out. They look up to the sky, where Saiyans were flying all over the place.
"Wow!", Syrell yells. "This place is so cool!"
"You two look around, since this is a good chance to catch a glimpse of your heritage. I'll find out what I can about Aspar from my sources and meet you back at the space-pod."
Rekka and Syrell nod and head off to take a look around. Zucca flies off to talk to some of her contacts within the Saiyan Elite Forces.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dende and Gohan looked over at the Namek spacecraft. The hatch opened and a Namek stepped out. He was apparently a Namekian Elder, due to his fairly old age. He carried a staff in his left hand, and had a grim look on his face. He walks up to Dende.
"You must be Dende...", he says. "I am Dulcimer, the new guardian for this planet."
"Glad you arrived so soon. Perhaps you could start by creating a new set of Dragonballs. We may need them for reviving people from Saiyan attacks."
Duclimer nods. "I understand.", he says as he sits down on the ground and begins to chant. He waves his hands above the ground and concentrates. Suddenly, seven dragonballs phase into existence right in front of him. He stands and smiles. "And on my first try, too."
With that, the Dragonballs float up into the air and scatter throughout the world. This surprised Dende. "What happened?"
"I must have done the chant wrong...they scattered before the eternal dragon could be summoned.", Dulcimer pointed out.
Dende speaks up. "Not all guardians get it right on the first try. It does not matter. We have no use for them right now. We will wait until a need arises."
Dulcimer gets up and walks around. "My information on this place did not say that it would be this beautiful. It is truly a spectacular piece of architecture..."
"I have enjoyed it for nearly a millennium...", Dende says.
"A millennium? Oh, of course...I had forgotten that Piccolo and Kami were a part of you now.", Dulcimer says. "Where is my room?"
"I will show you the way.", Gohan says as he leads the elder Namek off to his room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goten looked up, and much to his surprise, he saw a Dragonball flying through the air. He quickly jumps up and grabs it.
~~I don't know how the Dragonballs have returned, but now that they have...I could wish to be Saiyan. That's it, then. I'm going to find the other six Dragonballs...then I'll show that Zucca a thing or two!~~
Goten flies off in search of the rest of the Dragonballs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syrell looks to Rekka as the two walked. "Is this your first time here, too?", she asks.
"I just found out I was a Saiyan...never knew this place existed until then...", he replies.
"I knew about my Saiyan heritage all my life, and this is the first I've heard of this place...", she says.
The two warriors walked around the capitol city all day, looking at shops and watching all the Saiyans go about their daily lives. They had been finding out a lot about their people as a whole and having fun in the process. They noticed that it was starting to get late, and they headed back to the space-pod. Zucca wasn't there yet, so they looked for a place that the three of them could stay. They finally located a hotel that would accept payment after they spent the night. Since they had no Saiyan money, they figured they would have to skip out on the bill. Rekka flew back and left a note on the space-pod telling Zucca where they were. When he got back to the room, Syrell was waiting with an annoyed look on her face.
"They only gave us one bed!", she yells.
"It won't be that big of an inconvenience. I will sleep on the floor. The two of you can take the bed.", he says.
"Thanks.", she says. "I had a really fun time today, by the way..."
Rekka couldn't believe it...he had had a great time that day, and he was beginning to form feelings for Syrell. "I had a good time, too..."
The two looked into each others eyes, and moved slowly toward each other. Their lips locked, and they engaged in a long, passionate kiss.
When she came up for air, she spoke. "You don't have to sleep on the floor..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night, Zucca walks up to the space-pod and looks for the others. That's when her eyes catch the note. She grabs it and flies off toward the hotel. She picks up the key they left for her at the desk and goes up to the room. She opens the door and sees that the lights were out. She walks in and is surprised to see that there was only one bed, and even more surprised that Rekka and Syrell were in it together. Rekka was lying on his back while Syrell was leaning against him and had her arm lying across his body. Zucca looked around and saw their clothing scattered all over the room.
~~Those two look like they had a fun time without me...~~, Zucca thinks as a smile crosses her lips. She grabs a pillow and blanket from the closet, sets the alarm, and goes to sleep on the floor.
