Messing With Time: Interlude 1
Disclaimer-Ok, I own nothing so you can't sue me. All the characters or places or whatever belongs to either Akira Toriyama, Mercedes Lackey, or B-Chan. All I own is the idea of putting some of their ideas together, which means I own this story, ok? Ok.
A/N- As you can see I'm not dead! I'm sorry I took so long but I've spent most of the last month with one of the worst cases of writer's block possible. That, and I got sick right before V-Day, so I haven't had a very happy week.L The only good thing that's come out of it is that I got the weirdest idea for this and I decided to stick it in. Who says being sick can't be a good thing? ^_^() One more thing before I start the story, the interludes will deal with the people who are screwing around with the timelines, so now you get to see why I decided to call this Messing With Time! ^_^
A faintly glowing figure was watching a crystalline table intently. She cursed to herself, and stalked away from the table.
"Why can't they just get together and be happy? Why do they make this so difficult?!" The woman paced back and forth restlessly, muttering to herself.
A man walked in and watched her for a moment before speaking.
"Lady Bright, you know how mortals are. They can't help but make difficulties for themselves." (Ha! I'm the first one to make a Valdemar/DragonballZ crossover! Haha! ^_^)
"Yes, but these aren't even mortals of our world, much less your ordinary run-of-the-mill mortals. They call themselves Saiya-jins. They have considerable life-spans, and many abilities that our mortals would call true-magic in a heartbeat. You would think that if they are so different, they would not have so much trouble settling down."
He thought for a moment before replying.
"Then why don't you send some mortals from this world who are experienced in that sort of thing?"
Lady Bright turned and looked at him.
"Urtho you're brilliant! I'll send you, Skandranon, Zhaneel, Vanyel, and Stefen! You obviously, because you'll have to explain everything, the gryphons and the humans because they will set these two up so they have that child of prophecy that we need so much! And I'll send you all off to Vegetasei!"
Urtho looked at her and wondered if being a god was all that good for the mind.
"But Lady, why Vegetasei?"
"Because the Saiya-jins will be familiar with it and going to Earth wouldn't be a good idea. You'll have a hard enough time as it is convincing these two saiya-jins you mean no harm. If you have to deal with the whole pack of them, it won't get anything done!"
Urtho sighed and turned to go inform the rest of the group about the little trip they were going to be taking soon.
"If you wish Lady, even if I do think this is insanity."
Urtho walked down the hall and outside, where he knew he could count on Skan to either be flying or sunbathing. As usual, he was right.
"Skandranon! I have news from Lady Bright!"
Skan finished the current trick he was doing and flew down. 'Wonder what would have Urtho so worked up about?'
"What is it, Urtho?"
"Apparently the Lady has decided that we're needed to help set up the parents of the child of the prophecy."
"So? Where are the parents? I can easily convince them to get busy and have a child."
"That's the problem. The parents aren't of this world. They are from another world and the Lady is sending Vanyel, Stefen, Zhaneel, you, and me to a planet in their world as well as the two we are to set up."
Skan looked at him like he was crazy. 'Somehow I doubt that this is true. The Lady has never bothered with others' worlds before, why start now?' A bright flash was seen and the Lady appeared in front of them.
"Urtho has not gone insane Skandranon, I do want to send you and the rest to Vegetasei to put those pesky Saiya-jins together. Now get Zhaneel, Vanyel, and Stefen and I'll send you on your way."
Another flash of light, and the Lady was gone. 'Well now I see why they call her Lady Bright' Skan thought ironically while he flew in search of his mate, Zhaneel. He found her lounging around, talking with other gryphons.
"Zhaneel-kechara, we have a trip to go on."
"Where to and why?"
"The Lady has decided we must set up the parents of the child of prophecy. The only problem with this is, they are not of this world so we must go to theirs."
"Well of course they wouldn't be of this world. This is the Havens, after all."
Skan shook his head at her.
"You know what I meant. Now let's go!"
Zhaneel was a bit surprised at him. Skan didn't sound like his normal self. He acted as though he was looking forward to this. Then again, maybe he was. Zhaneel thought about this while she followed Skan to the place where Urtho had told him about it.
Skan was amused at what he saw when he landed. It wasn't often you saw a mage trussed up like a chicken and doing everything possible to get out of it in the Havens.
"I see you managed to bring Vanyel along, Urtho. Was he much difficulty?"
Urtho looked at Vanyel and laughed.
"Of course not! He still hasn't figured out that book of spells I gave him so he doesn't know just how easy it is to counteract the rope-trussing spell!"
Skan cocked his head and laughed, then walked over and slit the rope with a single talon.
"Be a little more resourceful Vanyel, and teach your life-bonded how to use a knife to do something besides eat!"
"Already did, but Stefen isn't here at the moment so he couldn't help."
"Oh. Well, you need to find him then so we can get started on this trip!"
Stefen walked over then.
"Find me? But I'm here already, so what's this I hear about a trip?"
"We have to go to another world and set up the parents of the child of prophecy. You up for it?"
"Uh…. sure. So when we leaving?"
"Now."
A black hole opens up underneath them. While they fell they feel all manner of things being done to their bodies. As one, they seem to hit the ground simultaneously. Skan noticed two more people falling from the sky just before he was unconscious, much like the rest of those on the ground at the moment.
Ok! Now some stuff is explained so I won't have ppl asking me "What the hell?!?!?" on the next chap! So what'd you think? Lemme know, I like knowing things! ^_^ Neways, if I dun get at least 10 reviews for this, I won't put the next chap up! Just kidding!
