Your here.
Where is here?
Were we brought you.
Vegeta-sei?
If you wish to call it that.
Who are you? How do you know me? What do you want with me?
I can only answer the last one.
Then answer.
You are here to save our people of course.
What if I don't want to?
That is too bad.
What if I can't?
You can.
How do you know?
I believe in you.
Who are you?
...
The voice died away and the girl was left crying in her room. A vision of her in some run down place helping someone flashed across her mind and quickly disapeered. She looked up and sighed.
~*~*~*~
We had been living here on Vegeta-sei for almost a month now. I had been marking the days and since I wasn't sure how many days we had spent on the ship, I just started from the day we left earth. We had been going to this school learning Saiyango. It isn't that hard to learn really. It is a lot like German in a way. Now I am so glad I took that German class instead of Spanish. I hadn't seen any of Bardock or his crew around at all during that time. Nor did I understand why we were here. I would often try to find out, but never once would I get an answer. I was getting rather annoyed with the King of Vegeta-sei. That was until one day...
I was sitting in my room practicing some more advanced stuff in their language when a knocking sound came from my door. I wanted to ignore it and get done learning this, but knowing it was probably something important I got up and answered it. It was the King himself. Normally, he wouldn't come and see me directly, he would send someone to get me, so I was very surprised. I moved aside and let him in. "What can I do for you today," I asked in Saiyango.
"I have come to tell you why you are here." My eyebrows rose in intrest. He took a seat on my office chair as I sat down on the bed. My room was simple and nice all at the same time. It was all decorated in blue. I had my bed against the wall with the window and my desk was against the opposite wall. There was a small dresser and a large closet which were both mostly filled with sets of armor or casual clothes. The thing I loved most in my room was the computer. There was an internet like thing so I could chat with my friends whenever I wanted. Our rooms were rather far away from each other and we didn't get to see each other often. I tried often to go and sit with them, but sometimes that wasn't possible. They kept telling me how I was kept seperate from them and stuff, but that had been apparent since the beginning. "We have a prophecy here." I picked up my head and looked over to him. "A prophecy about a girl and her crew and peace. We Saiya-jins have always loved to fight and destroy things, but that is becoming hard when people devolope new technologies and new powers. The prophecy is long and wordy so I will give you the basics. A girl will come with her friends and bring the land into a new era. An era of prosperity and peace. She will end all civil wars and unite the people. Her powers, and her friend's, are undescribable. Each has intense pshycic abilities that cannot be matched no matter how much a person trains. She will be marked with a square on the face. A square resembles unity and equality. Her friends are like body gaurds and advisors because not one person can do it alone. She though has natural leadership qualities and will lead them through the process. And that is about it." I nodded my head.
"And you think I am her?"
"We know it."
"Oh?"
"Do you remember those tests that we did on you when you first got here?"
"Of course."
"Well they were tests of the brain and to see how it interacted with dreams, thoughts and surroundings. You have the strongest power beyond everyone else."
"And what about Tom, Nichol and Lex?"
"They too are stronger than anyone else, but your's is the strongest, plus that." He pointed to my birthmark again.
"This is a mistake! There are billions of people in the galaxy! There is no way it is me you are looking for." He only nodded and stood up.
"Well you are her and it isn't like you have anywhere to go." I sighed. He was right that I didn't have anywhere to go, but I wasn't to sure about me being part of some prophecy. "Feel free to go out into the markets. I think you have been in this palace enough. Just make sure you take an escort."
"Thanks."
"No problem. Now if you will excuse me, I have a lot of work to do." I nodded and opened the door letting him out and letting myself out. I had promised myself to go out sometime and see the city and I didn't have anything better to do right now. I didn't even bother to get an escort, until I was stopped at the door. Nappa had been passing by when I was about to walk out alone.
"And where do you think you are going?"
"Out."
"Alone?" I didn't bother to say anything. "I don't think the king will like that very much. Allow me to escort you." I rolled my eyes and kept moving as he followed me out the door. We walked to the gate silently. I knew the palace grounds and how to get to the landing pad, but that was it. "So, where are we going?" There were three choices. I could go forward, left, or right. To the left was the landing pads. I wasn't sure what the other two took me to.
"Which one is into town?"
"Forward. To the right is the barracks and training ground for eliets." I nodded and started forward. "Would you like to take a carriage?"
"No. We shall walk."
"As you wish." We did walk, the entire mile. It wasn't that long really. If I had wanted to I could have run it and been there in only a few minutes, but I wanted to enjoy my walk, even though there wasn't much scenery. It only took fifteen minutes walking anyway, so it wasn't really all that long. Nappa followed me the whole way. I really hated having an escort.
The market was a small section in the city filled with shops bars and clubs. I was walking as quickly as I could trying to lose Nappa in the crowds. If I ran, he would be able to find me by people yelling and such. I just walked as fast as possible. I decided that if I stayed on the street he would more than likely find me so I stepped right into the next door. I watched as he quickly passed by looking for me, but not really looking at where I was. Sighing I turned around and looked at where I had entered. It was a cheap bar that was falling apart. The scent in the air was a mix of alcohol and vomit. I wringed my nose in disgust and took a seat on a stool. Nappa would never find me in here. The bar tender came over. He wasn't wearing armor like everyone else, but more of a casual type of clothing. "What can I get ya sweety?"
"First, never call me sweety." I had learned to be assertive with Saiya-jins. "Second, you can get me a glass of water."
"We don't serve water here."
"She will have a beer." I turned around annoyed that someone was ordering for me. It was Bardock, much to my surprise. "What are you doing in a place like this?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I asked first."
"Hiding out."
"Oh?"
"Hiding from my escort. Now you."
"I am always here when I am not training."
"Always?"
"Pretty much." He took a seat next to me as the bartender handed me a bottle. I had never taken a drink in my life and I was pretty sure I wasn't ready to start. So I just kept twirling the bottle in my fingers, never taking it off the table. "So, what is palace life like?"
"Why am I here?" I asked ignoring his question.
"They haven't told you yet?"
"Oh the stupid prophecy. Like anyone could actually believe in something like that."
"Actually, everyone on this planet does."
"Sorry."
"For what?"
"Cause I don't." He laughed. "What's so funny?"
"It is just ironic that the person from the prophecy doesn't believe in it."
"I don't see the humor in it," I stated dryly. He just laughed and looked down to my hands.
"Beer is ment to drink, not twirl."
"I don't drink."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! How old are you?!"
"Fifteen."
"Oh my gosh! I started when I was thirteen and I am seventeen now."
"It is really bad for your liver, you know."
"My what?"
"Your liver." I put my finger on his chest showing him the approximate location. "Your liver cleans out what you eat basically ya see. And alcohol is poisinous to it so it slowly destroies it. And the same thing with your brain."
"How do you know so much?"
"I studied it in school."
"You were learning to be a doctor?"
"Nope. We have to study all sorts of things in school. Health, music, art, English, history, math, science, even business."
"What's English? And how can you fit so much into your brain?"
"English is my native tounge. And I only use ten precent of my brain."
"Ten precent?" Do these Saiya-jins know nothing?! I sighed and took a pen out of my pocket and drew a circle on a napkin. I then diveded it into one hundred equal peices. After that I shaded in ten.
"Pretend this is your brain. Ten precent of it equals these then squares. Humans, what I am, only use ten precent of their brain."
"Oh." I nodded and handed him the bottle.
"You can have it. I am not the drinking type." He just shrugged and opened it chugging most of it down and handing it to me.
"Take a sip. I bet you will like it." I rolled my eyes and took the bottle from his hands. I slowly put the opening to my lips and tilted the bottle just so enough came out for me to guess if I would like it or not. Swallowing the brown liquid, I decided it was terrible. He just laughed and finished the rest off. "I guess you didn't."
"Not really." He just smiled and got up. "My name is Kim."
"Bardock. Listen, I gotta get going, but I will see ya around maybe. Me and my friends are going to be working in the palace starting next week, so I will see ya then! Bye." He turned around and started walking out.
"See ya," I replied. I turned back to the counter and looked down at the empty bottle in my hands. As I looked at it and thought of him my face got a little warmer and I stood up ready to leave.
Nappa was running up and down the street calling my name when I stepped outside. I sighed and waved to him. "Kim! Where on Vegeta have you been?!"
"Getting a drink." I pointed to a different bar. If that was the one Bardock hung out in, I didn't want anyone else to know. Nappa nodded and ran over to where I was.
"I believe it is best if we get back to the palace now." I nodded and started walking down the road that lead to its gates.
