Chapter 1
6 months later Planet Earth
An explosion interrupted the peace and quiet of the field.
"Ha! You missed me Trunks! C'mon! You can do better than that!" Goten summer-salted out of the way of another ki blast. As he landed on his feet, he looked at where Trunks had been. Then spun around expecting to find Trunks behind him. Goten growled when he didn't see him. Suddenly he was knocked forward as Trunks kneed him in the back.
"I got you that time 'Ten!" Trunks yelled triumphantly.
"Yeah, good one." Goten got up, rubbing his
back. "That one kinda hurt. But I'll get you for that I swear!"
Goten lunged at Trunks and the two started exchanging punches and kicks.
"Goten's doing pretty good, don't'cha think
Vegeta?" a man on the side of the field asked his companion.
Vegeta just grunted.
::Trunks is getting slow…must increase his training:: Vegeta thought.
Both young men increased to Super Saiya-jin as they dropped back into a fighting stance.
"Heh heh, you're getting good, Goten. But not good enough!" Trunks disappeared and reappeared behind Goten. He figured Goten would expect him to pull the same trick he had earlier. Goten however, spun and kicked Trunks hard in the stomach. Trunks looked surprised for an instant, then his eyes narrowed.
"I'll get you for that, 'Ten…" He powered up to Super Saiya-jin 2 and lunged for Goten. Goten yelped and flew backwards, blocking as many of the punches as he could.
"Whoa! Trunks, I didn't mean to kick you that hard! I thought you'd block it!" More and more of Trunk's punches and kicks were landing, as Goten began to get tired.
"C'mon Goten! Power up to Super Saiya-jin 2!" his father, Goku, yelled.
"Heh, It won't do him any good, Kakarot. Trunks will win this match." Vegeta said, smirking slightly.
Trunks was slowly and methodically driving Goten into a corner. He was pushing him closer and closer to several large mountains. Goku knew that as soon as his son realized he was cornered, he would power up.
"Hey Goten, watch where he's pushing you! He's trying to corner you with those mountains!" Goku yelled to his son.
Vegeta rolled his eyes and muttered, "Kakarot, if your pathetic son doesn't realize that on his own, then he deserves what he gets."
::Stupid boy, you're making a mistake…Kakarot's brat will not tolerate being cornered.:: Vegeta shook his head over his son's foolishness.
Finally Goten began powering up. He flared Super Saiya-jin 2 and charged Trunks.
"I've got you now, oh purple haired one!" Goten bellowed as he drove Trunks back, getting out of the corner.
The two kept exchanging punches and kicks until finally both collapsed onto the ground. They both dropped out of Super Saiya-jin, and lay there gasping for breath.
"Looks like they're done for the day," Goku said as he started walking towards the boys. "They did pretty good!"
Vegeta started to follow, but then stopped, and looked at the sky. He frowned. "Kakarot, do you hear that?" he asked.
"Hear what, Vegeta?" Goku looked at Vegeta oddly, noticing how tense he was. He then looked into the sky.
Vegeta shuddered and then shook his head. "Never mind," he muttered as he started walking again, "it was nothing."
::It sounded like a woman was talking.:: Vegeta thought. ::I heard her say, 'I've almost found you.' yet Kakarot heard nothing. And his hearing is as good as mine. And her voice sounded so familiar, yet I've never heard it before. It makes no sense!::
He looked at Trunks and noticed that he was shouting and pointing to the sky. The others looked up and saw something falling down towards them at a fairly high rate of speed. Both boys jumped to their feet and joined their fathers. A large, round, space pod landed 20 feet from them. Vegeta let out a growl and tensed back up. Goku's eyes widened.
"Hey! Isn't that a Saiya-jin Space Pod??" He asked Vegeta.
Vegeta merely nodded. As they watched, the hatch popped open, and a female stepped out. She looked at the four standing before her.
::Hmm…3 Saiya-jins, and a human boy. Interesting that they would associate with that human:: She stepped towards them.
Trunks lifted his hand, and shook his finger at her. "Ah ah ahh…don't come any closer until you tell us who you are, and what you want." He said.
She looked shocked for a moment, then her eyes narrowed.
::How dare that pathetic human speak to me like that! I'll show him!:: She disappeared from their sight.
Trunks growled and got into a fighting stance. He was exhausted after his sparring match with Goten, but felt he could still take her out.
He was suddenly flung across the field. He slammed into the space pod, then was kicked backwards. He sailed over the others and landed face first in the dirt. He groaned and rolled onto his back. He still couldn't see her, but he sensed that she was close by. As he started to get to his feet, he was shoved back down to his knees. A hand on his throat held him there, with his face looking up.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you to kneel in the presence of Royalty, boy? You pathetic human, you actually think you can stand up to a Saiya-jin Princess?"
Trunks' eyes bulged out for 2 reasons. One was the obvious, lack of air. The other, because of what she said. ::Saiya-jin Princess?? How could that be? Dad and Goku are the only 2 full-blooded Saiya-jin's left. Hm…doesn't matter anyway. If none of those three feel like saving my ass, I won't be around to find out…:: Trunks could feel himself slipping into unconsciousness as he went longer and longer without air.
Those other three were staring at her, mouths slightly opened. But all for different reasons.
::Wow! She took out Trunks with 2 kicks! And I didn't even see her move! She's pretty good!:: Thought Goku.
::Wow! She's really cute!:: Goten thought as he looked her up and down. She was wearing white boots, like the kind Vegeta always wore. Her long, slender legs were bare, all the way to the thighs. She had on a black, wrap around skirt that covered from her thighs to her slim waist. Her tail was curled around her waist, the tip curling and uncurling slowly. She also wore a black halter-top that did little to hide anything and white gloves. Her hair flared upwards in the usual Saiya-jin style. ::Oh man…I'm gonna get engaged soon, I shouldn't be looking at her like that:: he thought as a blush slowly crept over his face.
::Saiya-jin Princess?!? How is that possible! I had no sisters, and no daughters. How can she claim to be a Princess? She is obviously Saiya-jin but…Oh shit! Trunks!:: Vegeta suddenly realized that his son could not breath.
"That's enough! Let him go now!" Vegeta yelled, his eyes flashing as he stepped towards them.
"What's he to you? He's just a pathetic human. My computer told me this planet is full of them. Go find another pet to play with." Tynan tightened her grip and glared at the Saiya-jin walking towards her.
::Who does he think he is? I'll show him not to talk to Royalty that way!:: She savagely kicked Trunks in the chest, smiling with satisfaction as she heard a rib or two break.
Vegeta growled and began powering up.
"That boy's name is Trunks. Trunks Vegeta Briefs." he deliberately stressed the word 'Vegeta'. "And he's not a "pathetic human," he's my son. And the rightful Prince of all Saiya-jins. Now you've got 1 chance to let him go, before I blast you from the face of this planet, and send you straight to hell!!" Vegeta flared Super Saiya-jin and began forming a small ki blast in his hand.
Her whole attitude changed. She dropped Trunks and took a step back.
"Are you Prince Vegeta?" she asked. Her voice wavered ever so slightly with an emotion that Vegeta couldn't place.
Vegeta nodded. He powered down and let the ki blast dissipate now that she had let go of his son.
The girl dropped to one knee and bowed her head.
"Forgive me, my Prince, for I did not recognize you. And the boy doesn't look Saiya-jin. I had no way of knowing he was yours. Kill me if you wish, but first, there is something I would like to tell you." She raised her eyes to look at him.
Vegeta growled. "Stand up! No one is going to be killed. Brat!" he called over his shoulder. "Grab Trunks and take him back to Capsule Corporation. But don't let Bulma see you. Just put him in his room. Go in through the balcony."
Goten nodded and went to pick up Trunks. He gave the girl a wary look, grabbed Trunks, and took off towards Capsule Corporation.
Once he was gone, Vegeta turned back towards the girl. "Explain yourself. How do you come to call yourself a Princess?"
Vegeta crossed his arms over his chest and glared at her.
"My name is Tynan. I was raised on a planet called Kyuukazan. When my space pod landed, it apparently landed near a volcano that was getting ready to blow. Some of the locals rescued me, but the pod was destroyed. When I was 10, one of my parents gave me a small computer. She said she had pulled it from the pod, because it looked important. Later that night, I activated it, and found out all about my past. I learned about my birth, my parents, my planet, and my history. I learned that I had been giving a special mission. However, since I had no transportation off the planet, I was unable to accomplish it. Then one day, almost 3 years ago, a traveler showed up for some supplies. I hitched a ride with him to a planet the computer had said was used as a stop for Saiya-jins. It was deserted, but I found a space pod that I was able to fix up, and finally I began my mission." She paused to gauge the reaction from Vegeta. He looked annoyed.
"What a lovely story." he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "It does not, however, answer my question. Why do you call yourself a Princess?" he asked again.
"Because, father, I am your daughter. And I am the rightful Princess of all Saiya-jins." She threw his own words back at him.
Vegeta's eyes widened and he shook his head. "That's…not possible! How could it be true? I have no other children! YOU LIE!" Vegeta was screaming by the time he was done. He powered up, and flung a large ki blast directly at Tynan.
