Part2; The chaos fortress
chaper1
The first day of the journey everybody mostly spent their time in their own rooms. Nafta had put Cheva in his bubble. Nafta was in the control room. Sometimes Bulma came to check things, or to help him.
The second day everybody was getting bored. Trunks did some mind training. Vegeta wondered what Trunks was doing, but Trunks didn't say.
The third day something happened. The sensors detected a ship. Everybody looked out the window, but saw nothing. "The sensors must be broken," growled Vegeta. "I don't think so. There is something out there, I can feel it." "What is it? An invisible enemy?" "A ship. Wait I have to change course or we are going to crash." "Crash? There's nothing there!" Vegeta pushed some buttons so the ship would maintain course. "Hey, keep your hands off!" The ship hit something, and penetrated it. Now, they were inside it. Nafta sighed. "Great now we are inside." Bulma smiled. This was VERY familiar. "Lt me handle this guys." She stepped out the ship. Vegeta ran after her. "Where are you going?" "I'm going to talk to the people on this ship." "What? Thy could be hostile!" "No they aren't." Some small people, some armed with guns appeared. "Not hostile, huh?" Bulma didn't listen to Vegeta. "Hey, you guys, don't point your guns at me. We have met before remember?" One of the people smiled. "Wait a sec! You were the lady who came here with a bug like ship, accompanied by a boy and a short bald guy?" "Yes, I am." Everybody lowered his/her weapons. "Great. I didn't think we would meet again! But here you are. Welcome here." Vegeta was surprised. "Do you know them?" "Met them on my journey to Namek." Some more people came to look. Many of them recognized Bulma. "Hey, you can stay here for a while if you want too. "Sorry we have to go quickly. Save the universe again." Everybody smiled. "Than, good luck on your journey."
After a lot of goodbyes they could resume their journey.
Goku got VERY bored so he walked into the control room. He saw a cat fly the ship. He gasped at it. The cat noticed him. "Hello. What do you think about my cat form?" "Oh, it's you? I didn't know. But why are you a cat?" "Oh, just for fun. In this way I can train my transformations." "I see. How is it to be a cat?" "Not bad. Want to be one?" "Huh?" A few seconds later Goku was a cat. "What did you do?!" "Changed you into a cat. Like it?" Goku laughed. "It isn't so bad. But I can't get used to walking on four legs." Goku stumbled. Trunks came in. "What the?" "Hi Trunks." Nafta and Goku said at the same time. "You changed into cats?" "Yep." "Want to change into one too?" And a moment later Trunks was a cat too. They all ad some fun trying to walk around, jump, and climb. Vegeta came in to se what was going on. "Is this a circus?!" Trunks tried to hide. Vegeta noticed him anyway. "Change back to normal! Wasn't that time as a dragon worse enough?!" "I'm just doing this for fun. It doesn't harm!" "Just do as I say." Nafta walked calmly to Vegeta. "Let him have some fun. What's wrong about it?" "I am his father keep that in mind!" "Yes. But do you think I would harm my nephew?" Vegeta was going to explode. He wanted to yell something, but couldn't find the right words. He grabbed Trunks tail and dragged him out the control room.
Nafta changed himself and Goku back to normal.
Vegeta dragged Trunks still as a cat into his room. Bulma looked at them. "What are you doing with that cat, Vegeta?" "That's what that freak did to our son!" "It was just a game! And you didn't give him a chance to turn me back to normal!" Vegeta put Trunks on his bed. "If you like it so much as a cat, than stay a cat for a few days. "Vegeta you are acting childish again." Bulma picked up Trunks and walked out the room, to the control room. "Hey, can you change Trunks back to normal?" She put Trunks on the ground. Nafta changed Trunks back to normal. Trunks sighed with relief.
The fourth day something knocked on the door of the space ship. Bulma was surprised. "What was that?" Nafta opened a special space door. A raven as big as a dog flew in, carrying a cat on its back. "Hello Edea." "Well, well, Nafta. What brings you to this part of the universe?" The cat replied. "Long story. But I am going to the chaos fortress now." "What? What are you going to do there?" "Get the sword and the armor." "You are making a joke, I suppose?" "No, I'm not." "Nafta, listen. Many of us some of them were great people, tried to get in there. No one survived. The first one said no one should try to get in there. So why do you try? What do you want? Fame?" "No. Chandor has awoken." The cat grinned. "I think you should go to a doctor. That guy is slain already." "No. Now go, Edea. I can look after myself." Edea sighed and ordered her dragon to fly away. "I hope you know what you are doing." "Yes I do."
Goku, who had heard the conversation too looked at the cat on the raven, flying away in space. "A friend of you?" "No, not really. She's wise, and can offer good help sometimes. Sedus likes her for that. But she's too nosy."
Nafta changed the course of the ship. "I'm going to land at a space station. Get some supplies." Soon something that looked like a gigantic cube appeared. Nafta flew his ship into it.
After ten minutes Nafta managed to get his ship on a landing platform. Trunks and Goten gazed out a window. They were on a gigantic parking place. All kinds of ships stood there, and all kinds of aliens were walking there. Nafta opened the door. "You can try to enjoy yourselves here. B careful, be back in three hours."
Everybody looked curious around them, accept Vegeta and Nafta, who were used to this.
Nafta went to a bar. It was quiet a filthy place, and the weirdest kind of people were here. Nafta sighed. He had to find Seditiosus, a merchant. Mostly, he was in places like this. Nope, he wasn't here.
Vegeta walked around and sighed. H was thinking for a way to spend three hours in this place. H saw Goku, walking around, looking nervously. "Ah, Vegeta, I'm happy to see you. I lost my way here and I need to go back to the ship for the toilet." Vegeta sighed. "There's a toilet here, nearer. Keep walking down there, second left." "Thanks. You know the way here?" "Yes, have been here several times." "Huh?" "Forgot I once traveled around in space?" "Oh yeah." "Goku ran to the toilets.
After three bars Nafta had found Seditiosus. He was just talking to another merchant. Probably trying to sell something. The other man walked away with an angry expression on his face. Seditiosus wanted to go after him, but Nafta stopped him. "Hello Seditiosus, how are you doing?" "You want to have something? Otherwise, stop wasting my time!" Nafta gave him a list. "This is what I need." Seditiosus looked at it. "It will be hard to get. May take quiet a time." "You always say that. I bet you have these things with you." Seditiosus sighed. "All right, all right. Sit down and let me see what you've got."
In the meantime Vegeta walked right into the same bar. He didn't notice Nafta. Vegeta walked right to the barman. "A exploding sun please. He always drank that during his time at Furiza. The barman kept looking at him. "What is it!" "I know you, but it must have been a while ago. Lt me think." "Can you think anyway?" "Mm, can't miss it. Still grumpy, still looking the same. Vegeta!" Vegeta growled. He thought that after all these years of absence nobody would recognize him. Another alien looked up. "Heeeeee, and eve'ybody thought he was dead! Hello!" Vegeta growled and wanted to walk away. The alien grabbed his arm. "Don't walk away, Vegeta. Stay he'e for a while, good ol' pal!"
Nafta noticed Vegeta and sighed. Seditiosus was surprised. "Hey, that guy..." "I know we're family. Please, I don't have time for this."
The alien dragged Vegeta to a table and dropped him on a chair. Vegeta grumbled again. "Hey, a'e ya all alone he'e? Whe'e is Nappa?" "He's dead." "Awww, I'm so'y." "I killed him." "Eh'...never mind. What a'e ya doing lately?" Vegeta mumbled something. He wanted to go away. "Hey, Vegeta, a'e ya still there?" "No."
Another alien walked to them. "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in. Haven't seen you in years. Not surprising, last time here I really bated you up. I still enjoy it when I star at you little pathetic weakling." Vegeta stared at him with a very angry look. "Krezip. You are here too? Good, now I can make YOU pay." Krezip roared with laughter. "You...beat...me? Poor little monkey, you've been drinking too much?" "No. My power increased very much, you know." "Oh, mine also increased. Let's get over with it?" Vegeta sniffed. "Why would I waste my time? Even a child can beat you." Krezip laughed again. "I would like to see such a child." Vegeta grinned. Why not? "Follow me." Vegeta walked out the bar, Krezip and the other alien following him. Nafta was worried. He hoped Vegeta wouldn't cause too much trouble. On the other hand, thing like that happened every day here.
Vegeta concentrated on Trunks Ki. He found him. "Look, Krezip, that purple-haired boy." Krezip grinned. "I'll beat the hell out of him." He walked to Trunks.
"Hey you little rat. Me, the great Krezip, am going to crush you." "What? Why?" Krezip didn't answer and attacked. Trunks easily blocked it. He turned super-Saiyan and kicked Krezip. Krezip yelled and cursed. Trunks grabbed Krezip's arm and threw him away. Everybody gasped at him.
Krezip landed right before Vegeta's feet. "I won the bet, Krezip. Now I'm going to finish the job." He turned SSJ2. "Please, don't do anything to me! I was just joking! Please!" Vegeta picked him up and threw him away. The other alien gasped at him and clapped. "Ve'y good! How did ya do that? And the boy, who's that?" "Training. And I am the prince of Saiyans, destined to be the strongest of the universe."
Trunks walked over to his father. "Who was that guy?" "Oh, just an old 'friend'." "Hey, how did ya two do that? That powe' inc'ease? That hair? Are ya family?" "Yes." "Awww, g'eat, family! And I thought Fu'iza killed eve'ything ya got!" "Furiza was dead before he was born!" "Oh yeah, fo'got. But hey, in that case....is that you' son?" Trunks nodded. "Awwww, how g'eat! That explains whe'e you have been all those years, Vegeta! Showing you' son some pa'ts of the unive'se now?" Vegeta sighed. He wished that was true. "Hey, whe'e is your tail? All Saiyans got a tail, 'ight? And you' boy?" "Cut off. Would you shut up now?!" The alien fell silent.
In the meanwhile Krezip got up. He was very angry, but h didn't try to attack Vegeta and that boy again. He needed a trick. Krezip walked back to his ship and was thinking. Something attracted his attention. A woman without a power level (already rare here). She was calling for Vegeta. Did she know him? A girlfriend? Krezip remembered the boy. He looked like Vegeta. It must have been his kid. And if h had a kid he had to have a woman. And that had to be her. Krezip grinned. He had a plan.
Bulma was shouting for Vegeta when somebody picked her up and coved her mouth. "You search for Vegeta? I'll ring you to him." Bulma struggled but was no match for Krezip.
While Krezip was carrying Bulma over his shoulder looking for Vegeta, somebody else noticed him. Goku and Goten. Goku tapped on Krezip's shoulder. "What are you doing? Let he go!" "Mind your own business." "No. Let hr go, or I'll have to force you." Krezip growled but didn't let her go. Goku became SSJ. So did Goten. "Eh, I was just making a joke. Here." He dropped Bulma in his arms and ram away, thinking about retirement. He didn't watch out and ran into Piccolo. His scouter, who couldn't have more high power levels, exploded. Krezip fainted.
"Good riddance of him." Bulma was still trembling. "I want to get out of here! I hop Nafta is ready soon!" Vegeta who had felt Goku's and Goten's power levels came running to them. H saw Goku holding Bulma. "KAKAROTT! WHAT TH HELL A YOU DOING!" "Ehr....Hello Vegeta." He put Bulma on the ground. "A monster attacked her, you know." If looks could kill, Goku would e VERY dead now.
Nafta did get what he wanted. He had water, food, fuel, and energy cells for his replicator. They could resume their voyage. It wouldn't b difficult to find the rest he just had to concentrate on their ki. They were all close. He had gathered them in five minutes. Bulma still had a frigtend expression on her face. "Finally we can go!" "What did happen?" "A fight with an alien." Vegeta replied. Nafta sighed.
Soon they could depart. Everybody was happy to go.
The next day everybody saw there were less stars around. Later that day, there was no more star around them. Nothing. Complete emptiness.
That night, they could se one large object floating in this emptiness. When they came closer it appeared to b a gigantic pyramid, floating.
"The chaos fortress," Nafta whispered. The rest said nothing, but gazed at it.
There was a small opening at the bottom. Nafta flew his ship in it. There was a landing platform. Everybody stepped out and looked around. Nafta smiled. "This is the place. Let's hope faith is lenient to us. Let's find the sword & armor!" Everybody nodded.
