"That's right monkeys, NEVER SAY DIE," Freiza cackled as he released the tremendous energy ball towards Vejita-sei.
A young boy watched from a window deep within the bowels of the spaceship that held him captive. He watched through a child's eyes as his planet slowly ripped into pieces and covered his ears as the screams of his people echoed as they disintegrated into dust. Closing his eyes as burning hot tears made their way down his trembling face, the little boy rocked himself, wondering if he would have the same fate.
Vejita jerked up in a cold sweat and looked around expecting Freiza to be staring down at him. Hearing only the soft humming of his space pod around him, he took a deep breath and leaned back in his makeshift pallet. Drawing a thin sheet back over him, he looked up through the clear glass that separated him from space, and contemplated how it would feel never to be afraid again. Closing his eyes, he tried going back to sleep until the buzz of the transmitter came alive.
"My prince, we are drawing near to earth, only half a day before we reach the planet," Nappa stated from the speaker.
Vejita nodded to himself as the information registered within him. "I understand, start getting prepared, when we land I wish to speak to Radditz, if he is still alive, first. Then we will destroy the planet."
"Yes sire."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quiet breathing filled the room, the soft rhythm lulling even the rowdiest creatures to sleep. Yet one laid awake on the bed unable to succumb to the peacefulness of slumber. Pulling the covers back, Bulma slipped out of the bed and padded softly over to the bay window in her bedroom. Lowering herself to a sitting position on the floor, careful not to disturb the other rooms occupant, she sighed and looked up into the night sky, knowing that Vejita and Nappa would be arriving any day now.
The images that had been haunting her were becoming more frequent of late. In her mind she saw races being killed, her friends and family brought to a torturing death at the hands of Vejita. Him calling them traitors for turning their back on their heritage and living a peaceful life. Trembling, she closed her eyes as she hugged herself trying to wipe the images out of her head, not hearing the soft sound of footsteps approaching her until she felt two strong arms wrap around her.
"Bulma you ok?" Radditz questioned softly, concerned for her as he rubbed her arms trying to calm her down. He knew something was amiss when he felt her rise out of bed moments earlier. It seemed as if her nightmares were taking hold of her two to three times a night now. He wished that he could soothe her worries away, from what he had seen from his brother and nephew, he was starting to believe they had a chance against their prince.
"Yes, I am fine. I just wish that these reoccurring dreams and images would stop haunting me. I feel so helpless in them, not something I like to feel that is for sure," she replied as she leaned into him and wrapped her tail around his pajama clad leg.
Radditz continued to gently rub his hands up and down her arms until he heard the soft rhythmic breathing fill the room denoting she had fallen back to sleep. A gentle smile played across his lips as he picked her up and walked back towards the bed. Carefully he laid the aqua haired saiya-jin down onto the bed and climbed in next to her.
"Don't worry little one, we will get through this. And when we do, I want to take you as my mate for eternity. I don't know how much longer I can wait for you Bulma, its slowly driving me out of my mind being this close to you," he whispered as he brushed her bangs off her face. He knew now why his brother was so smitten with his wife. Just being around this female, made him feel complete inside. Drawing the covers over them, Radditz wrapped his arms around her waist and drifted off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Radditz! Bulma! Wake up now!"
Bulma murmured something as she fell back asleep oblivious to Goku shaking her. "Go away, I don't want what you are selling..mmmhppff"
Goku would have laughed if they weren't in dire straights. Yanking back the covers he shook her harder. "BULMA! GET UP NOW! They have arrived!"
Both Bulma's and Radditz's eyes popped open at announcement, and both jerked straight up out of bed, scurrying for their clothes. "You are kidding right Goku?" she exclaimed as she hopped out of bed and grabbed her jeans off her dresser. She looked to Radditz as they both immediately felt the ki signatures of Vejita and Nappa.
"Good grief you two! What did you do to make you so exhausted not to notice their arrival?"
Radditz fumed and grabbed his younger brother by the shirt. "How dare you make assumptions like that, you know that we respect each other not to let our bodies take over our minds until we are ready to mate. Which we haven't decided on thank you."
Goku waved his hands in front of him as he felt his brothers temper start to flare up. "Sorry about that, I just assumed"
"Stop it you two, Goku I couldn't sleep last night and Radditz lulled me back to sleep. We were both exhausted, but this is not the time to discuss this," she scolded as she pulled her jeans up and reached for her katana. "Radditz, get a shirt on and let's go. I don't want to give them a chance to kill anyone," she ordered tossing him a white tank top to match his jeans.
Catching the article of clothing, he walked into the bathroom to change for sake of modesty leaving the Bulma and Goku to sort out their plan of action.
"Bulma are you an him really an item?" Goku asked, as he walked over to the window as she took off her nightshirt and put a tee shirt on. It had been several months since he had returned back from the dead, with her and Radditz had been together the entire time.
"Yes, I do love him a lot, we are taking our time that's all," she mumbled, as she grabbed her protection vest off a near by chair. Slipping the vest on and tying the laces, she decided it would be wise to change the subject. "When did they arrive?"
Goku turned back around to face her with a worried expression on his face. "About half an hour ago, not long enough to start chaos. Chichi is on her way here now, her father is watching Gohan until we can find out how strong they are and if they mean this planet harm."
"I assure you Vejita means everyone harm, he is a heartless murderer just like I was brother," Radditz answered as he came out of the bathroom. His eyes caught Bulma's and they smiled ruefully at each other.
Bulma grinned from ear to ear as the promise of battle inticed her senses. "Ready to go?"
"You bet."

Entering in a few commands into the control panel of his space pod, the top dissolved allowing the rouge prince to climb out and observe his surroundings. Looking around, he rose his eyebrow in disgust at the peacefulness that radiated from this planet. "So this is were they decided to stay? Not fitting for a saiya-jin race, in my opinion," he spat to Nappa, taking in the spectrum of color that graced the landscape.
"I agree sire, warriors are not meant to live on such a weak planet. What do you suggest we do first sir?"
Vejita looked up quickly as he felt a power heading in their direction. Out of curiosity he levitated up only to collide with what felt like a brick wall. "What the hell was that?" he roared as he shook his head quickly trying to gather his bearings. As his eyesight cleared he saw the terrified face of Chichi backing quickly away from him.
The corner of Vejita's mouth lifted in a smile as he watched her backpedal away from him. "Nappa, lets play catch the female first," he maliciously laughed as Chichi took off as fast as she could.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Opening the balcony window, Radditz looked back to signal it was time to go. Upon looking at this brother, he saw that Goku was clutching his chest as if his heart was giving him problems. Bulma noticed the same thing and placed her hand on her friend's shoulder wondering if he was ok.
"Goku something the matter?"
Goku winced as he looked up. "Its Chichi, something is terribly wrong. She is panicking, I think they found her."
