Chapter 14
"Ok, this is the button for shoccoli, and this is the one for broccoli. On the count of three, one...two...three...GO!" Tara and Ranmata started shoving at their food at an alarming rate. After the first plate was finished they sat up for air.
"Not that bad, could use a little salt," Tara commented as she got a second helping.
"Awful," Ranmata shuddered. "How can you eat this!?"
"I don't," Tara smiled as she started to inhale her food again.

Vegeta landed outside of the cave where Trunks was held. He looked slowly around. Then as if satisfied he sat on a rock and shut his eyes.
Trunks floated back a few feet from the roof and powered a small chi blast in his hand. Experimentally he threw it at the small barrier over the roof. It hit the wall and bounced back at Trunks.
"Ahh!" he ducked out of the way so the blast headed for the ground. He whipped his head around and expected to see the explosion. Instead the blue ball of energy bounced off the ground and hit a wall. It bounced again and began to shoot all over the small cave.
"This can't be good," Trunks quickly dodged it as it sped by. "Defiantly not good! Ahhh!" He was too slow and it hit his back knocking him to the ground. Forgetting where he was he sat up and found himself looking into the empty eye of his mother. "AHHHHHH!!!! Bad idea!"

"Well little Gohan," Tranculus grinned wickedly. "You're next."
Gohan convinced Piccolo to make a wide circle around Mr.Shuu until they were out of eyesight. Breathing a sigh of relief Gohan continued along happy for the minute and forgot to check the sky. Piccolo muttered something about a 'weakling warrior who can't even face a teacher' when it happened.
Tranculus dropped on Gohan's neck knocking him out instantly. Then he grinned at the shocked Namek.
"No you will not die yet," Tranculus reassured him. "But I have a message. Your Prince is property of the Evil Overlord, the monkeys are soon to be dead. A group more powerful then you will land in two months. Train and become strong but you will stand no chance against even the first warrior. Prepare to die."
Then he left Piccolo standing in the street with the crowd looking at him frightened. He dragged Gohan after him and disappeared out of sight.

"Ok Trunks you will find a way out of this!" Trunks talked to himself as he tried to find a weak point in the wall. "You will! Wait a minute, am I talking to myself? Ok that was a pretty dumb question. A better one would be am I listening? Ok that wasn't that great, I'll try again."
Suddenly the rock gave way under his hands. Trunks jumped back in surprise before starting to cheer. He stopped when he saw a dark outline of a person.
Vegeta walking in and stood right in front of Trunks staring straight ahead.
"Dad!" Trunks grinned. "How did you find me? Dad?"
"He's not your dad anymore," Tranculus appeared behind Vegeta. "He is the puppet of the Lord Nabukia."
"What?" Trunks asked. "But how? Dad would never-"
"Not by his will," Tranculus grinned evilly. "Since you won't be alive much longer I'll tell you. My master Nabukia is the expert on all body functions. Once you meet him, if you do you'll know what I mean. Vegeta is now the proud owner of a nerve stimulator. Injected on the Planet Glaive by none other then your 'friend' Zergon. It blocks out his individuality, that part that IS Vegeta."
"Zergon?" Trunks said breathlessly. "No, but he was so innocent..."
"You'd be surprised what they do for their masters," Tranculus chuckled. "Now, enough talking, we have to move you two to another cell. Vegeta."
The Saiyan prince walked coldly over to his son and delivered a blow to the side of his neck knocking him out.

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Zergon moped in a bush in one of the various gardens at Capsule Corp. "It wasn't supposed to be like this." He remembered the order that had been given to him.

"Slave 7837593," the cold voice echoed in his head. He was on his home planet with the other different coloured slaves in the underground barracks that they lived in. he stood and walked to the door. A brown Glavier shoved his back with his foot and laughed as if this was so hysterical. Zergon ignored him and kept walking to the place where he had been summoned.
"Yes Master?" Zergon dropped to his knees and his head touched the floor. The oversized fat fuzzball looked at him.
"S7837593, a Saiyan will be landing soon. Give him this."
Zergon accepted the small syringe and hid it under his heavy coat of fur. "Yes Master, your wish in my command."
*~*~*~
"How could I?" he sobbed. "Sir Veggie was my only friend!"

Goten and Uubu went full speed to Capsule Corp. Goten sighed with relief as the buildings came into view.
"There they are!" he shouted back to Uubu. Landing outside the front door Goten barged in. "Trunks? Mom? We're here!"
"Goten?" Bra rushed out to meet them. "You guys made it back!"
"Yea," Goten grinned. "Where's mom and Trunks?"
"Well..." her voice trailed off sadly. "That's a long story."
"Bra-" Goten started when Uubu interrupted him.
"Piccolo is here."
Goten quickly turned around to greet his brother and the Namek. But all he saw was a very shaken up Piccolo. Pan suddenly burst into the room out of breath.
"Hi, what did I miss?"
