Chapter 17
In the canteen now hung a map with the known universe scattered with red dots. All were target bases and some picked them out using darts. A score sheet was kept as well, each team kept it's score by plundered bases. When a rival had more scores, the avenging group sometimes was weeks away before returning, and the game started all over again. Even Gokou was with them on the list with his battles, starting with red ribbon army to Cell. And all moaned at his ki levels. Gokou gloated every time he saw a face fell because of them.
But ranking high on the list was Vegeta still. And he swore he new every single one. The best offcourse was Freeza and Napa who had been toasted. Feria particularly found that fact hilarious. Even more when she heard her own brother kicked his butt around first. Gohan, Videl, Trunks even Bura with a cat fight. And below in a very small lettering were the earth warriors. Only because Gokou insisted. And Gohan wanted piccolo as well. Every time a sticker was pasted over stated green bean that Gohan ripped off every visit. Hollering at the person responsible and kicking his or her butt around. Yelling about insulting his Sensei.
The Chef was the only one allowed to change the ratings. And next to the map was a life sized picture of the now laughed at Chibi Ice-jin, who had called himself supreme ruler of the universe. It really was only a chibi. Smaller then even Freeza had been. The photo had been put on the wall with a piece of plastic over it as every time his appearance was altered for the worse. Feeling so sorry for his lack of testicles they usually added some first, before giving him a more muscular appearance. The females on the other hand figured he was no a man but a girl. So they sometimes had a round breasted fe/male. Apart from the mission, the guard was very important. Two guards in the throne room in full armour. And on strategic places the remaining 3 per group. Shifting each week, if one was on a mission they had two weeks to catch up later. As there were 6 teams the 6th had 5 weeks for missions and training.
Back to the throne room was Sula on the carpet, tossing up nuts in her mouth. Thoroughly bored. Now 6 to 7 months pregnant the whole colony fussed about her. Almost like no one saw a pregnant female before. Usually a female would go on missions for 7 months before staying home. But she'd been grounded from day 1. Administration was a drag. Oh sure, they had now a couple of secretaries, but she did mission profiles and such. Usually fun but it was getting old and boring. Vegeta tolerated almost anything she did. Sometimes not showing in the throne room for mission profiles but walking through the complex, annoying others instead. Irritating doctors until they started talking about their projects, she quickly fled and nagged some others. Holding a close eye on her team who temporarily joined Solar or others when needed or just because a mission looked fun.
"Vegeta? Why did the chicken cross the road?" the king peered at her from his books. "I don't care." and concentrated writing again. She sighed. "Vegeta? What is an ice-jin without balls?" Stunned he blinked before glancing annoyed down.
"I'm not in the mood for riddles.' "Screwed." she stated snickering. Even Vegeta smirked. "Your right, now Shuddup." concentrating on the law book again.
"Vegeta?" "What?!" "Never mind..." moody he closed the book. "Annoying...well what?" "No never mind, I don't want to disturb." "Oh please, you have been 'disturbing' me for the last months! Spit it out!"
"It's nothing." he sighed. Stubborn. "Alright." Opening his book again. She blinked huh? "Then again...it is sort of important." Loudly sighing Vegeta again closed the book. Pregnant females were a bitch! Beaming she glanced up at his highly irritated face.
"WELL?" "Oh you, weren't finished yet? Never mind." "SULA!" "Okay, because you insist." The guards snickered a bit. Amazing how females worked men. "One I'm bored." He grunted.
"Never noticed before." he stated sarcastic. "Well your the king aren't you? FIX IT!" "And the second?" he asked instead. "Feria still isn't pregnant. Their still fighting." he sighed. "Still?" he mulled it through before beaming. "You fix it." opening his book he ignore the shout.
"WHAT?! I'm a warrior not a match maker!" "I gave you a direct order Sula." He stated calm, glancing down. "What? ORDER THIS!" she stuck her middle finger up and darted out of the room flinching at Vegeta's anger roaring. Behind her she hear Vegeta barking at the guards to get her back. NO WAY! HELP? Running through the hallways she ran to the ramp, ramming against someone's back, who quickly turned and caught her before she fell. Glancing up she sighed relieved.
"Vegeta, pissed, did something stupid! Help!" Feria sighed, already furious because of a recent fight with Storn who started to push her allot lately. "Follow me." She took off still in the tunnel, shrugging Sula followed her as angry Saiyan's had to duck as they passed overhead. Both looked like they were launched from the mountain as they exited. Sula activated a scatterer as they both hid in the sunlight. Below them the two guards peered all sides but couldn't locate them.
"SULA!!!! IT'S NOT LIKE HE'LL KILL YOU, HE NEEDS YOU!" Sula, holding on to Feria's armour to be enveloped in the sort of shield shook her head. No way! They moved back and forth a bit but couldn't locate her, after 14 minutes they gave up and returned inside. Sula sighed deep.
"What did you do?" Feria wondered. She received a middle finger. "That, in Vegeta's face?" ashamed Sula glanced at her boots as Feria shook her head. "Stupid idiot. He'll be very pissed for a long time. I know, believe me." "Yeah and the worst is, Solar left today for a 2 week mission. Usually he fixes it." "Well I'm not in a diplomatic mood anyway, if I see his face I'll kill him on the spot." Sula blinked.
"You'd kill Vegeta?" "NO, that baka." Sula nodded understanding. "Storn..." Feria hissed. "Don't say that name!" she inched back a bit as Feria turned red again. "Okay...sorry! Hormone shop here, SORRY!" Sula couldn't help herself when she started to sniff. Sighing strained Feria took her hand.
"I know, I snapped a bit to hard." "He's going to kill me!" she whimpered. Feria shrugged. "Out of sight, out of mind I always say. Lets go to my hiding spot."
"Hiding spot?" Sula whimpered sobbing. Feria nodded. "How do you do this IT still lives, I need to cool off one every other day." Taking Sula's hand tight in her they blasted off. Across lakes and woods they flew, Sula still crying even when Feria landed in thick woods, pulling her inside a hidden cave under a waterfall.
"Now push your ki down like Kakarott taught." Feria ordered, nodding she complied and sat down on a moss bed, with twigs and leafs. Silent they sat there for a few minutes, Feria's scouter softly beeped as Sula's eyes widened in horror. In the down pouring waterfall were the contours of Vegeta. Quickly holding Sula's mouth Feria thought quickly. Now what! She didn't want to hand in Sula, nor did she want him to know her hiding spot.
Pulling a mumbling Sula with her through the waterfall, Vegeta peered inside and saw nothing. And pulled back again as Feria darted back inside with Sula in a steel grip, still holding her mouth to shut up her whimpering. They heard Vegeta growl and mumble to himself that he knew something was here. Inhaling Feria blasted a light ki-ball inside the cave just as Vegeta peered inside again ad they baled out. A whole bat colony was disturbed and raced at the kings head who blinked stunned. Pulling out, Feria and Sula dripping wet entered with their heads flat on the ground as the remainder of the bats fled out. Vegeta swatted some bats away as he flew away.
Feria exhaled relieved. Sula stopped whimpering and blinked. Nice move! Struggling lose she eyed her friend next to her who sighed deep.
"I have to remember that one..." Feria smiled back. "I had to think fast."
"No shit! Well done, you just managed to fool the king!" both snickered content. At dusk Feria returned with her hunting rewards, Sula had wanted to join but felt too tired after her mood changes. Pulling down a gazelle Feria grabbed a leg and toasted it with her ki, instead of making a fire. Smoke could be detected. Smelling the food Sula quickly woke and grabbed it greedy from Feria's hands.
"Sure, snatch away." she stated soar. Sula gnawed happy on the flesh. "I just did." she stated with a stuffed mouth. Just as Feria wanted to eat too an orange suit appeared before them.
"Kakarott? AW just go away?" he pulled his hand from his forehead and eyed the couple. "I just found you. Vegeta is a bit worried about you Sula." Sula whimpered again. Rising and hugging his waist.
"Don't tell!!! He'll surly kill me!" she shrieked. Feria sighed embarrassed as Gokou turned a bit red. Trying to get her off. But failed when she dug her nails in his skin. "OUCH! Do you mind!?"
"Nice BRO, but NO, you're the only one who can hold Vegeta at bay!" "Sure just count me out." Feria added monotone, continuing her dinner. "I only just managed to fool him. Don't mind me." Sula sighed.
"Feria did a great job sending him off again, but ah...that won't work with you ne?" Feria snickered. "I don't have any bats left anyhow." confused Gokou eyed his sister who shrugged smirking. "Don't ask."
"And a...Vegeta is not, I quote 'worried', no he's furious at me!" Sula continued. "Why would he be? Your one of his best friends!" Gokou defended. "Because I did this?" she smirked silly as she have him the finger. Gokou blinked. "I see...you can put that down now..." blushing she complied. "Hey! Kakarott! Dinner?" Shrugging he flopped down as Sula left him alone.
"Sure. Chi-chi's off to Bulma anyway, Goten on a date..." handing him just toasted meat they ate in silence. "Feria? You never did tell about Tousan..." Gokou started. "What's there to tell, he lived and then got killed by Freeza." Gokou nodded. "I know...but how was he? What was he like?" he added.
"To start, we Saiyan's have a nice theory about life and death, either you live or your dead. And usually the dead aren't discussed." Sula stated, to explain Feria's crude answer. She elbowed Feria. "Come on, he does want to know..." she sighed before stretching.
"Alright, Tousan ne? He was...protective um...nice...very good in story telling..." she smirked as she remembered more. She never gave it much thought, it was so long ago. "But most important I think you should know is that at the very last conversation, minutes before he died, he said I should take care of you. He did care about you, you know." Gokou nodded.
"I think I always new, sort off. Like when I fought with Freeza, before I turned super Saiyan for the first time. He was there." Feria's eyes widened.
"He was? Did you hear him talk?" Gokou nodded. "Hai, he said I should avenge the whole Saiyan race for what Freeza did. I sometimes wonder what he was like, and then you came. But we never had the time to discuss."
