Part 3
A strong familiar sent felled his nose as his body twitched with the sudden change in the gravity. He had indeed gotten heavier and the smells around him were of the plants he had not seen nor smelled for what seemed like ages. Why it seemed like Vegetasei.
******
He must have walked in a circle three or maybe four times to get used to the new gravity. Goten still laid beside him and was looking slightly pale and wide-eyed; the new gravity must not suit him well.
Trunks slapped Goten across the face startling him.
"Huh.er.duh.heh.ouch!" Goten mumbled with the slap. "That hurt!" He rubbed his cheek.
"Get up we have an adventure waiting for us and you're sleeping on the job."
******
Vegeta smelt the air again. It had been so long since he had felt anything like it. There were other planets in the universe, but none had ever been like Vegetasei. The air, the gravity, the deep forest, the wild animals, it all got his blood moving. He had missed the hunt.
He glanced at the sky out of the corner of his eye. Why, it was the moon. Not full enough to transform, though. What a pity. The rush would have been welcomed. From the looks of it, he would give it two weeks to fill out. Just then there was a groan from the bushes and with that the movement of leaves. What my luck. It's one of those wild animals. Dinner has come to me. Vegeta prowled closer.
"Yo, Vegeta!" Goku sat up from behind the bushes. "Man, what a ride!" he smiled a cocked grin.
Vegeta frowned. Leave it to him to spoil the thought of dinner. Funny why didn't I sense him? In fact he couldn't sense anything.
******
"Bromios!" A tall sayianjin stood before him. "What the hell are you doing here!? You are supposed to be on guard duty.What's this?" The tall sayianjin's tail twitched. "What the hell is that?"
"They. They would be more correct, and I have no idea. THEY fell on me." Bromios faced his superior.
"We are going to have to report THEM to the King and guess who is going to be doing the paper work."
Bromios shrugged "Maybe the King will let me keep them. They look like such pretty pets."
"They can hardy stand the gravity here. If it were not for your aura they would have died."
"The King has low gravity in forced rooms for the slaves that can't handle the gravity. Maybe if they don't die they can stay there." Bromios suggested.
"You just want to start a harem or something like the king's. I know you too well." The tall sayianjin smiled.
"So? Maybe I do."
"Fine, you go to the regeneration room and see if you can't whip up some tanks for the ummm. whatever they are and I will go report to the King."
"You're no fun, Kizk."
******
What strange behavior. What weird colored hair. Acacetus watched as two boys jumped around looking at all the trees and bushes as if they had never seen any of them before. His squad behind him seemed transfixed also. Maybe it was a new trick of the Kings to try and catch them. To use children as a distraction and get them from behind, but the King was not a coward. He was not low enough to do that.
He watched, as they seemed to be playing some sort of game in the grass. Suddenly the one with much more dark normal hair rushed in their direction. Acacetus took a step back to stay out of its way, but the two still collided. He was knock to his feet and opened his eyes to meet a pair very much like his own.
******
A dark figure sat hunched on a tall chair in the middle of the room. The room was very large, about the size of a football field, and for being such a large room had no furniture save the chair. From the main doors, which were large stretching to the ceiling and carved with beautiful wild animals and dragons, there was a long length of carpet. The carpet was a darkened red as if soaked in blood. Its length crawled across the floor to the edge of a slop of stairs leading up to the single chair in the room. This chair was unlike any other. Strong armrests dawned the flanks curved like lion's claws. The legs that rested on the black marble of the stairs were thick and long for someone tall and well built. The large backboard of solid wood had a dragon ingrained on it. Claws of gold and two bloodstones for eyes stared anyone and everyone down. Two equally dark eyes stared at Kizk as his pushed through the heavy doors to enter the throne room.
"What do you want, guard?" the voice from the chair demanded.
"I have come with news of your guard Bromios." Kizk kneeled before the King.
"Speak then."
"This evening it has come to my attention that he found two animals of some planet. He believes they are female. It also comes to my attention that they are incapable of standing the high gravity here and in order to keep them alive it may be wise to keep them with the other slaves in the gravity enforced chambers. With your permission of course." Kizk tired very hard to hide the fact that the King's eyes seemed to be burning into his soul.
"Very well. Them may be kept there. I wish to see them right away though."
"Bromios has taken them to the regeneration tank rooms. From the short time they were not in his aura they were damaged much."
"Put them through the tanks a quickly as possible. I want to know all about them."
"Yes, Sire."
******
Acacetus slapped the child in front of him. It screeched and reeled back from him. He would not let it take him off guard again. The squad behind him moved forward and tackled the child and pinned him down. It screamed cruses and just about everything else. Acacetus just smiled and drew a double-headed axe. He could smell it's fear.
******
Vegeta turned from Goku and puzzled over his newly found problem. Why had he not sensed Kakorot? True he could hide his power level, but not so much that he would not be able to at lest feel it in the back of his mind. It was completely blank and dark. Everything was dark and black feeling. It felt just like before he learned how to sense ki. It reminded him of fried ki, black, desolate, and destructive.
******
Goten had never been more scared in his life excepted when he didn't do his homework and his mother was after him. One moment ago he had been playing around with Trunks and got knocked into the bushes and ran into something with strange eyes. It attacked him and was now standing over him with a large and dangerous looking axe. While he was pinned to the ground by a bunch of it's buddies. Only then did Goten grasp the full force of the situation he was in. Goten reinforced his struggle against his bonds.
******
Acacetus raised the axe to make a swift movement of killing the brat before him. It stared at him with wide eyes and a pleading look. "Please.don't." it begged. Amazing! Never had Acacetus seen anything beg for it's life. He almost took pity on it. Almost.
******
Trunks panicked. Goten had tripped and run into the bushes landing on some. a tail flicked on one of the figures.some sayianjins. Holy Shit, we're in trouble. Trunks watched as they pinned Goten down and the thought of being a hero crossed his mind. The one raised an axe about to chop his friend in half. Now was the time to act.
******
Acacetus felt something hit him in the back of his head. A light tap of sorts. The squad in front of him laughed and Acacetus turned around. Before him stood the other brat he had almost forgotten about. He should be more careful than to let one get by him. "So brat you want to play?"
The purple hair thing crouched and looked at him. Acacetus followed suit then said "Let's make this more interesting. If you beat me I will let you and your friend go, but if I win well.we will see what happens."
The thing nodded again.
******
Shit Trunks frowned. He had kicked it in it's head and it hardly even flinched. Trunks studied his enemy more closely, and for the first time noticed that the sayianjin before him was not much older then himself. In fact they were probably the same age, but he was no kid at all. He looked battle harden with dark skin and a large scar lay across his checks and the bridge of his nose. Almost as if someone had tried to cut his nose off. The whole pack of sayinjin were this way. Nothing but children. There were five all together. There was one very small sayianjin in the corner holding one of Goten's arms. It could not have been over the age of three, but it too had dark skin and already had a permanent scowl on its face.
******
Bromios closed the lids on the regeneration tanks and watched them flood with the healing liquid. He pulled up a chair from one of the corners in the room and took one of the computer tops from a tech-slave. Readjusting regeneration tank's schematics was not as easy as it looked when whatever it is was, was not sayianjin. Most of the time when a slave they got form another planet was hurt they just killed it to put it out of its misery.
One of the tech-slaves stood in the corner and watched Bromios work over his computer top. What was going on, and were did they come from?
"Slave! Come here!" Bromios commanded. The slave approached him. "How come the schematics are not changing?"
"You need the safety turn off password. It keeps just anyone from changing the schematics when someone is in a tan-"
"Well, What is it?" Bromios demanded.
"2143658709."
"Slave, I want you to change these schematics so that these beings heal." Bromios tossed the computer top at him.
"Yes, sir." The tech-slave caught his computer top gladly.
******
Gohan reached home to find that the normal pleasant smell of cooking was not there, and to him that was the worst thing to come home to. Goku must have eaten it all. Just his luck. No food and no Chi-chi home to make any. Darn. Maybe one of the books from the library would come in handy, yes.Cooking for Dummies! How hard could it be? Really?
******
"Really, Acacetus, will you get it over with! If we had all day Yasai would have said so, but I don't recall such a statement."
"Butt out, Nyx, it is none of your concern." Acacetus glanced quickly at her from over his shoulder.
Trunks jumped on the chance to get a hit in, and landed a hard punch to the left jaw side. Acacetus stumbled and Goten broke into cheers. Acacetus turned angry, but hardly even looked at Trunks, instead he turned a glared at the girl behind him. "You did that on purpose!" He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "You distracted me!"
Trunks could tell that even though his back was turned every muscle was tensed in the sayianjin's body. Even if he had the heart to attack when its back was turned he was sure that the sayianjin was not completely oblivious to what he was doing. Not much of a chance for a good hit.
"But of course, I could not let us go back and have you brag that you never got hit once. Now could I?"
Acacetus growled at her. "I will deal with you later. " With that he turned back to Trunks. "Now, where were we.oh yes, I was about the slaughter you."
Trunks pushed his chin up in defiance and gave him his best glare with his eyes.
Acacetus eyes flashed a moment and subsided, and he paused, but Trunks was quick to note that the sayianjin's guard was let down for just a second.
******
Tenno finished the adjustments to the regeneration tanks and smiled with satisfaction.
"Tech-slave.I like that ring." A female voice sung.
Tenno responded quickly "Go away Erato." He then turned and glanced at the ceiling and saw upside down a young girl of maybe thirteen. Her eyes were thin blue slits that characterized their species along with a long ruffle of pure white hair pinned down by one of her soft small hands with the wicked claws.
"Are you afraid that I will get in trouble, Tenno? Oh, you are worried about me! I am touched!" She purred as she crawled across the ceiling so that when she let her hair go from her hands it was just long enough to hit his head. "Really. I never knew."
"Stop it Erato!" Tenno said with real irritation. "Go back to wherever you were."
"But the harem is no fun." She pouted.
For the first time he realized what Erato was, and he wanted to cry. His little sister lived in a harem, he was pushed around by a bunch of over grown monkeys, and his parents and home planet were gone. How long had it been? Hard to tell really, time dragged on this dirt ball of a planet. "I swear I will not live like this."
Erato dropped lightly to the floor and her double-jointed toes and claws scratched it lightly. Her elder brother was strong at heart and she hated to see him hurt. She did what she did best and pulled him close into a tight embrace. "We will get out.we will." She started to cry so her brother would not.
A strong familiar sent felled his nose as his body twitched with the sudden change in the gravity. He had indeed gotten heavier and the smells around him were of the plants he had not seen nor smelled for what seemed like ages. Why it seemed like Vegetasei.
