Part 4
Trunks sprung at the kid in front of him, only to find that the kid was no longer there. Funny. where the hell did he go? He had thought his guard was down. Trunks reached out with his sense, but felt nothing. He then tried to power up to super sayianjin. That would show them something. He would kick all of their asses. Fists clenched he began to power up, but the harder he tried the more his power slipped away. What the. There was a tap on his shoulder and Trunks turned his head. He felt the entire force of the sayianjin's fist in his face and then saw the beautiful combination of stars.
****** "That was too easy! Heh!" Acacetus smiled.
"I told you, you would never get hit if I didn't help." Nyx humph.
"I didn't want to get hit!" He snapped back.
"Ops, too bad."
Gruffly Acacetus swung the body of Trunks over his shoulder and grunted at Nyx. "Yasai said to bring them back alive, I think. Sometimes I don't think she knows what she is doing."
"She knows better then you."
Acacetus ignored her and turned to the pinned Goten. "Your lucky break kid. You get to live. For now." He then promptly hit a vein in his neck knocking him out.
"Let's not take all day." Nyx snorted and shoulder Goten since she was the second tallest to Acacetus, by only a few centimeters.
******
Tenno listened to the steady beat of the aliens' hearts in the regeneration tanks. Unlike the sayainjins they had one.
Erato stared at them through the glass with a child like curiosity. "Whoa, cool! They look so much like the sayainjins, but they don't have any tails."
"Yup." Tenno continued fingering his desk, typing in the new changes for the machines before him. He ran a set of claws through his hair to help him think.
"Well I have to leave. I have to go and talk to somebody, okay." Erato smiled half-heartily. She had only stopped crying a half-hour ago, it would not be a good idea to go on too much farther.
"Okay." Tenno half heard his sister. He was caught up in the fascinating creatures before him only on a different level than his sister. She saw merely the hair and eyes, but he saw the molecular structure the percent of intelligence beyond that of a sayainjin and more. The problem was the weakness of the new species DNA and basic make up. He could fix these things through a few genetically grown bio implants, but the sayainjins were bound to notice, even if they knew no real facts about the new species yet.
"Over half of their bodies are made of water.but there is no sign that they are adapted to breath or swim very well in it, how interesting." Tenno mumbled aloud, which he did often when thinking too hard.
Erato stretched to the ceiling with her extendible lizard like tail. Silently she pulled herself up and gripped the ceiling again grabbing her hair to keep it from falling into peoples' views. Creeping along the ceiling she left the room through her favorite air vent that she always used to keep in touch with her brother. The whole palace was covered in the heating vents that the present King did not use, but it was a previous King that enjoyed hot baths and very warm days that had called for all the vents.
Covered in cobwebs the vents were a mark of the sayainjin understanding in how to build things. Many had fallen down over the years, never replaced, and the ones that had been built way back when were bent in funny directions and some even doubled back on each other. Even though it was confusing to find were she was going and she should be cursing the sayainjins for their lack in engineering, Erato enjoyed thinking of the sayainjins being stupid in this way. One of the few things she still got to enjoy. She would love to escape with her brother, but there were just too many people that also were imprisoned that she just could not leave behind. Plus her brother was kept on much closer security, but to say that she wasn't either was wrong. She happened to be one of the Kings favorites, a call for much higher security. In fact some guards should be in her room to check on her in any minute, she had better hurry and be sure to greet them.
******
Daedalus pulled his squad around him and watched trying to learn all he could. That one. He looked like the King, but no he was younger. He could not be him. The other one, he had seen his face before, but where? Damn memory. They were much stronger than they looked. The readings on the palmer were off the scale. They were not of the King's guard though. They did not have the uniforms. The one was wearing orange with a black symbol on it. A turtle. Could it be the one from the prophecy? Maybe they were the ones Yasai had been waiting for. They would have to come with him though, but hell, how was he going to make them come with him? Damn, he was going to have to resort to something very un-saiyajin, Diplomacy. It was going to be the death of him.
******
Acacetus pulled the child over his shoulder and slumped him on the desk before Yasai. Nyx did the same and dismissed herself with the rest of the squad. Acacetus remained to explain to Yasai. " It's like this. We found these children playing around in the area that you had indicated. They attacked me so we were going to kill them, but you seemed to be interested in odd things so we brought them back."
Yasai looked down at the brats that were knocked out before her. Simpleton children, but what of the purple hair? "Very well, take them somewhere were they will be quiet until I decide that to do with them."
"But Yasai, they attacked me. I have the right to their lives."
"True, if I find no use for them you can have them, but in the mean time they may still be connected to the blasting noise."
******
Erato jumped down from the duct in the harem quarters and looked around at her fellow abused friends. There was not much to hang on to in the harem without a family so they made sort of a family themselves. Britomartis, Dictynna, and Aphaea were a few of the ones that had not gone quite crazy like some of the women there that had been abused so much. It wasn't just forced sex, much worse, the other things they made you do when they were drunker than a fish swimming in a beer keg. You just could not think about it.
Besides that, the set of rooms for them was not really all that bad. It had it's own bath system and a never-ending wardrobe made of the finest materials. They had a lot of finery. More freedom than the slaves, but it all came with a price.
They encircled her and gave her a large hug. One of those friendly glad you are back hugs. She smiled and was about to tell them of the news of the new deliveries in the generation rooms when there was that bang.
"Open this damn door or we will break it down." The security team of sayainjins were pounding on the door.
The girls in the room huddled in the corner trying to look naturally meek and mild. Erato, however pulled a cloak about her, hunched, and seemed to age a few years as she went to answer the door.
The sayainjins came bustling in and looked around, counted heads, and eventually came to the conclusion that everyone was there, but any sayainjin was not nice enough to just leave. They had to stare and make eyes at them, but at lest they knew better then to touch. They belonged to the King. "Where is Erato?" One said with an airy sort of voice.
Erato stepped forward. Had they found out about her leave this evening? She could be executed for that. What about her brother? They might hurt him too, for her deeds.
"The King wants you to pick a party of four including yourself to dance at his son's coronation tomorrow. It will be very late in the evening." With that the older sayainjin grunted at the younger ones ogling and prompted them to leave with him being last.
Erato's friends gathered around to volunteered for the job. It was not often there was a coronation to see and this would mean they got front seats.
Britomartis looked at her friend with dark red eyes. She was one out of the four who actual knew some martial arts not that it was enough to defeat a sayainjin, but they were still admirable. "This will be a great for us! We could get out of the harem for awhile and see the heir."
Dictynna was a bit more on the skeptical side. " I hear that the heir is worse than his father and he doesn't like harems." The only thought that scared everyone in the harem more than being there was what would happen to them if the harem was deleted, so to speak.
Aphaea frowned a sayainjin frown and switched her tail. The sayainjins normally breed woman of their race either to be very strong or to be merely pretty things for them to marry off or use in harems. Aphaea had been a great hit since sometimes the King did not like the idea of having sex with an alien. " I don't like the looks or ideas of the prince. I think we are in for a world of hurt when he becomes King."
Erato tried to cheer her up. "Well, by the time he actually becomes King we will be long gone. I hope to escape by then."
Aphaea laughed. "Things don't work on this planet like you think they do. The Prince will become King when he is ready, not when the King decides to give him the throne." She cracked her knuckles, smiled, and relaxed in a chair. She had taught Britomartis all she knew about martial arts, but compared to the rest of the sayainjins that had breed her the way she was, she was not very strong.
All four of them were quite a pleasure to look at. With the feature of wide eyes of shining colors except Aphaea. Instead she had a thin muscular frame that the sayainjins so admire. Since she was much weaker than themselves they enjoyed a bed fight before taking her. The girls were beautiful and beyond. That was the way they were expected to be.
"Well, I still have a meeting to keep, be back soon!" Erato jumped to the ceiling and crawled up the air vent, like a spider scurrying about.
*****
Vegeta sniffed the air while he only half listened to Kakorot complain about being hungry. There was something in the air that he could not quite make out. Something unusual. They were not the only ones there.
"-anything would be okay. If this is Vegetasai like you think, you should know what kinds of foo-"
"Shut up Kakorot. There is someone here."
"Huh? What are you taking abou-"
******
They know I am here why not make an entrance? Daedalus stepped up and through the bushes to meet the eyes of the two sayainjins before him. He knew, of course, the palmer had made it obvious through his readings, but the missing tails proved to make him doubt.
"Are you sayainjins?"
Vegeta and Goku stared at the boy before them. He was hardened with a deep scar going up his right arm and another running up his cheek; someone had just missed his eye. Behind him stood two others back in the shadows so far that you could not see them, but a distorted reflection.
"Well?"
Vegeta had seen this person before. Where had he seen him? He couldn't remember. Damn memory. "Of course. Who the hell are you?"
"Daedalus."
Vegeta paused. He still couldn't remember. He pushed it aside. "Vegeta." Pointed to Goku. "Kakorot."
"My name is Goku." Goku had the wimp to answer.
"Your name is Kakorot. It is your birth name."
"Goku."
"Kakorot."
"Goku."
"Kakorot."
"Goku."
"SHUT UP! You are acting like a bunch of sniveling brats!" Daedalus eyed the two. They were not as great as they had first appeared. "You are to come with me."
"What makes you think we will?" Vegeta had better things to do than to follow a brat around.
"You wouldn't have happened to see two little boys around? One with hair like mine and one with purple hair." Goku thought this boy, perhaps from a town, would know where Goten and Trunks were.
"First of all there are millions of people on this planet with hair like yours and second of all no one has purple hair but a couple of aliens." He must be off his rocker.
A small red light blinked on an instrument the boy was holding. "How inconvenient that I have a call." He turned silently half away and began to talk to the small silver instrument in half sentences. " What? You mean Acacetus has brought you." "Right away, I will report back." "I will bring my find with me." "No problem. Not now anyway." He pushed a few buttons and turn around to face the two. "It seems you will be coming with me."
******
Almost there. Another kilometer or so and I will be within the right district. Erato smiled to her self as she jumped through the trees with the ease like that of a monkey.
******
Tenno looked through the glass compound at the two creatures brought to him. There was no disregarding it. They both looked so much prettier with out all the injuries. It was two bad they would more than likely end up in the same place as his sister. Who knows maybe they already know of a quick way away from here.
******
Goten and Trunks were lying on the dirty floor of a cell in what seemed to be a large encampment. Vines grew up the sides of the large dark walls, so many that you could not tell what the walls were even made of. Trunks snorted and turned over. Getting hit so hard twice in a day like that could not be good for your health. "Aggg."
Goten had already been awake and checking out the walls. Heck he couldn't even find the door, which could not be such a good sign. "You don't suppose there is away out? I mean, it would not be proper to out stay our welcome."
"I guess your right." Trunks rubbed his temple and began to feel along the walls. We don't have much else to do. "Hey, couldn't we try to blast part of it or something?"
"I don't know. You try."
Trunks crouched and rubbed his hands together. He began to gather his energy to his hands, but kept feeling it slip away. "What in the hell."
"Trying something are you? It's not going to work might I add." From the depths of the bushes came a thin airy whisper. That had an aurora of power not like anything they had felt before.
******
Erato stepped through the bushes and into a hidden area of deep and ancient magic. A small waterfall came creaming down splashing everything with a light spray of water. The water created short rainbows in the mist among the many trees. The trees had canopies so large that the light that came through came down in arrows of stunning brightness. It was beautiful.
It was forbidden too. Because of the evil that was suppose to lurk there. Anyone that ever came here never came back and the superstitions of the people near by were old and so used to being followed no one ever thought to think differently. Then again sayainjins were not know for their great minds. Of course it was brilliant of Yasai to use this as her hide out. She could not have found a better place.
Erato jumped gracefully from the small wet rocks around the bottom of the waterfall. Slippery suckers, but I am a dancer not a bubbling idiot. You cannot beat me. She smiled and dashed through the waterfall and to the other side to find a group of tunnels. A great maze of sorts. One wrong step and you could be in a world of hurt. Too bad Erato knew better.
Erato snapped her fingers and a short line appeared in the air and a silver instrument slide out into her hands. What a nifty trick Hebe had taught her. Empty space pocket. The palmer beeped happy and Erato clicked a few buttons to see a screen materialized into view. "Yasai!" There was a pause and a short response.
"Erato! I have been waiting. Enter."
The entrance to the network of tunnels faded and an opening to a hallway of thick vines appeared. She entered and the hallway dissolved as soon as she had.
******
Vegeta could not believe that he was going to follow this little brat. The shadows around the brat had turned out to be more under aged brats, but no. he had to go with Kakorott to find their brats. How worse can it get?
The land though felt like home. It got all his blood stirring. Like when he was hunting as a child or fighting his prey. The smells, the earth under his feet, and the very molecules in the air all made him feel stronger. It just felt so right. Earth never had compared to Vegetasai in this way. He had never belonged there. It was like having to settle for second best when the store was out of the rest.
Goku didn't seem to notice. He wasn't really a sayainjin. He was just born that way. His heart was on Earth. He never could have made it here with the way he is. My Heart has always been here.
******
Daedalus slowed as he walked closer to the forbidden area. It made his very bones shiver when he thought about it. Yasai said there was nothing there, but sometimes it was hard to believe this. He pushed aside the damp bushes and there it was in all its glory.
"Wow it's so beautiful!" Goku looked wide eyes
Vegeta was wide eyed too. "This.We should not be here. I thought sayainjins knew better."
"That's too bad." Daedalus humphed. He was actually glad that he was not the only one not wanting to be there.
Slowly he slipped through the stones on the water and splashed through the waterfall with the others not far behind. The network of tunnels in front of him made him feel a little better. Pulling out his palmer he gained access to the hall of vines.
****** Acacetus heard them coming before they came into view from around the corner. The vines absorbed most sounds, but not all. Yasai had to be one of the most brilliant of her kind, then again the only one of her kind.
Daedalus approached him silently.
"Hey, nice load, who the hell are they?" Acacetus asked.
"You do not want to listen to them argue over that trust me." Daedalus remarked. Acacetus laughed a full laugh.
Vegeta felt a little bit annoyed at the low classed brats remark, but Goku, of course, unfazed by this jumped in. "Are we there yet?"
Daedalus and Acacetus both chose to ignore him. What was the point in talking to the prisons that so willingly come?
"Yasai will be most pleased with me over this. Maybe I will finally out rank you?" Daedalus nudged Acacetus.
"Daedalus, Go choke on some Vard bones will ya?"
"Hey, man don't get edgy, if you want, Yasai is having a Pit game, and you can try and force them down my throat, okay?"
"Deal."
The strange group had walked through so many passages that nobody in their right mind could have found there way to where they were. Only Daedalus and Acacetus seem to have no trouble, but suddenly, as if out of nowhere, around the corner came a sliding door. It was not reinforced with anything in fact it just opened when they got close enough to it.
They stepped in as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Inside was dark like the rest of the encampment and a bit chilly. The doors slid silently in place behind them.
A couple of chairs were in the room with a large computer terminal. Someone was typing on it in the corner of the room where the screen was taking up the majority of the wall. The language that poured across the screen was not anything that Goku had seen before, but everyone else seemed to know and was not bothered by it.
"You took your sweat time."
"Acacetus just has a timing problem of showing up to bother me."
"Acacetus, I did not ask you here, you may leave." The voice of the person typing continued to click at the keyboard. "Go and make sure Hebe is making our Guests welcome."
Acacetus smiled like a child given candy, "Now that could be fun." He retreated from the room.
"Maybe you should go with him Daedalus."
"I can't leave here with no one to protect you."
"Are you saying that I am weak?"
"No no no, that was not what I meant I ." He gave up from the silence from the chair and left slowly from the room.
"How nice of you to come. I believe I have something that you came here for?"
"Trunks and Goten." Goku answered.
"Great, then we can strike a bargain." She stood and flowed out of the shadows.
Trunks sprung at the kid in front of him, only to find that the kid was no longer there. Funny. where the hell did he go? He had thought his guard was down. Trunks reached out with his sense, but felt nothing. He then tried to power up to super sayianjin. That would show them something. He would kick all of their asses.

He felt the entire force of the sayianjin's fist in his face and then saw the beautiful combination of stars.

"I didn't want to get hit!" He snapped back.
"Ops, too bad."
Gruffly Acacetus swung the body of Trunks over his shoulder and grunted at Nyx. "Yasai said to bring them back alive, I think. Sometimes I don't think she knows what she is doing."
"She knows better then you."
Acacetus ignored her and turned to the pinned Goten. "Your lucky break kid. You get to live. For now." He then promptly hit a vein in his neck knocking him out.
"Let's not take all day." Nyx snorted and shoulder Goten since she was the second tallest to Acacetus, by only a few centimeters.

"I guess your right." Trunks rubbed his temple and began to feel along the walls. We don't have much else to do. "Hey, couldn't we try to blast part of it or something?"
"I don't know. You try."
Trunks crouched and rubbed his hands together. He began to gather his energy to his hands, but kept feeling it slip away. "What in the hell."
"Trying something are you? It's not going to work might I add." From the depths of the bushes came a thin airy whisper. That had an aurora of power not like anything they had felt before.

Erato stepped through the bushes and into a hidden area of deep and ancient magic. A small waterfall came creaming down splashing everything with a light spray of water. The water created short rainbows in the mist among the many trees. The trees had canopies so large that the light that came through came down in arrows of stunning brightness. It was beautiful.
It was forbidden too. Because of the evil that was suppose to lurk there. Anyone that ever came here never came back and the superstitions of the people near by were old and so used to being followed no one ever thought to think differently. Then again sayainjins were not know for their great minds. Of course it was brilliant of Yasai to use this as her hide out. She could not have found a better place.
Erato jumped gracefully from the small wet rocks around the bottom of the waterfall. Slippery suckers, but I am a dancer not a bubbling idiot. You cannot beat me. She smiled and dashed through the waterfall and to the other side to find a group of tunnels. A great maze of sorts. One wrong step and you could be in a world of hurt. Too bad Erato knew better.
Erato snapped her fingers and a short line appeared in the air and a silver instrument slide out into her hands. What a nifty trick Hebe had taught her. Empty space pocket. The palmer beeped happy and Erato clicked a few buttons to see a screen materialized into view. "Yasai!" There was a pause and a short response.
"Erato! I have been waiting. Enter."
The entrance to the network of tunnels faded and an opening to a hallway of thick vines appeared. She entered and the hallway dissolved as soon as she had.

Vegeta could not believe that he was going to follow this little brat. The shadows around the brat had turned out to be more under aged brats, but no. he had to go with Kakorott to find their brats. How worse can it get?
The land though felt like home. It got all his blood stirring. Like when he was hunting as a child or fighting his prey. The smells, the earth under his feet, and the very molecules in the air all made him feel stronger. It just felt so right. Earth never had compared to Vegetasai in this way. He had never belonged there. It was like having to settle for second best when the store was out of the rest.
Goku didn't seem to notice. He wasn't really a sayainjin. He was just born that way. His heart was on Earth. He never could have made it here with the way he is. My Heart has always been here.

Daedalus slowed as he walked closer to the forbidden area. It made his very bones shiver when he thought about it. Yasai said there was nothing there, but sometimes it was hard to believe this. He pushed aside the damp bushes and there it was in all its glory.
"Wow it's so beautiful!" Goku looked wide eyes
Vegeta was wide eyed too. "This.We should not be here. I thought sayainjins knew better."
"That's too bad." Daedalus humphed. He was actually glad that he was not the only one not wanting to be there.
Slowly he slipped through the stones on the water and splashed through the waterfall with the others not far behind. The network of tunnels in front of him made him feel a little better. Pulling out his palmer he gained access to the hall of vines.
****** Acacetus heard them coming before they came into view from around the corner. The vines absorbed most sounds, but not all. Yasai had to be one of the most brilliant of her kind, then again the only one of her kind.
Daedalus approached him silently.
"Hey, nice load, who the hell are they?" Acacetus asked.
"You do not want to listen to them argue over that trust me." Daedalus remarked. Acacetus laughed a full laugh.
Vegeta felt a little bit annoyed at the low classed brats remark, but Goku, of course, unfazed by this jumped in. "Are we there yet?"
Daedalus and Acacetus both chose to ignore him. What was the point in talking to the prisons that so willingly come?
"Yasai will be most pleased with me over this. Maybe I will finally out rank you?" Daedalus nudged Acacetus.
"Daedalus, Go choke on some Vard bones will ya?"
"Hey, man don't get edgy, if you want, Yasai is having a Pit game, and you can try and force them down my throat, okay?"
"Deal."
The strange group had walked through so many passages that nobody in their right mind could have found there way to where they were. Only Daedalus and Acacetus seem to have no trouble, but suddenly, as if out of nowhere, around the corner came a sliding door. It was not reinforced with anything in fact it just opened when they got close enough to it.
They stepped in as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Inside was dark like the rest of the encampment and a bit chilly. The doors slid silently in place behind them.
A couple of chairs were in the room with a large computer terminal. Someone was typing on it in the corner of the room where the screen was taking up the majority of the wall. The language that poured across the screen was not anything that Goku had seen before, but everyone else seemed to know and was not bothered by it.
"You took your sweat time."
"Acacetus just has a timing problem of showing up to bother me."
"Acacetus, I did not ask you here, you may leave." The voice of the person typing continued to click at the keyboard. "Go and make sure Hebe is making our Guests welcome."
Acacetus smiled like a child given candy, "Now that could be fun." He retreated from the room.
"Maybe you should go with him Daedalus."
"I can't leave here with no one to protect you."
"Are you saying that I am weak?"
"No no no, that was not what I meant I ." He gave up from the silence from the chair and left slowly from the room.
"How nice of you to come. I believe I have something that you came here for?"
"Trunks and Goten." Goku answered.
"Great, then we can strike a bargain." She stood and flowed out of the shadows.
