Part 5
Gohan stood the book up against the top of the stove a little above the knobs that controlled the heat. He began aimlessly to flip through the pages. Temped to stay in the desserts but knowing better he flipped to something more wholesome. Hummmmmm.scrabbled eggs, toast, and bacon. Perfect.
Step 1. Take down a bowl and crack open a half a dozen eggs into the bowl.
Gohan pulled out of one of his mother's vast cupboards a large mixing bowl. In the refrigerator he found several dozen eggs. Figuring the recipe was for a single human he would just have to double or triple it. He cracked all the eggs in the refrigerator, which were about five-dozen. Shells and all they dripped into the bowl.
Now, he thought, this isn't so bad.
******
Vegeta knew who this person was he could never have forgotten her face. It was impossible. She blew up when the planet did. Why the hell did those two brats open a portal to the past? This was definitely Vegetasai. No doubt. A few things were different, but it was his home planet.
"Yasai." Vegeta whispered. The famous saboteur.
"So you know my name. Sorry to say that you will have to tell me yours." She smiled that cruel smile.
"Vegeta." She smiled at this. No one on the planet was supposed to have the name that the royal family had claimed. You could be sent to a horrible death. It must be his nickname; he did look like he came from the royal family.
"And your companion?"
"He's not my companion."
"My name is Goku." Goku smile and waved a peace sign.
She slowly smiled at him. "I am Yasai. You look like someone I know. Are you related to anyone from here?"
Scratching his head Goku remarked, "I don't think so."
"Hummm.well, I believe that we need to get down to business. I am in possession of the two people you are looking for, and you may have some infor-" She paused when she looked at Goku's gi. There was a white circle on his shirt with a black character on it in standard tongue. Turtle.
Whens energies fries
Turtles flies
Rivers fires
Waters dries
Times Cries
Thens Lions Dies.
When Turtles fly, the prophecy, was it coming true? Yasai looked hard at the man with the symbol on his top and no armor. "Why do you have that there?"
"Oh, I trained under the Turtle master back in my world."
Why the hell would any one train under a master of turtles. "So you did come from another world. What kind of spaceship did you come in? Where did you come from? Why are you here?"
"Huh?"
"Dumbass." Vegeta sneered at Goku then turned to Yasai. "What is in it for us if we tell you anything?"
"Safe passage through here and your two comrades."
"Okay, and we answer to the best of our knowledge your questions."
"Correct."
"It's a deal then."
"My first question is where did you come from?"
"Earth."
"How did you get here?"
"Through a portal opened by the two people you are holding."
"Why are you here?"
"To get them."
"Why are they here?"
"Who the hell knows."
"Why do you care so much about them?"
Vegeta paused here for a moment. Why had he even bothered to come after them?
Goku answered, "They are our sons."
The girl before them was puzzled for a moment though she showed no sign of it. She could not have been older then Trunks and Goten; in fact she looked to be about their same age. Not only that, she was quite beautiful for a sayainjin after she had stepped into the light they could see her clearly. There were no scares on her face like the other sayainjins, only dark tan smooth skin with ebony spikes that poured down her head to the back of her knees. She didn't wear any make-up; she really didn't need it. Yasai wasn't like some drop dead gorgeous human. She didn't have to be; she was a sayainjin. "They are not children. Why do you chase after them so?"
Goku continued to answer "They are our sons they aren't adults yet-"
Yasai interrupted, "You mean they haven't been of age yet?" She felt horrified at this thought.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Goku scratched his head.
"You ass." Vegeta swore at Goku, "She is talking about the coming of age ceremony."
"What?"
"When a sayainjin reaches a certain point in their lives they have the coming of age ceremony were they become adults. In the sayainjins eyes, you have been a child all your life." Vegeta smiled at this thought. Being on Earth it never really crossed his mind about who was of age or not.
"He's a child too?" Yasai did not smile or look one bit happy.
"Nothing but a brat." Vegeta was enjoying picking on Goku. Since he had come here he had never felt better.
"What about you?" Yasai looked at him steadily through a tight glare.
"I have had an of age ceremony. 20th of Kanja." Vegeta smiled a sly smile and looked at Yasai. "Never could forget that date."
Yasai's eyes widened.
****** Goten looked all around. There was not much to be seen in the vine-covered room with no door, and all logic and reasoning said that there was no way that voice could be coming from nowhere. The voice was sickly as if the person was hoarse and could hardly breathe. It was hardly a whisper. "You can't get out. I won't let you."
"Who are you!?" Trunks screamed and kicked the wall shaking the vines. "Let us out!"
"Only if you say please." The voice said jokingly.
"ARRRRGGGG!" Trunks slammed his fist against the wall with an especially hard blow. It bent the vines and the wall, but as soon as he removed his fist from it the wall bounced back into place like rubber. "Shit."
"Ho ho, trying to break through are you?" The voice was not the same person that it was before. "Heh, Hebe is the best person at holding people and her torture is better than perfection."
Two figures came through the vines at the opposite side that Trunks and Goten were standing near. The first was of their attacker earlier in the day, and Trunks let lose a growl in his throat.
Acacetus smiled at the challenge. Yasai said he could not kill him, but maybe he could still have a little fun.
The second figure was of a girl who was older than the boy was. She was tall with a beautiful face, but Goten and Trunks were not looking at that. Her throat had been ripped out. The skin on her neck was twisted and scared. A large metal box was protruding from the middle of the scars with a few lights blinking on the metal reflecting around the room. "What are you staring at?" Came her hoarse voice through the box, but she never had to move her lips, which were smiling.
The jaws dropped on their mouths at this. The girl's neck was ripped apart, she survived, and didn't even seem to care much but it.
"My name is Hebe and if you think this looks bad you should see some of the other people walking around here." She whispered at them. "Also, I can inflict much worse pain on you if you wish."
"Hebe, The one belongs to me. I get to play with him." Acacetus glared at her in a meaningful way.
"Neither of you will be playing with any of them." Daedalus walked in behind them.
"Yasai kicked you out too I see." Acacetus smiled at him.
"Humph. I don't see what is so important about those two men. I mean, the one is dumber than a rock and can't make up his mind about his name. The other looks like the king and has about the same size ego." Daedalus blinked and looked at Hebe. "Did they give you any trouble?"
"Are you kidding, these weaklings, never." Hebe smiled and tapped a long stick on the floor. Trunks and Goten had been too busy looking at her neck to even see her carrying it. They took a closer look at it to discover that it was merely a stick from of the trees outside that still had bark rotting off it.
"Let us out! When my father gets here he will tear you limb from limb. Your voice box wouldn't be the only thing missing." Goten raised a fist at them shaking it.
The other people in the room for the first time seemed to notice them and blinked. "What annoying little brats." One of them said.
Hebe tapped the stick on the ground three times, each a little harder and mumbled something under her breathe.
Goten didn't know what was happening at first. His mouth felt like it was full of peanut butter and the next moment it wouldn't open at all. "Humm hufmm mumm muf umf."
"Hebe you are truly a miracle worker." Acacetus laughed at the problems Goten was enduring.
"That's why I am the elite mage."
******
Over the Earth two really green people sat meditating just below the palm trees on the lookout. Slowly the air left their lungs and almost a full minute later they breathed in together. Until.
"Piccolo, Do you know anything else about the third dimension?" The youngest asked.
"Nothing that needs to concern you."
"Please, Piccolo, maybe there is something we can do."
"No."
"If you don't tell me I will ask Mr. Popo instead."
"He doesn't know the whole story."
"So you tell me."
"What do you want to know?" Piccolo grunted.
"How to get there."
"We can't go."
"Why not?"
"Because I already closed the dimension rift the dragon created."
"Can't you open another one?"
"Nope."
"But how are they supposed to get back out?"
"The dragon left a way out for them."
"What about the dimension's matrix it's self, what created it and how does it work?"
"As far as I know it's older than the Kaios. Which is pretty old. But no one knows how old. It's not like you can do carbon dating on a dimension. The basic thing is it started to exist at the same time as all the other dimensions, but for some reason it is behind us in it's timeline. It would kind of be like visiting the past. The other mystery is though that time passes faster there like in the room of spirit and time, but not as fast. We might go through something like a month and the third dimension could be finishing off a year. The exact ratio of time here and time there is really unknown."
"If time passes faster there, won't it after awhile be like visiting the future?"
"Yes, That's what is confusing, no one can figure out why the timeline was behind ours to begin with."
"Won't it make the time line different from ours?"
"Yes, In many ways it could be the same, but in other ways it is very different."
"Piccolo, I think this gets more dangerous by the second."
"And maybe by the hour there, we can do nothing."
****** Tenno had fallen asleep in his chair, with the desk on his lap. His head fell over the top of the chair leaning back and the smallest push could knock him out of it into a heap on the floor.
His desk sat still on his lap secured by nothing, but the friction of his clothing. Silence.BEEP!
"What the hell!" Tenno fell into that heap that was inevitable and heard out of his large ears the familiar sound of tanks draining. The aliens, they are repaired!
****** "Funny today is the 19th of Kanja." Yasai commented.
"Really?" Vegeta felt a little excited, if it was the right year he could go to see his own coronation.
"We answered your questions. I want Goten and Trunks back."
"I suppose so, but I need to remind you that they did attack us, and my officer whom they attacked holds the life of one of them. You will have to talk to him."
"What! But I thought you were going to give them to us!"
"I give you back the command that I had over them, but not that of my officers."
The door in the back slid open with a small swish. In the doorway stood a fairly tall female with a large wash of pure white hair and a shadowy figure, but you could see her eyes of blue slits through the darkness. "Yasai, I grow tired of waiting. I-" She stared at Vegeta, surprised out of her wits. There was a light thud when she dropped to her knees and began to pray to her gods looking up. She wanted a quick death and them not to hurt her brother who had nothing to do with her being here. Tears dripped down her skin and she then looked at Vegeta.
He was pleased for the first time in his life that he looked like his father minus the fact that he was stronger, younger, and most of all had no beard.
"Erato, It's not the King." Yasai walked over to the girl looking so small and childish on the floor.
Erato began trying to pull herself together, a combination of deep breaths and sighs. "Well it's a good thing he's not." She now had enough energy be a smartass.
"What are you trying to tell me? That I could not put up a good enough fight to save my life?" Yasai smiled and gave her a hand to help her off the floor.
"No," She continued to joke. "You wouldn't have to fight. They would force you to marry the prince like you were breed to do!"
Yasai stopped cold in her tracks and turned on her friend grabbing a hand full of Erato's hair. "Maybe praying to your gods for a quick death was a good idea."
"Agh.sorrrry.slipped my mind.erg.ccan.you let ggggo." Erato gasped and fell on the floor. "You know I have not been having a very good day lately."
"Its not going to get any better if you don't tell me what you want so badly to come barging in here."
"Just that you had to talk to these people before me even though I arrived first. It just isn't like you."
Vegeta had been stunned into silence. He stood there looking ordinary enough, but in side was a raging battle. Yasai.no way. She had been one of planet Vegetasai biggest problems with her strike and run and sabotage workings against the crown. He had never really known way she did it, but it made sense. She ran away from his father and hated the crown, because she had been breed like so many other Sayainjin women, but only she had been made to be his wife at his coronation. Most princes got married at their coronations, but he never had. Now he knew why. His wife had run away.
Gohan stood the book up against the top of the stove a little above the knobs that controlled the heat. He began aimlessly to flip through the pages. Temped to stay in the desserts but knowing better he flipped to something more wholesome. Hummmmmm.scrabbled eggs, toast, and bacon. Perfect.

When Turtles fly, the prophecy, was it coming true? Yasai looked hard at the man with the symbol on his top and no armor. "Why do you have that there?"
"Oh, I trained under the Turtle master back in my world."
Why the hell would any one train under a master of turtles. "So you did come from another world. What kind of spaceship did you come in? Where did you come from? Why are you here?"
"Huh?"
"Dumbass." Vegeta sneered at Goku then turned to Yasai. "What is in it for us if we tell you anything?"
