Part 6
Gohan found his mothers hand egg beater in a drawer and placed it in the bowl with the dripping mess. With the wooden handle gripped tightly in his hand he began to beat the eggs furiously. Splatters of egg and shell painted the walls. Stopping for a moment to look at his hand Gohan just now noticed that it was covered in slop. "Ops.heh don't know my own strength."
Step #2: pour mixture into a pan on stove on high.
"Boy, this is harder than it looks!" Gohan dug around the room with his slimy hands for a frying pan.

"I suppose you could say that curiosity killed the cat. I was more interested in what they had to say than you." Yasai crossed her arms.
"Give me a damn break you're a monkey and never a cat." Erato purred.
"Hmph, Maybe so." Yasai smiled.
******
Tenno slowly pulled himself up from the floor and rushed to find one of the sayinjin guards. They are waking! They are waking!
******
Bromios was enjoying regular guard duty for a change, since he had found the two females a few hours ago he had been placed close to where they were being repaired. Not for any particular reason, but that he had found them. Kizk had talked to him not long ago and wanted to know as soon as they woke. In fact, he made it a direct order.
Peeling some of their dried blood of his armor was how Tenno found him. Flicking it absently with his fingers he looked up at Tenno. "What the hell do you want slave?"
"There are waking!" Tenno gasped having just run through the halls to find him.
Bromios didn't listen to him the moment he had pronounced the first syllable he had flown toward the regeneration rooms in a gust of wind.
Tenno gathered his energy in short muster and jogged after the sayainjin.
*******
Vegeta for one of the few times in his life had no idea what to say. Yasai yawned and began asking the female who entered the room some questions.
"Ok, so what is it that is sooo important that you must tell me? Has your normal report gotten that interesting?"
Frowning the female answered. "Well, you know our deal, I tell you of the palace happenings and you will send me back to my home kingdom when the time comes."
"Right." Yasai flicked an invisible piece of dust off her armor.
"Well, I came to tell you of the preparations of the coronation and some interesting turn out today."
"Go on."
"There is going to be a huge feast, as usual, I swear you sayainjins eat sooo much,"
Yasai raised an eyebrow.
"Anyway, myself and a few others from the harem will be dancing. I figured that maybe useful if there is anything you want to know from the guards or something. They are all more than willing to help." She smiled and winked.
"Is there anything you know about the blasts earlier today?" Yasai patiently waited.
"Well, actually there were some strange explosions earlier today. One of the palace guards happened to be under one of them- and get this, it started raining females! Ha! Two women just fell out of nowhere!"
Yasai perked up at this, "Really? Right where there was an explosion?"
"Yup! My brother said the King was very interested in them if you know what I mean. Problem is they don't seem to be able to handle the strong gravity here on Vegetasai. But man that one chick, she had the bluest hair! It was all matted in blood, but still, it was crazy blue!"
Vegeta cringed in the corner. That sounded like Bulma. Had she come through the portal after them? Sounded like the foolish woman. Damn it!
"And that other chick, she could pass for a sayainjin with her frown and all. My brother said she even looked like one!"
"Vegeta, do you think that could be Bulma and Chi-chi?" Goku wonderingly asked Vegeta interrupting the flow of conversation.
Leave it to him to say something stupid Vegeta mumbled under his breath then said louder, "Of course it's them, you idiot!".
*******
Trunks looked in wonder as Goten's mouth slowly disappeared from his face. This sure was not a game anymore and with not being able to power up was only making it worse. What now? He reached in his shirt looking for the dragon's star. Maybe they should go home. His fingers gripped only air and the front of his shirt. Oh shit! He must have dropped it in his fight earlier!
"Hebe, why not teach the other one a lesson too. I mean so he can be just like his dear friend here."
"Of course! How could I forget my manners!" Hebe snapped her fingers and slowly, Trunks's precious eating tool disappeared.
******* "Excuse me, but could you possibly be talking about Chi-chi and Bluma?" Goku asked as politely as he knew how.
"Katorot! How the hell are they suppose to know who those two women are?" Vegeta couldn't believe he was stuck with Katorot.
"Katorot? That's a sayianjin name. In fact it's the name of a baby that was delivered about two years ago. My brother had to be there for all the techno and paper work stuff." Erato eyed Goku with a suspicion. "You wouldn't happen to be related would you?"
"Huh? I don't know."
******* Out in the woods, about where Trunks and Goten had landed, a squad of sayianjins searched the area. Slowly scanning the area with a fine-tooth comb.
"I can't believe we have to do this, of all the other things we could be doing. I mean who ever heard of going out and to find what other femal-"
"Shut up!" The squad leader barked. "I am tired of your sniveling."
"Really Bardock! You know we could be out conquering a planet, but nooo here we are out looking-"
"I said SHUT THE HELL UP!" Bardock turned on him. "We are here, because of orders. Do you want to be the one not to follow them?"
"No, sir."
Under his breath Bardock continued to search the ground. He was more interested in that than what he was supposed to be doing. It was way too late for anything to still be here at where the strange sounds were anyway. In the ground there was footprints but they disappeared in the bushes. The only funny thing was that they were all very small and far apart. Maybe there was some fight? Not much of one. Bardock stooped and ran a finger long on of the tracks. Very small tracks.
******* "So you would be related to all these people who came from the blasts? Am I right?" Yasai looked a bit excited. "And maybe you are interested in getting into the palace to get those aliens out of course?"
"And if we were?" Vegeta wondered exactly what Yasai was getting at.
"Well, it just so happens that tomorrow I had plans on visiting the palace myself."
"Really? May I ask why?"
"No." Yasai grinned.
Vegeta about a had a nervous break down. Yasai never came to the palace on his coronation. Some how the past was changing, and it couldn't be good.
******* Bardock reached through the brambles, after having watched and relived the fight through the footprints, he noticed something one of them had dropped. A red stone star covered in mud and stuck in the root of a tree. Slowly he twisted it out and pushed his thumb against it. Some of the mud came off relieving the blood red shine. Quickly he tucked it in his armor. No way he was going to give this to the King. Besides he found it and the King was not looking for it anyway.
******* Bromios stared at the two females in the regeneration tanks. Wet and clothed in tattered garments they began to breathe faster as they came around. "Don't just stand there! Help them out of the tanks!" Bromios barked.
Tenno stepped up to the side of the streamlined tank to help the closest of them. They were not awake, yet, but breathing steadily. Tenno tenderly placed his tail around the blue haired one's waist and then reached out with his clawed hands to take hold of her shoulders.
Bulma's eyes snapped open and glared at two very intense blue slits.and screamed.
******* Trunks stuck his finger in the corner of his mouth were it was closing. Maybe he would be able to pry it open once it closed. Had he still had his mouth he would have felt the corners up turn.
"Thinks he's smart, does he?" Hebe twisted her staff. "Let's see if you like this one!"
******* Tenno jumped back from the sound and let go of Bulma's shoulders, but his tail was still rapped tightly around her as she stumbled when he let go. Bromios stepped up to help pull her from the tank.
"Let go of me you Bastard!" Bulma kicked out with her feet connecting with Bromios's shin. Of course it did nothing and he merely smacked her across the face.
"You will, of course, keep your manners when you are taken before the King."
"What?! Where's Goku? I want to see Goku!" Bulma wildly shook her head and screamed.
"SILENCE!!!"
Bulma stopped in surprise and pain.
Kizk stood in the doorway. "Bromios you were suppose to get me when they woke." He said in a very mild angry voice that made it all the more dangerous.
"There.wa.was no time." Bromios stuttered.
"Slave, what was the first thing Bromios did when you told him?"
"He came right he sir."
"Surely you don't think I would not tell you on purpose." Bromios looked Kizk in the eye.
"I was hoping you would not be so stupid as to do so." Kizk raised his 65- lazer cylinder and pointed it at Bromios. "Too bad you are stupid."
Bromios grabbed behind him and the first thing his hand found was a tray of thin metal tools, which he flung at the sayinjin in front of him.
"ACK!" Kizk raised his other arm without the 65-lazer cylinder to shield his eyes. The air was showered with the tools.
Tenno pulled into the corner with Bulma and slid a chair in front of them for some limited protection.
Bromios rushed at Kizk and sliced out with his arm to attack the latter's hand. Kizk screeched and dropped the gun were it slid across the ground. Bromios cursed the fact that he had broken his when the two females had fallen on him. Reaching out Bromios made a grab at Kizk's scouter. No need for him to transmit or record what was going on.
"Fool!" Kizk stepped half out of the way and swung his foot around.
Bromios fell hard having been tripped. Rolling as soon as he hit the floor, Kizk's hand grazed his cheek. Righting himself with two back-flips Bromios wiped his own blood with the back of his hand. The scratch on his face left a bloody streak across his glove. So much for being careful.
******* Chi-chi blinked dazed. What is all that noise!? Opening her eyes she looked around. Holy Kami! I am not in Kansas anymore.
Between the fighting Chi-chi could see, from the open regeneration tank, Bulma waving frantically at her from a corner. Pointing to something. What is she doing? Then it caught her eye. A small cylinder firearm was about a leg's length away from her. Bulma began to mouth the words "GET IT!"
Chi-chi stretched her leg out and with her toes and touched the cool feeling metal. Hooking her toes she racked it toward herself. It made a small scratching noise as she pulled it across the floor.
The sayinjins fighting each other by wrestling on the floor turned and looked at her. There was a deafening silence in which Chi-chi stared back at them.
******* Piccolo stood in the empty doorway off the lookout's library. "This is becoming ridiculous." He grumbled.
"But I have already found out so much, Piccolo! I mean take a look at this." Dende held up a rather old looking book with a thick bind. "See, here it is talking about the Third Dimension's aurora."
"It's what?" Piccolo questioned.
"The Dimension's aurora is like it's set of rules. Like we have a rule of gravity."
"Ok, so what."
"Well, it says here that the Third Dimension's aurora is powerless."
"What?"
"Not like that. It has plenty of power over everything, but the set of rules don't allow anything else to have power."
"An example?"
"Well, let's say that Goku went super sayinjin, right?"
"Ok."
"Well, with this dimension's aurora it would all be absorbed. He would never make it to super sayinjin. His energy would slip away to the aurora making it stronger than before."
"He won't be able to power up? Nobody would be able to?"
"Precisely."
Gohan found his mothers hand egg beater in a drawer and placed it in the bowl with the dripping mess. With the wooden handle gripped tightly in his hand he began to beat the eggs furiously.
