16. 'Thank you' note



In the dark the prince glanced outside. So close he had been. And still no trace. Oh they followed the limping ship. Found it heading into a sun as well. Off course it had been abandoned. Ah well. Soon he would get his cruiser and get her A servant entered weary.

"Sire? We have an incoming transmission for the dark prince, sire. It's from a woman who calls herself princess Vegeta It's a 3-D holographic message."

"3-D? Not many have that technologysend it through and leave me alone. I wish no interruptions." The man bowed deep. She contacting him? Wonderful. Perhaps she changed her mind about those despicable weaklings. Before him, in the dark, 3 others stood with chains to the floor. Two women and a man. All adults and resigned to their fate. Though now on the pause. They glanced up confused at the name as an apparatus rose from the ground. He grinned dark.

"Don't get your hopes up!" He snarled at them. Instantly they hung their faces. While alert. An image wavering came in existence. Vegeta standing regal in full attire. Including red cape glanced at him. Crossed arms and tail wrapped around her waist. Like her hair black reddish.

-The dark prince I presume?- She stated cool. He bowed slightly.
"Princes Vegeta I presume?" She nodded calmly. Not noticing the shadows that glanced up amazed. They only saw her backbut her stanceher hairher voicesomeone they could trust? Maybe someone who could save them?

"To what do I ow this privilege" He asked as he walked up too the holographic viewer.
-My gratitude- Three faces hung again. Vegeta proceeded. -We stumbled upon an encrypted message. And couldn't help but wonder what it contained. It was cracked in a few hoursand to my astonishment they were plans to an advanced vesselAnd as I might add, you-

"WAIT" He growled. "The white star?"
-The same. It is now ours after your fighters attacked us. It only seemed fair, one ship for another.- She smirked as she stated it coyly. Three heads rose again hopeful. She nicked his ship?

"Mymy prototypeyou stole my prototype" He stammered before cracking up. "What a stunt. I'm impressed" He sneered back. "Yet I should have know better then to underestimate a royal descendant from the kings lineage" Behind her vision they gasped and glanced at the other. Their queen? They thought the dark prince was the last

-Thank you. I do tend to do the unexpected. I wished to inform you of this and gloat at your face personally. A name is just a name.-

"Trueand gloating you did. Now allow me." She eyed him evenly. He walked around her as she turned with him. That was the fun of it. These babies could create a whole room. And it could be on the other side of the system! "Unlike the WhiteStar, mine has more advanced Holographic systems. This is their original ship see?" he continued.

-Their?-
"Huh? Oh yes. I killed them." He waved it away carelessly. "They were annoying about peace and such. My grandfather wasn't half as patient as I am. No self control at all. Its what got him killed."
-And this information concerns me because?-

"You probably want these three?" Lights were activated and blinking in pain of the sudden light three dressed in rags Saiya-jin frowned. Protecting their dirty faces with their arms as the prince grabbed them in a bear hug and smirked back. They tried to fight him failing miserably.

"Pfffewyou guys smell" She hid her startle well and was glad her arms already were crossed because she felt faint. Okaynow keep up appearancebecause if she respond like it was important for her, he'd have her in a corner
-And why again does this concerns me?- She eyed him with ice-cold black eyes. Looking like granite as she stood like that. Unbreakable, and far from interested.

"Hmminteresting. Perhaps you over looked these?" he yanked up and hand full of messy unkempt tail.
-I noticed. Unlike some I am not blind.- She snorted disdain. Hmm touchy? He mused. Renowned for that

"Oh, I just thought you would mind if I'd kill them. Seeing as there are so few left"
-Perhapsbut far from regal to murder low class defenceless civilians. I fail to see either logic or honour in that action. Why waist your ki on them? Do they deserve that honour?- He tilted his headhmm. He pulled the hair of one woman. Comparing it to Vegeta's immaculate appearance. She was the real thing while this disgusted he pushed her on the ground. Eying his black glove. Could it already be stained?

-Why do I even bother looking at someone who's shielding his face by a cloak. I even prefer talking to those three over a piece of fabric. What are your names?- She asked calm. They blinkedshe spoke tothem? One feeling brave eyed the prince weary.

"Soria your highness" The second woman got back up and her eyes darted from Vegeta to the prince who glared at them from under his hood.
"Keshena. Highness"
"And I am Atone highness" the male stated also on guard. Vegeta turned to the caped and hooded male.

-As you see, I dislike people shying away from me. And I will proceed with talking ONLY to them if you do not remove that ridiculous hood.- suddenly he flashed green gold as the hood waved off. This time barely holding composure Vegeta eyed the super Saiya-jinhis tail like a steel band around his waist as he waved a finger at her. only thing that betrayed shock was a quick blinking.

-Wellimpressing.- She managed calm. But had no idea how. Must be the bloodTHANK YOU. -Two can do that.- she without flinching flashed gold as well. The three sunk on their knees. Huh? He started grinning, before howling his pleasure.

"HAH, I new you'd do that." She humped.
-Is that so? I have a proposition.- he glanced up pleased.
"Indeed? Well do tell."

-One meeting. For these three. And both will depart again. No dirty tricks or the deal is off.-
"Hmmonly a meeting? For three lost Saiya-jin?" he muttered dramatic.
-What are these three to you? Their unkempt, dirty, probably smelly, and starved. And it saves you the humiliation of having to blast them.- he humped as he eyed the three.

"Very wellbut you will stay one day with me ALONE. No tricks from you either" She smirked cold.
-Are you deaf? I said a MEETING. No day, no dinner appointment. A meeting. Don't make me change my mind.- she warned as she almost turned her back to him. Eying him side-wards.

"Very wellwhere do you wish it? I suggest a neutral planet. You wouldn't like it at my ship and I wouldn't like it on yours."
-Agreed. Call a planet. It's nothing to me.-
"I betnot with WhiteStar" He mused sarcastic as she smiled faint. "Rhondahl. Rhondahl-sei. It only has vegetation there. In one day. It's not far at all"

-Agreed. You will take these three with you and you will be on planeside first.-
"Scared for little old me?" He snickered. "Granted." She laughed scornful.
-Scared? Of you? Pleaseyou're a joker for sure.- he shrugged. Un-phased.
"So be it. We shall meet soon. Burori out."

On WhiteStar Vegeta sunk shivering on the ground. Clasping her arms around her. She felt like faintingwhy didn't she?
"Vegeta? Are you okay? I thought you were cracking up!" Bardock asked worried as he eyed her pale face.

"Didn't you see them?" she stammered.
"See whom? Looked like you talked to air!"
"Wehave a super Saiya-jin problemthe dark prince is a super Saiya-jin" She muttered. Glancing desperate up at Bardock whom wasn't used at that expression in Vegeta's face. 'He has three Saiya-jin hostagemaybe more" She rose determent and shrugged her fright off until she had time for it. Bardock rose as well and ran after her waving cape. The information only just getting thoughWHAT!!! IMPOSSIBLE!

Vegeta without a word breezed into the bridge and all the others saw was the flashing of a red cape before the door of the captains room closed. And suddenly Gokuu was gone as well. As was Zorn? Dropping Zorn on the ground Vegeta whirled around before the window.

"We have a code red" She began stiff.
"A what? Why?" Zorn rose and gasped. Her attire! Her eyesroyal mode. Like an automate he rose and stood before her as he would before the king. It had been too drilled in.

"Sire?"

"I just spoke with the dark prince" She lifted a gloved hand. 'Don't ask. It was stupid to do so. But he is a super Saiya-jin as well. Not only that, he has three Saiya-jin he wanted to kill for my viewing pleasureI prevented it. As payment he wants a meeting on Rhondahl-sei, tomorrowhe'll hand them over in our care then. Two women and a man." She turned in thoughts. Zorn."

"Sire?" he replied while digesting the news with difficulty.
"Do you know someone called Burori?" he paced back in shock as if she hit him in the face. Her face turned worried. "You do, spill it!"

"Thelegendary Saiya-jinborn with high ratingwas a threat to the planet.and the other Saiya-jinhis father pleatedI held him back whileI put a KNIFE though him! It can't be!" He stammered in shock. Gokuu stood in a corner. Trying to go unnoticed. Worked so far.

"You seelegendary Saiya-jin are mentally unstable from birththeir heads cannot contain the powerthat's why we were worried about you and Gokuubut you both turned out fine" she nodded.
"Well we workedno our ancestors worked hard for itis there more?" Zorn shook his head.

"It's all I knowbut he lived? I cannot see howand the explosion of the planetit can't be" She walked up and shook the poor Saiya-jin.

"SNAP OUT! He did love! And his grandson is our adversary!" Gokuu eyed her stunned. What was with her! she never did that! She was soregal! More so then years before when she ACTED like one. Now she just was, but her responses and actions! She glanced at Gokuu suddenly who startled. Thinking she never noticed his entrance

"You two, get out I need to think. Take him to sickbay, he's in shock." Shaking Zorn eyed her, as Gokuu gulping nodded and guided him out. Feeling tired she fell in the chair and rubbed her headbut why now?

Yemma the god shook his head as many kaio's howled at him.

"LET THEM OUT!! HE'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING! GET THEM BACK!"

"SHUT UPPP. I already forcefully merged them! IT'S TOO HARD!" Baba the old witch hovered to beside the angry four Kaio's.

"I KNOW WHAT HE DID! HE BLEW MY CORNER UP!" South Kaio howled.
"You could" Baba tried. But another yelled up. West Kaio.

"GET GOKUU HE'LL GET HIM!"
"Not without Vegeta he won't. besides they had no chance alone before remember!" Yemma yelled back. All kaio's stood on his desk and just screamed at him!

"Like I said you could" Baba glanced around weary, just as she wanted to speak on Shin arrived.

"YOU HAVE TOO" He glanced around. Crowded.The kaio's eyed him amazed. First time they saw the supreme! On a motor cycle Supreme Kaio crossed over.

"YOH DUDES WE GOT SHIT!!! Ohhi guys" Baba turned red in the face and yelled out for them to shut up. Sweat dropping she glared around on her floating crystal ball.

"FINE. Well you can turn them in GHOSTS. Only their incarnations will have to see them." Yemma tapped his chin as the others started discussing it.

"Okay" Shin glanced up.
"I shall assist." He stated. Yemma glowed in pride. The supreme helping himwith what actually, it was HIS job.
"There, done. First voices in their heads, now they'll see ghosts" West Kaio muttered.
"I pity the girl, that Vegeta is such a grudge." The only female Kaio muttered back.
"Now calm down. He did love his family. He just had adaptation problems." Yemma sputtered. Thinking about his demolished palaceyeah..
