Sorry for the long wait, I've been really preoccupied with school, work and D&D lately.

Chapter 5: Search for the Dragonballs

Elsewhere another saiyajin space pod was rapidly approaching Vegetasei. "Michelle, I'm letting Elizabeth out now, she should be healed. We should also be landing in 30-40 minutes." Michelle didn't move for she was in a deep meditating trying to figure out what was going on, on Earth. Kakarot sighed and went to help Elizabeth out of the tank.

Once Elizabeth was out of the tank she 'woke' Michelle up and they started talking about recent events leaving Kakarot confused as ever. He just decided to sit near them and pretend he knew what they were talking about.

The elder Namek had agreed to let Juuhachi and Vegeta find the dragon balls. He gave them a dragon radar and told them to have fun finding them on the planet. He also mentioned that they were to find the dragon balls without the help of any of the Nameks and they were not aloud to destroy things. After the elder namek was done explaining everything Juuhachi and Vegeta flew off to the dragon balls.

"Vegeta, what are you planning on wishing for? Since was your idea to find these things in the first place." "I was planning on using up 2 of the wishes, the third one is all yours." Vegeta smiled at Juuhachi. She smiled back at him. "I already know what I'm going to wish for and if the dragon can't grant it, I'll have a plan B." "Well, what's your wish? And your other wish if your first one cannot be granted?" "My first wish is that Satan would leave the Earth and leave it the way it was before he attacked. If that one doesn't work, I'll wish to be really powerful. That way when I return to defeat him. I'll be able to and I'll save the planet." Vegeta was stunned at her answer. He wasn't sure what to say. "Well, if you end up making your second wish, could you wish for me to be powerful also? That way I could help fight this Satan with you." She thinks for a moment then agrees.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep "Huh?" Vegeta looked at the dragon radar he was holding in confusion. "I think it's beeping because there's a dragonball around here dummy." Juuhachi commented teasingly while snatching away the radar. She pressed a few buttons then a flashing light appeared, she followed where the coordinates where and ended up at the side of an ocean. "Great" she muttered. Vegeta simply smirks grabs the radar and flies above the water. "You coming? Or are you trying to watch the way you look? To be quite honest I'll be the only one who will see you wet at the moment. So don't be a chicken." With that said Vegeta dives under water taking a deep breath at the last second. Juuhachi hesitated for a moment then dived in after Vegeta.

She couldn't even see him that's how far down they've gone. The only thing she heard was the beeping sound coming from ahead of her. She was starting to feel uneasy about being so deep underwater. Millions of questions passed through her head by the second. "What if I run out of air?" "What if this is some sort of joke?" "What if the dragon ball isn't here?" "What am I doing here in the first place?" "Where is Vegeta?" She shook her head to clear her thoughts and to concentrate on locating Vegeta's ki. When she finally found it she sighed in relief only to realize that she better head up to the surface and fast.

Sensing the sudden outburst of energy coming from Juuhachi, Vegeta decided it was best to hurry up and get the dragon ball. He was almost there. Just a few feet further to the dragon ball. He was starting to run out of air, but he had to make it or he'd never get home soon. He grabbed the ball and quickly shot up to the surface. When he finally came up to the surface he saw Juuhachi laying half in the water and half in the sand, face down. It looked like something knocked her out, but the nearest ki was miles and miles away. He turned her over and checked for a pulse. There was a faint one. He had to get some air in her lungs and fast! He only knew one way, CPR. He grinned at the thought then immediately started to get to work. A few minutes later Juuhachi started coughing up tons of water. Vegeta had hugged her so quickly it almost chocked her to death. "I've got the dragon ball. Next time if there's any swimming, let me handle it." Juuhachi nods in agreement. "You'll have to teach me to hold my breath for a long time some day Vegeta. It could come in very handy." "Yes, it does come in handy. I'll teach you when we make it home. Kakarot's ship is most likely back by now."

A few hours later they had finally gathered all seven of the dragonballs. They then realized that they couldn't carry all seven of them by themselves. Six? They could handle that, but not seven. After trying to figure out how to do it, they decided that one of them were to get a namek, and they'd make their wishes right there. Vegeta decided that it would be him to leave since he could fly faster. About 20 minutes later he returned with a very young namek. His name was Dende.

"Since I will be telling the dragon in namek what you wish for, tell me your wishes." Vegeta nods then whispers in Dende's ear 'I wish for 18 and myself to be immortal.' Dende's eyes grow wide with shock then he summons the dragon. "You have 3 wishes mortal. What are they?" Dende tells the dragon the wish. The dragon's eyes glow red. "It is done. What is your second wish?" Juuhachi suddenly felt strange, like something in her was changing. Vegeta felt the same way and laughed a little bit at the thought of his wish coming true. Father would certainly be proud of him.

Now to let Juuhachi use up a wish, and the last one would be his. "Dende, let Juuhachi make this wish. I get the last one to wish us home." Dende nods and looks at Juuhachi. "Okay, then. I wish that Satan had never attacked." Dende tells the dragon her wish in Namek. "I'm sorry, but that wish cannot be granted." Juuhachi looks upset, then decides on a new wish. "Then I wish I was as strong as Satan, wait. I wish Vegeta and I were both as strong as him, well stronger than him." Dende translates. The dragon's eyes grow red. "It is done. Tell me your last wish." Juuhachi's and Vegeta's ki flares up all around them. She can feel her own power rise drastically. "Dende, for the last wish. I wish that Juuhachi and I were on Planet Vegeta." Dende makes the wish and they both disappear and reappear before the king.

"Prince Vegeta. You had better have a good explanation for this." King Vegeta was glaring at his son and the female presence with him. He wasn't really impressed with the way she looked. If this was the ancient princess, she seriously needed to train. "Father, I am sorry for just appearing here. This is Juuhachi, my mate. I have made the wish you requested we made father. My mate and I are immortal." Juuhachi's eyes grow wide with surprise, she's about to say something until Prince Vegeta covers her mouth and whispers 'Don't say a thing that's rude or he'll have you tortured for all eternity.' The king simply smiles. 'Maybe she is truly saiyajin after all' he though to himself. "What are you waiting for son? Take the woman away and hurry up. I would like to speak to you alone for a moment." Prince Vegeta sensed Juuhachi power up and slapped her gently as a warning to stop. "As you wish father" Prince Vegeta picked up Juuhachi and left the room. He carries her to another room where she finds her two best friends, Elizabeth and Michelle waiting for her. "Please stay here until I come back. Sorry about my father. He can be rude at times." Prince Vegeta walked out of the room. Leaving Juuhachi behind.

Back at the throne room King Vegeta was getting inpatient. His son finally walked back in. "Father, why is it you hate Juuhachi so much? You just met her!" "Son, that girl looks human! Sure, she has the tail and maybe even the attitude, but she doesn't appear to be full saiyajin. Her hair is blond with curls! You never see that on a saiyajin!" "She did grow up in this life with humans. We just have to teach her how to be like us. That's all. " King Vegeta smirks. "It's up to you to teach her then! Don't forget to bond with her, son." King Vegeta leaves the room. Prince Vegeta stands there; he couldn't believe what his father had said, he would be glad when the old man croaked.
