~an~ Yes! More to the story! Whoot! :-P enjoy this and keep reading! ~an~
My eyes slowly began to open, although the world around me was very blurry. I winced slightly as I tried to move my arms, but found soon enough that my arms and legs were chained down to a table. The table looked to be made of stone as my eyes came into focus. I tugged slightly at the chains, trying to break free, but felt extremely weak, as if all my power had been drained. I looked to my side and saw all the Z fighters, including Bulma and Chi Chi tied to metal poles, all looking unconscious. I began to get frantic as I looked around more, deciding I was in some sort of cave. I shut my eyes as I tried to calm myself down ~Ok Alix.calm down.take a deep breath. You can't do anything if you get frantic, so relax~ I took a deep breath and opened my eyes; suddenly realizing I had on a different outfit. It consisted of very baggy white pants that became tight around my ankles, a white tank top that was also very baggy, but tight around the upper half of my stomach where it ended. I also realized that I no longer had my necklace on, which would explain my lack of strength. I heard a slight grunt and turned to the side as I saw Vegeta's eyes begin to open, followed by the look of anger I knew too well by now, "What?! Where am I?!" He struggled slightly as I looked at him, "Some cave, that's all I know". He looked up at me as he heard my voice, pausing his struggling for a moment, "This is all your fault!" I rolled my eyes, looking at him, "Thanks for the blame, but I think we have bigger problems. I'm really weakened for some reason, and we're all chained down, so you need to let us go, Vegeta". He glared for a moment, contemplating the dilemma, slightly amused, I think, that I was in desperate need of his help. After a minute, he went Super Saiyan and broke the chains off his wrist, walking over to me, the others still out of it. He looked down at me, "You have some explaining to do". I nodded, knowing I would have to tell them about my background as a princess. He undid the bonds and I sat up, going to touch my necklace for my own reassurance, but became distraught when I found it wasn't there, "MY NECKLACE!" I felt around for it, but came to the conclusion it was taken off. Vegeta looked at me, "What's so important about that thing anyways?" I sighed, sitting at the edge of the table I was just on, "It harnesses my power.without it, I lose it all and my strength is taken away". Vegeta stood in front of me, "So tell me, woman, why are we here anyways? What do these people want with us?" I sighed, not in the mood for this, "I have no idea who they are or what they want, but I think this has something to do with my being Princess of the Dragon Saiyans." He looked at me, a little confused, "Princess? You?" I nodded, hopping off the table, walking over to a large door, trying to see if I could find a way out. "Yea. I'm the decedent of the royal family that existed on planet Krystel until it was destroyed. They fled to Earth some time ago and their positions as royalty meant nothing anymore with the entire race down to a mere handful". I could feel his eyes on me as I sized up the door, looking at the hinges, deciding it wouldn't be much of a challenge for the Saiyans to simply blast open. It was ordinary rock, which struck me as odd. It was then that something suddenly struck me as even stranger. I remembered once seeing the outfit I was wearing in the Dragon Book as the official outfit of the royal leaders. But who would have known that aside from other direct decedents of the Dragon Saiyans? I stopped, realizing that the people we were dealing with were Dragon Saiyans, but I didn't have time to question how they existed. I turned back to Vegeta, "Vegeta, I need you to get these guys free from the chains. Something tells me were going to be in for quite a battle". I saw him grin and I knew he was up for it, always ready for a new challenge to arise. He quickly went around and broke off all the chains, everyone slowly coming to by now. Trunks sat up, looking over at me. I smiled and ran over, hugging him tightly, closing my eyes as he held me in his arms for the first time in too long. "Are you ok baby?" I heard his voice whisper in my ear. "Yea," I smiled, stepping back "I'm ok". I explained the situation to the others and told them everything I knew thus far, although it really wasn't all that much. It had turned out that everyone had been abducted in a way similar to Trunks; a bright, flashing light, and then nothing. That's what I had seen the night I went to find Trunks in the gym. I took it to assume the light had some hypnotic properties. The entire gang sat up and walked over to me as I stood at the door. Yamcha was the first to talk, "I don't want to lay blame here, but since Alix seems to be the target of this, I'm guessing she's the reason why we're here," he looked over at me now, "so you also probably know why we're all here as well". I nodded, first telling them about my being a princess, seeing the look of confusion that I expected cross all of their faces, all but Piccolo's, that is. He looked as if he knew something, and I wanted to know what, but I couldn't ask now. I walked back to the door, looking at the Saiyans, "Ok, first order of business is to break down this door. It's made of stone, so it should be easy". Goku and Gohan nodded, blasting down the door with much ease, what lay before, though, was something out of a movie. There was a long hall, also stone, covered in pictures and some armor occasionally, all of it looking very prestigious and very royal. I began to get a sense of where I was now. We walked down the hallway, not seeing anyone, and I walked over to Vegeta, speaking softly, "I know that you know something about this. and I'd appreciate it if you told me what it is. I may have lost my strength, but my ability to see emotions hasn't left me". He sweatdropped and looked over, sighing a bit, "I've heard about the Dragon Saiyans before you came along, when I was young back on planet Namek. We were told that the race had been wiped out, all but one man, that is. The man was a wizard who had the ability to bring back and army of Dragon Saiyans of the royal family once the Savior Child was born. All the Namekiens believed this to be a myth, so we thought nothing of it. But now, I see that it is truth, and that there is more to this than what you see". He looked back at me with his serious look, causing a streak of fear to run through my body. I had also heard of this, but never believed it. The only reason the Savior Child would be brought here, from what Kai told me, was because she would bear the Child of Eternity. I was pregnant.
