Neko slowly took the communication device out of the machine, set it on her desk and turned it on.

"Greetings. You know little at this time and I apologize for that but I have been sworn to secrecy. You must come and face your destiny. Remember that forest you visited all those years ago? The one that led to Slegna. I shall be waiting for you there. But listen carefully, this is important. You should come prepared with plenty of food and supplies, this journey may be a long one and will certainly test your limits. Good luck, I look forward to the day we meet."

Neko stared at it blankly. "Oh no. . ." She searched through her lab coat frantically and pulled out a cell phone. She quickly dialed a number and put the phone to her ear. It rang and rang and no answer. "Come on Vegeta, pick up. . ."

"I wish it wasn't so dark in here." Goku whined, starting to get tired from being in his super saiyan form.

"I could transform and let you guys rest for a while."

Vegeta grabbed Kara's shoulder. "Don't. You know how badly it affected you when you did that two months ago."

Kara sighed. "Yeah. . ."

They had been wandering in the darkness for hours. Not long ago they had found an entryway to what seemed to be a maze of stone hallways. The place had a retched musk filling it. Occasionally a rat scurried by or a spider's web blocked their way.

"This is hopeless." Kara let out a painful sigh and leaned against one of the damp walls.

"Kara don't give up." Vegeta grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the wall.

Kara winced at the pain that intensified in her wrist when Vegeta grabbed her.

"I know you're tired and this is very hard for you but when we get back home I'm going to take really good care of you."

"Hey."

Vegeta and Kara looked over at Goku.

"Cheer up, I may have found our ray of hope." Goku pointed down a hallway where something glinted from the golden light he was putting off.

The three of them made their way down the hall and it became clearer what the object was. "A ladder." Goku put his hand on the cool, moist steel. "I'll climb up first to make sure it's stable." He climbed up it, being careful not to slip. When he reached the top he put his hand over his head and tried to push up on the surface. One spot on the ceiling was loose and Goku pushed it up and tossed it aside. Brilliant, golden light flooded down onto them. Goku climbed up through the opening.

"Goku." Vegeta called up to him, "What do you see up there?"

"Holy shit." Was Goku's only response.

"Do you think you can manage flying up there?"

Kara nodded and flew up.

Vegeta followed. He came out and landed beside Kara.

Kara slowly put her hand up to her mouth, "Oh my. . ."

They were standing on top of a grassy hill that overlooked a large city. But everything was different. In the sky there were two suns. A transparent, blue tinted dome covered the enormous city. Machines soared through the air, the buildings were all dome shaped, and though that were at a distance, they could tell that the inhabitants were from may different species they had never seen.

"Vegeta, please tell me you know this place." Kara's voice was shaky.

". . .no. . .all I know is that. . .it's not earth."

"What are we going to do now?"

No one answered. Goku sat down and sighed. "Well we've got to think of something."

"No shit!" Kara yelled.

Vegeta grabbed her from behind just before she could hit Goku. "Kara, calm down."

Kara jerked out of his grip and crossed her arms.

"We should go into the city and find a place to rest."

Goku stood up, "Are you crazy?! Who knows what they'd do to us!"

"If we stay here then we'll be discovered sooner or later. We may as well take a chance."

Goku sighed, "I guess you're right."

"Just remember to mind your manners."

He rolled his eyes, "Yes mom."
