A/N:: hullo everyone. I'm going to try to make a serious fic now. This is going to be about an event that happens before the androids arrive on earth. Please give me any types of reviews, I don't care what kind as long as they are helpful.

Disclaimer:: I don't own anything except the character known as Starr Reku. Every thing else belongs to someone who I am going to find. *begins looking for the creator*

Summary:: this involves the whole Z gang, plus my very own character, Starr Reku. Starr is a female saiyan (if I spelled it wrong please let me know) who was trained be Vegeta until she was 7, and by Goku till she was about 15. In this story, the order of power goes as follows; Vegeta, Starr, trunks, goku, gohan, krillin, piccolo. Some vengeful saiyan-haters are searching for starr, or saluna as her saiyan name is, and vegeta. Can the proud sayians defeat their enemy on their own, or will they have to accept help from goku and the others?


False Hope
Chapter 1

The saiyans collided in midair as their attacks struck. Starr smirked as her attack threw vegeta of balance. She landed on the ground, and took her fighting stance. Vegeta did the same, but was scowling something fierce. Starr took a look at her mentor, and couldn't help but laugh out a little.

"what's so funny, saluna?" the no ouji demanded.

"oh nothing, veg-head," the 18-year-old smirked at vegeta's obvious annoyance because of the nickname she had for him ever since she could talk.

"then get back into your stance, girl!" vegeta commanded.

"Nan de mo," starr replied, but she got back into her stance as vegeta 'nicely' asked. The girl charged at vegeta, but he was prepared for the attack. He met her charge with a charge of his own. Vegeta broke the grapple, and jumped into the air. Starr gathered a ki blast in her hand, and launched it at the prince. Vegeta blocked it, but still felt the blast.

The brat's strong, he thought. He counterattacked with his specialty, the final flash attack. As the attack hurtled toward starr, she quickly put up a protective barrier, but that didn't stop the attack completely. Drawing her sword, the saiyan deflected the reminder of the blast into a nearby clearing, causing it to explode. Vegeta landed across from his former student, and smirked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watching the spar match from a safe distance was goku and krillin. Both watched in awe at the speed and power of Starr and Vegeta. Krillin looked at the watch on his arm and sighed.

"they've been going at it for about 4 hours now. don't they ever get tired?"

"who knows, krillin," goku said looking at his bald friend. "all I know is that its almost lunch time, and I'm hungry."

"you're always hungry goku." krill in said turning his head back to the fight. Krill in noticed that another ki was heading towards him and goku.

"hey trunks," krillin said, looking at the boy from the future.

"hey krillin. They're still going at it?"

"yup," goku answered. "the only way they'll stop is if bulma comes out and says its lunch time."

"yeah, that's true," the teen said, watching his father and Starr spar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"ready to give up?" vegeta asked in an almost mocking tone.

"you wish." was the answer that was given to the prince. Starr put away her sword and took her stance as vegeta took his. They were about to go another round, when a voice interrupted them.

"come on you guys, lunch is ready," bulma called from the house. Vegeta scowled and glared at the blued haired woman. Starr smirked at vegeta, and starting walking towards capsule corp..

"we'll finish this later, saluna," vegeta stated, also walking to the house.

Up ahead goku nearly cheered at those seven glorious words.

"lunch, lunch, lunch," goku chanted, pretty much skipping to bulma's location. Behind him. Krillin and trunks sweat dropped at the sight of a skipping goku. Then they too headed towards the house.

"lunch, lunch, lunch," goku continued to chant as he skipped past bulma and into the kitchen. "YIPEEE!" goku grinned as he saw the mountains of food piled of the table. He sat down and was about to chow down when BANG! goku fell out of his chair, and clutched the top of his head. Looking up, he saw chichi standing over him, holding her famous pan-of-death.

"son goku, you know better then to eat before everyone gets here," chichi scolded.

"sorry chi," goku said, looking up at his wife with his puppy-dog pout. Chichi sighed, and put her frying pan back into the invisible pocket from once it came. Goku sat down and waited as krillin, tunks, bulma, Starr, and a scowling vegeta entered the kitchen. Everyone sat down and goku looked at bulma with his puppy-dog pout. Bulma couldn't help but laugh.

"its alright, goku, you can eat now." goku gave bulma a thankful smile, and soon everyone was chowing down. In a short time, the saiyans, and demi-saiyan had succeeded in completely clearing off the table of its food contents. Goku leaned back in his chair, and burped, earning him yet another whacking from chichi.

"chichi," goku whined. "what was that for?" chichi didn't reply, instead she began polishing her frying pan.

"I've gotta find out where she keeps that thing," goku muttered

Vegeta scowled as he saw the pathetic display in front of him.
that must be one hard frying pan, he thought.

"saluna, lets go," vegeta said, addressing the saiyan sitting next to him. Starr nodded, and stood up. Vegeta did the same, and both headed towards the door. Starr pushed open the door, only to reveal that someone was already standing there.

"why hello," the figre said. "it looks like we meet again, prince vegeta, and neo-princess saluna." goku and trunks stood up right away, prepared to fight if need be. Starr took one look at the cloaked figure, and a scowl identical to vegeta's crossed her face.

"Quenandra," starr hissed. Quenandra laughed evilly, and pulled back the cloak hood. There stood a young woman, about starr's age, with light, shimmering green skin. Her raven-black and red highlighted hair was pulled into a braid, and on her left cheek was a scar from a battle long since fought.

"what the hell do you want?" vegeta asked impatiently.

"I want what is rightfully mine." all but Starr and Vegeta looked confused, but Starr drew her sword to let the stranger know that she would fight.

"leave," the female saiyan hissed again. "you won't be getting thing, and unless you want to keep your life, then you should follow my advice!!"

"seems to me that you are making foolish promises, saluna," Quenandra. "that apparently hasn't changed at all." starr made a move to attack, but vegeta stopped her.

"its not wroth it, saluna." he whispered harshly. "save it for later." If starr didn't like the idea, she carefully hid it.

Quenandra laughed again. "better watch your back, monkey, my race isn't as weak as it used to be." starr growled a deep growl, and vegeta glared. Behind them, everyone else stared sightly at the confrontation. Quenandra took no notice, and swiftly left as quietly as she came.

"damn Crusettian," starr muttered.

"uh… who was that?" krillin asked, unsure if it was a safe issue to discuss at the present time.

"a bitch, that's who," vegeta answered.

"she's someone who was under the control of frieza the same time that we were. Me and vegeta were ordered to destroy her planet, so we did. She was forced to watch as we destroyed cruset. Now it seems as though she's looking for revenge. And for her revenge, she wants to take us out," Starr said, giving everyone a much better answer then vegeta did.

"jeez, she's got issues," krillin muttered.

"nah, ya think?" vegeta asked sarcastically. Krillin blushed and suddenly became interested with the floor.

"you think she'll be back?" goku asked.

"she'll be back, especially if she wants this," Starr said as she pulled a strange pearly white orb out of her bag that was attached to her hip. "it's a seeing orb. Quenandra wants it, and I'll guarantee that she wont get it." before anyone could ask anymore questions, starr left the kitchen, vegeta following. Trunks turned to everyone else.

"we're going to have keep a real close eye on both starr and vegeta." everyone silently nodded, and the kitchen fell into silence….
