A/N: I know, this may be a little late, but here's the deal... I have FOUR other stories that I'm working on at the same time, not to mention the OTHER stories that I'm not posting right now. Once I finish up War@Home I'll have a tad more time for this here story. Besides, my updating isn't too bad, and the only reason my chapters aren't longer is that my computer won't upload anything more than 1400 words or so. Otherwise, enjoy this chapter!

"So, human, where'd you get that scar? It's certainly an improvement to your ghastly face."
"You bastard... hey, wait a sec, why'd you call me human? You're a human too... aren't you?"
Vegeta simply smirked and unfurled his tail, then effectively snatched Yamucha's sword and held it in his mahogany appendage. The surprised captain fainted on the spot, a foreign symptom for the normally strong human. Vegeta took advantage of this and sliced his body into many neat little pieces.
"Such a pity you were so weak, and you were the captain as well. I suppose I'll just have to fight the siren... she's the only one with any real skills."
Vegeta discontinued talking to Yamucha's corpse and decided to watch the battle between Turles and the blue-haired woman.
"I will KILL you for what you did."
"Brave words. Let's see if your power can match them."
"You think you're some kind of goddess, someone special, don't you?" seethed Turles, whom Bulma was realizing looked startlingly like an older version of Goku.
*But, that's impossible... Goku's not a saiyajin, he doesn't have a brother, and he'd never turn out like this... he was so nice. Then again, look what happened to me.* "No, I'm not special. I'm just a girl who's got nothing better to do than kill. That's all."
"KYAAA!"
Bulma quickly found herself pitted against the brute force of Turles' ki attack, and she blocked it with most of her strength, saving her deadly arsenal for when she was desperately overpowered. The tension on her arms made them strain, and the siren gritted her teeth under the pressure. Finally, she jumped up high and let the beam travel where it willed... which happened to be right where Piccolo was standing.
*Oh shit. He was one of the few people I could stand*
Nappa's beam didn't even get a chance to formulate, as the powerful blast disintegrated the poor Namek on impact, giving him a virtually painless death, which comforted Bulma slightly. No scrap of his body remained, yet Bulma turned her head to the exact spot of where Piccolo once stood.
It was at that moment that Goku finally got to gaze upon the face of the famed savage siren, and he almost reeled in shock. It was almost too much, seeing his former best friend standing on the blood stained deck, no remorse at all on her face.
"Bulma!"
She whipped around to see a saiyajin, clad in an orange and black gi, which was unusual given the scraps of clothing and broken armour that most of them wore. It was very strange armour indeed, almost... alien. Of course, none of that mattered when Bulma realized who called out her name.
"Goku?"
The man opened his mouth to say something, but Goku's words were lost on Bulma, whose world was quickly turning black...
Turles stood there, Bulma in his arms. He had effectively knocked her unconscious, and in his rage, was now ready to snap her neck in two. Of course, Goku would have none of that.
"Don't kill her!"
"Why the hell not Kakarotto? She killed Radditz, or did your puny brain forget that?"
Goku chose to ignore the insult. "I knew her. I TRAINED her. She was a good friend of mine."
Hearing this, Vegeta's eyebrows quirked with interest at Goku's statement.
*So THAT'S how the blue-haired bitch got so strong - Kakarotto taught her to fight. It also explains how she knows that attack. I wonder why he never taught her how to fly... but all the same, how can one human be so STRONG? And a woman at that! It boggles the mind.* "Enough!"
The saiyajin crew turned their attention to their captain, and the two brothers ceased their argument.
"We're taking the bitch with us. She may be of use, her power is vast - it can be harnessed."
"But King Vegeta!"
"Turles, shut up. Radditz was weak, the siren was strong, end of story. The treasure we've managed to tame far outweighs your IDIOT brother's death."
Turles certainly wasn't happy, but he wisely kept his mouth closed. The saiyajin king certainly wasn't known for his kindness in pointing out the truth. The scowling saiyajin DID have to admit - his brother WAS somewhat of an imbecile. Still, he hadn't deserved to die.
*That damn siren, she'll pay. As long as she stays on the ship, I'll make her life a living hell. I promised you I would avenge your death, Radditz, and I always keep my word.*
"Kakarotto."
"Yeah Vegeta?"
*Where the hell is his respect?!* "KING Vegeta. Don't do that again, unless you'd like to be without rations for a few days."
"Okay."
"Carry the bitch onto the ship; place her in my quarters."
"I don't think that's a very good idea, and besides, she's not a bitch."
"Of course she isn't. It's your damn HARPY WOMAN that's the bitch. And WHY, pray tell, would that NOT be a good idea?" seethed Vegeta, ticked off that the earth-bred warrior was questioning his orders AGAIN. It definitely wasn't the first time, and the king had little patience.
"When she wakes up, she's going to freak, and she's going to lash out at the first person she sees."
"Are you IMPLYING, Kakarotto, that I'm not strong enough to keep her at bay?" *How DARE he suggest that!*
"No, but I knew her, and if I can talk to her she won't destroy anything valuable."
Exasperated and fearful for his belongings, Vegeta gave in. "FINE. You can talk to her, be there when she wakes, but she stays in my chambers. Do I make myself clear?"
Goku nodded, amazed and relieved that Vegeta had even agreed. He picked up Bulma's unconscious form and flew over to his ship, while the fearsome pirates know as the saiyajins robbed the other vessel of all its valuables, making sure to get the Prynca dragon items.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Will that do for now? Huh? I'll try to get the next chapter out soon. Don't worry, this story isn't ending for a LONG time, I think it'll be my longest if it works out the way I planned from my most recent plan. Let me know what you think, and thanks for all your support. Over 100 reviews... you guys are awesome!!
