[ A.N~ I do not own DBZ...the only things in the fic that I actually own are Queen Shunjuki Mitzudera, Princess Kyoto, the planet Ryain, Kyoto's father, the clothes that Kyoto wears...and the Hybrin fat that got dumped on Shunjuki's head when she and Vegeta were little. Here's chapter 2...it's a little longer than the other chapters...I REALLY suck at this chapter thing. I just went through my story and said 'This is a chapter...and this is a chapter'...if I DIDN'T split it up into chapters...it wouldn't be here right now and it would be really LOOOOOOOOOOOONG. So...here it is...enjoy.]

When Two Worlds Collide- Chapter 2



Just as Krillin had said, when they landed they found a ship. It wasn't very big, more like an escape pod. They walked over and opened the pod to see a face blink up at them, shielding her eyes from the light.

"Have...have a reached the planet Vegeta?" The woman asked in a hoarse voice, as she was helped out of the pod. She was very badly beaten, she had many scars and bruises on her face. Her clothes were torn to rags, barely covering her pale skin. Her hair was a long ebony black, and was badly singed, and her left arm seemed to be broken. She looked to be in her mid to late forties.

Vegeta was quite surprised to hear the name of his home planet, and started to wonder who this woman was, and why she wanted to get to the now destroyed planet.

"I'm sorry miss," Goku said, "but the planet you are on is called Earth." The woman looked Goku over.

"But, you are a sayain, are you not? You have the aura of a sayain." She said. Vegeta boiled over.

"What's it to you if he's a sayain. And what business do you have wanting to get to planet Vegeta?" He demanded. The woman looked over at Vegeta, an amused expression on her face.

"Prince Vegeta," She said, bowing her head slightly. "I would recognize your...colourful personality anywhere." Everyone looked at her stunned, Vegeta even more so.

"Who are you? And how the hell do you know my name?"

"You man you don't recognize me? What a pity. I am Shunjuki Mitzudera, Queen of the Ryain race." The woman answered, holding the best regal pose she could with a broken arm. Vegeta looked more stunned than before.

"Sh ... Shunjuki?" He said. Queen Shunjuki nodded. "What in the hell are you doing here?" Shunjuki winced in pain as she tried to move her arm.

"Do not worry Vegeta, all will be revealed. In the mean time, it appears I am in need of your assistance." Just then, they heard a second voice come from the pod.

"What in the ... get your bloody hands off me this instant." Everyone looked to see Goten reaching into the pod. A moment later they heard a loud crack, and Goten went flying backwards across the field. They looked back to see a young girl climb out of the pod.

She looked about seventeen, with long, vibrant red hair. One could mistake it for fire. It was half pulled up into two buns covered with white cloth and tied with ribbons, while the other half was left down. She had deep emerald green eyes under heavyset eyebrows; her pale skin was smudged and dirty. She also was badly beaten, and her clothes were also torn to rags. She glared down at Goten.

"Touch me again scumbag, and I'll really knock it to ya!" She yelled, and attempted to climb down, but ended up tripping on the edge and tumbling out. She stood up quickly, looking like she was going to kill someone as she clutched a sprained wrist. Shunjuki turned back to the others and smiled.

"I would like to introduce my daughter Kyoto, princess of the Ryains'." Everyone except Vegeta and, a shaken up Goten bowed to the princess. She in turn rolled her eyes.

"I hate it when people do that." Kyoto muttered.

"In the mean time," Krillin started, "Let's get you back to Bulmas' and get you both fixed up." Shunjuki smiled gratefully at him.

"My daughter and I are eternally grateful for your hospitality. But I must know ... who is this Bulma you speak of?" She asked. Vegeta was about to tell Shunjuki that it was none of her business, but Goten answered before he could speak.

"Bulma is Vegetas' wife." He said. Vegeta smacked his head in embarrassment as Shunjuki looked at him with astonishment.

"A woman brave enough to marry Vegeta? Well then, I must meet this courageous woman. But I am afraid that both my daughter and I are low on energy, and neither of us is able to fly." Kyoto nodded, affirming her mothers' statement. Goku smiled.

"You won't have to." He said, "I could take you using my instant transmission technique. You won't have to do anything. And when we get there, we can get you the help you need."

"Your gratitude will not go un-rewarded young man. Please, tell me your name." Shunjuki requested.

"Oh ... well, my name is Goku. Those are my sons, Gohan and Goten. That's my best friend Krillin. And, well, you already know Vegeta." Shunjuki nodded. Suddenly they heard a loud groan, and turned to see Kyotos' hand grip her head, and she fainted. Gohan grabbed her before she could hit the ground.

"We have to get back, now." Goku said, touching Shunjuki and Kyoto on the shoulder, and in a split second they were gone.
