Planet of the Saiyans

Chapter Two: New Places

"Um… Bulma-san?" Gohan whispered softly as he attempted to wake the sleeping woman.  "Bulma-san?"

Bulma shot up in her chair, "Huh?  What?  What's happening?"  She looked over at the small boy next to her chair, "Oh,

Gohan, it's you.  Sorry about that…  Did you want something?"

"Um… I-I was reading my book and there's this thing called gravity…  What if the planet we land on has higher gravity?  Won't all of us be crushed?" he asked quietly.

"That's right!  Thank you Gohan!  You'll make a great scientist one day!  I can't believe I didn't think of this…  Now I have to figure out how to stabilize gravity in a single area…  Hmmm…" Bulma walked off muttering to herself about gravity.

'If that's what scientists are like,' Gohan thought, 'I'm not so sure I want to be one…'

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Yamcha found Bulma sitting in her lab on the bottom floor of the ship, bent over a desk, writing furiously.  "Hey Babe," he whispered sexily in her ear.

"I'm busy Yamcha, go bother someone else," she muttered not looking up from her work. 

"Come on Babe, I want you," he moaned.

Bulma growled in frustration, "You know damn well I wouldn't do that with you!  Go jack off or something…"

"That was cold," Krillen muttered from the doorway.

"Hey K-man, how's it goin'?" Bulma asked.

"Good, um… Bulma, where's the food?  Goku's hungry and he's going to throw a fit if he doesn't get food soon."

"Yeah, just a second."  She closed up her book of schematics and headed to the main level of the ship.  "You guys hungry up here?"

Goku's stomach answered for him with a loud growl, and he blushed and scratched his head.

Bulma chuckled at her young friend and led him and the others to a large freezer in the supplies area of the ship.

The freezer was large enough to hold enough food for a regular human family to live on for a year or two, but these were not regular humans.  Goku always ate enough to feed a small army, and Gohan ate just under that.  Bulma had a sneaking suspicion that these two weren't exactly human.  How many times do you find a family where being born with a tail is a normal thing?  She didn't really care, but she always planned for there large appetites.

"Bulma-chan, I don't think that is gunna hold enough food for us for several months…" Goku worried.  He totally missed the evil glare his wife gave him when he said 'Bulma-chan.'

His older friend smiled, "Don't worry Son-kun."  She pulled open the large door to reveal shelf upon shelf of rows of food capsules.  "There's enough here for an army of Goku's and Gohan's to eat for about six months.  I really wouldn't worry about going hungry."

Gohan's face lit up, "That's all food?"

"Yep," Bulma replied with a smile.  If it were up to her this kid would lose his shyness before they end of the trip.  "Now let's see…" She pulled out three capsules and closed the door.

"You might want to put a lock on there," Krillen whispered up to her.

"That's not a bad idea…  Who knows when Goku might get an urge for a midnight snack?  He could eat all the food, and not even realize it…"

"How dare you suggest that my Goku would do such a thing?!  I don't know why he considers you his friends…" Chi-Chi screeched causing all occupants of the ship and a few on nearby planets to cover their ears.

The tall warrior patted his wife on eth shoulder lightly, "It's all right Chi, they're probably right.  I do that at home all the time, remember?"

"Mom," Gohan piped up, "can we eat now?"

The angry woman's face softened and patted her young son on the head, "Of course Gohan."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Have you found anyone for the Head Scientist job yet Bardock?" King Vegeta asked as the two walked towards the throne room for the meeting with the leaders who wanted a peace treaty with the now all-powerful Saiyan Empire.

Bardock shook his head sadly, "I'm sorry My King, there doesn't seem that there is anyone who wants to work for you after you destroyed- I mean….. The last several Head Scientists met their untimely ends.  They don't trust you, no matter how powerful you may be with your new transformation."

"Damn it!  I want someone here by next month or there will be hell to pay!"  The Saiyan King stormed through the giant doors to the throne room, leaving a bewildered Bardock to find him a Head Scientist.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Back on Bulma's Ship a Few Weeks Later

"It's really simple.  All you do is put the watch on like this, push the button, and poof; you can walk through any gravity with out even feeling the difference.  Or you can wear it and it will increase the gravity.  You guys could probably use it for a training device eventually, I just have to figure out how to get it to increase gravity that much."

"That's great Bulma!" Goku cheered as he tried to slip on of the small wristwatches on to his arm, but it just didn't seem to fit.  "Um….. Bulma-chan, it doesn't fit me….." the tall warrior muttered sheepishly.

She gave him a soft smile, "I planned on that Goku.  You are just too big of a guy, you know that?"  The heiress pulled out a watch with a larger band on it and slipped it on to her friend's wrist.  "There you go, perfect!"

Goku blushed, "Thanks Bulma."

Chi-Chi gave the older woman a suspicious look as she strapped a watch onto her son's wrist.  "Gohan, don't you ever take this thing off, okay?  It looks really expensive, and we can't afford to pay Mrs. Briefs for another one."

"Yes Mother," the small boy answered quietly.  "Um….. Bulma-san?  When are we gunna get to this new planet?"

"Probably in a few hours Gohan.  Why don't you go take a nap or something?  You don't want to be tired when we land, now do you?

He nodded and headed for his room.  "Good night Mom!"

Chi-Chi smiled at her son as he headed to his room.  Soon after Goku, Krillen, and Yamcha left to do 'something productive' in Yamcha's words.  "How did you do that?"

"Do what?" Bulma asked.

"Get Gohan to take a nap?  I can never get him to take a nap.  How did you get him to do it?"

"I don't know…..  I guess I'm good with kids or something….."

"Why did you want to come out to space?  It's so….. Empty….." the raven-haired woman asked as she stared out the window at the vast blackness.

The Capsule Corp. heiress joined her, "I don't know.  I just thought I had to.  There's something out here for me…..  I just don't know what it is….."

"Goku says that too….. He thinks there's something in space that he's missing.  Like something is calling to him….."

"I think I know how he feels, but you don't have to worry.  The same thing isn't calling Goku and me.  I know you worry about that.  Your husband is the best friend I've ever had, and he's like my big brother, even if he is four years younger than me….."

Chi-Chi smiled and the two women waited for the ship to reach the new planet. 

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sire?" Bardock called into the empty throne room.  "Sire are you in here?"  He had some news for the prince that he couldn't wait to tell him.  Hopefully it would make the prince less irritable.  For the week or so the prince had been growing grouchier about the lack of head scientist on his planet.  Vegeta-sei's technology was unbearable and it lacked usefulness, and it was really beginning to piss the prince off.  "Damn it, where did that boy go?"

"I'm right here Bardock.  What do you want?" the Dark Prince stood in the shadows of the dark throne room.

"Sire, there is a ship headed this way.  It's unlike anything we've ever seen before.  Who ever constructed this ship would have to be one of the greatest minds in the universe.  What do you think we should do?"

"Hail them.  We need to know who built this ship," Vegeta replied without a note of excitement in his voice.

The older Saiyan nodded, "Yes, My King."  He headed out of the throne room to the communication station.  "Hello," Bardock began in his conversation with the ship that was headed their way. 

~*~*~*~*~*~

Chi-Chi perked up in her chair as she thought she heard a male voice that sounded a great deal like her husband.  "Bulma did you hear that?"

Bulma looked up from the book she had been reading, "Hmmm?  Hear what?"

"That voice….. It sounded like Goku, but he's asleep in the other room….."

"Maybe you're imagining things."

"I know I heard a voice coming from the cockpit!"

"Fine, we'll go check this voice out."  The aqua-haired beauty led her newfound friend to the cockpit where they found that the radio seemed to be picking up a signal from a near by planet.  "What the heck?"  She picked up the radio and spoke into the microphone, "Hello?"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Bardock was shocked when he heard a woman's voice reply over the loud speaker.  "I would like to speak to the captain of your ship woman."

"That would be me man," the voice replied.

"A woman is the captain of a ship….." the Saiyan muttered, "that is very strange."

"I heard that!" the voice spoke up.

"Right, this is the planet Vegeta-sei of the Saiyans.  We request that you land on our planet as soon as possible.  Our King wishes to speak to the captain of your ship."

"Okay, we'll be there in a few minutes," the voice replied as if it weren't a big deal to land on some strange planet.  The radio clicked to signal that the ship on the other end had hung up.

"What a strange race they must be to trust a woman to be the pilot of their ship….."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Chi, why don't you go get Gohan and Goku, and I'll get Yamcha, Krillen and Puar.  They need to know that we'll be landing in a few minutes," Bulma said.

The raven-haired woman nodded and went off in search of her husband and son while Bulma searched for her boyfriend, his talking cat, and the bald monk.  When the Capsule Corp heiress found her boyfriend, he was sprawled out across his bed asleep with his blue cat resting on his stomach.  Bulma gently lifted Puar off of him and gave her sleeping boyfriend a good kick in the side.  "This is what you call doing something productive eh?"

"Hey, Bulma Babe, I must have fallen asleep.  I guess I was more tired than I thought; would you let me go back to sleep?"

His girlfriend just growled and stormed back to the front of the ship where she found the intercom.  "We will be landing in a few moments.  Anyone who wishes to live should have his or her butt in a chair within the next few seconds.  Anyone who doesn't get this accomplished will be squashed when we land.  If you think this fate may be painful, then I suggest you get your bum out of bed and get it to the cockpit.  Thank you for your time."

That did it.  Yamcha, Krillen, Goku, Gohan, and Chi-Chi all appeared in the doorway at once. 

"I thought so.  Now sit down."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sire, I hailed the ship, and the captain said they would be here in a few minutes.  Would you like to greet them when they land?"

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea.  I will have to speak to the captain at some point, won't I?  Let's go then Bardock."  Vegeta stood from his throne and began the walk to the landing dock near the palace.  As he strolled across the large lawn he spotted the ship slowly descending towards them.  When they reached the landing dock the ship's engines had already stopped and a ramp was now slowly descending from the side of the ship.  The first thing King Vegeta noticed was that the person standing directly in front of the door was a woman, and a very strange looking one at that.  Her hair was lighter than any he had ever seen, and her skin was far paler than that of any Saiyan.  She looked like one of the goddess worshiped in the ancient Saiyan religions.  "Who is the woman, Bardock?  A slave?"

"Well….."

"Konnichiwa!" the woman called from on top of the ramp with a wave.  "You must be the people that hailed us."  The aqua-haired goddess stepped carefully down the ramp, and a tall, black-haired male with multiple scars on his face followed her.  Behind him there was a raven-haired woman, a small boy with messy black hair, and a short bald monk.  The Saiyan King hardly noticed the others as he was focusing his attention on the blue haired beauty.

"What is the meaning of this Woman?  Where is the captain of your ship?" Vegeta asked.

"Right here," Bulma replied.  "I'm the captain."

"A woman, the captain of a ship?  Is this a joke Bardock?"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Bulma was the first one off the ship when they landed.  The first thing that she saw was a short, yet compact man with dark hair that rose into a tall flame above his head; behind him there was a taller man with a scar across his face that looked a great deal like Goku.  She heard Yamcha walk up behind her followed by Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Krillen.

"Wow, Bulma, you were right….." her boyfriend murmured behind her.  "There really is life on other planets."

"Good observation Yamcha," she muttered.  "I picked up on that when they hailed us."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Well Sire, there is one small factor that I left out when I told you they were coming….." Bardock said with a hint of fear in his voice.  "Their captain is a woman….."

The Saiyan King gave his leading advisor a strange look.  Women were very rare on his planet and their mates and their fathers protected most of them.  There were very few of them that were allowed to fight and purge, let alone fly ships around space.  "What a strange culture they must have….."  Vegeta turned back to the woman, "Let's go Woman.  I want to ask you some questions."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I never introduced myself!" Bulma said when she heard the king call her Woman.  "My name is Bulma."

"That's wonderful Woman, now let's go!"

"My name is BULMA!  B-U-L-M-A, it isn't that difficult to say!"

"Bulma!" Yamcha whispered urgently.  "That may not be such a good idea…..  He seems pretty strong….."

"Woman, you should not mess with me….." Vegeta growled in a warning tone.  "Follow Bardock.  He will show you to your rooms.  You will have to stay here until you refuel."

"Fine," the heiress huffed and turned to follow the tall man that looked almost identical to Goku.  "Um….. Bardock, was it?"

"Yes," he replied gruffly as he led them through the dome shaped palace. 

"Do you happen to have a son?" 

"I had two," he replied.  "One still lives on Vegeta-sei, and the other was sent to a planet called Chikyuu."

"You had a son sent to Chikyuu?"

"Yes. Why?"

"You see, I'm from Chikyuu, and one of the people I brought with me looks almost exactly like you.  He's still on the ship."

Bardock tried to hide his excitement over the fact that he may have his youngest son back.  "Why is he still in your ship?"

"I don't know," Chi-Chi answered for Bulma.

The Saiyan ignored the raven-haired woman, "How many rooms will you need?"

Bulma thought for a second, "Four.  I suppose Gohan can share a room with his parents or one of you two.  Right Chi?"

"Yeah, four rooms should be-"

"Why don't you make it three rooms," Yamcha interrupted.

The blue-eyed heiress turned on her boyfriend, "I hope that means you expect to get some from Krillen….."

"Come on Bulma Babe.  We've been going out since we were sixteen.  I think it's about time we-"

"Don't even think it Yamcha.  We'll take four rooms Bardock."

The tall Saiyan nodded and led Chi-Chi and Gohan to their room.  Yamcha and Krillen's rooms were right across the hallway.  "Seeing as you're the captain of the ship I thought you'd like something a little fancier than the other rooms."  Bardock open the door to reveal a large room furnished in with a rich colored wood and royal blue. 

"It's amazing….."  The heiress surveyed the room that was almost larger than the one she had back on Chikyuu.  Off to one side there were large doors that stood open to reveal a balcony that overlooked a large forest.  "Thank you Bardock.  So who was that guy that I met outside?  He seemed awfully rude."

"That would be the Saiyan no Ou."

~*~*~*~*~*~

The Woman was running late.  It shouldn't have taken this long to find a room for her to stay in.  Vegeta paced in front of his throne.  Well, technically, thrones.  There were two large chairs, but only one of them was ever sat in.  The other hadn't been used since the reign of Vegeta's mother, Rosicheena.  The current King Vegeta wasn't likely to take a mate, even though he needed an heir.  He was sure that some wench would eventually want to become the mother of the future king of Vegeta-sei, so he waited for the right one.  A flash of blue caught his attention, "It took you long enough woman."

"I'm sorry about that…..  I was just looking for my friend Goku.  You haven't seen him have you?  His wife is looking for him.  I wanted to apologize for earlier…..  I didn't realize that you were the Saiyan King, and sometimes my temper gets the better of me."

"Right….." Vegeta was about to continue when he felt a something touch his tail lightly.  "What the hell?!"

~**~**~**~**~**~

What touched Veggie's tail?  What's going on?  Find out next time on Planet of the Saiyans!!!!!!!!!

A/n: So what did you think?  Hmmm?  Was it good?  Yes, I know it was late, but was it good?!  I must know!  Plz R&R!

Pray for Peace

and

Go with God
