"Enterprise to Rigalleto come in. Rigalleto respond!" Picard yelled
"Sir we've lost them." Data said.
Picard looked at the android then to his first officer. Riker stood there with a determined look on his face.
"Oh don't worry Number One," Picard said "We're going there to investigate. This is terrible. I mean how could this fegeta or whatever his name is, be so powerful."
"Yes," Data said "And how could I have not suspected that Tarraget was gay. I attended the academy with him I always knew he was different but..."
"Data!" Counselor Troi scolded "This is not the time to try out your humor section on your emotions chip.!"
Picard walked the length of the bridge. Looked at Riker. "Mr. Data lay in an intercept course for that ship."
Data pressed the appropriate buttons. "Course laid in sir."
"Engage!"

Picard sat in his ready room. He leaned back in his chair sorting through his thoughts. Remembering the transmissions he had heard. Someone powerful enough to destroy a Borg cube with one blast He thought. Picard still didn't even have a clue what he was going to do when he found that ship. With such power there was no chance the Enterprise wouldn't stand a chance against it. How could someone have so much power!
"It's not so hard Mon Capitan !"
Picard jumped at the sound of Q's voice.
"After all," Q said sitting on top of Picard's fish tank "Certain beings are even more powerful."
" Q." Picard said sitting up "I should have known that you had something to do with this."
"Oh Picard" Q disappeared and reappeared behind the captain. "If I was you I wouldn't be talking to me in such a rude manner. After all you know that I am your best chance at beating Vegeta."
Picard studied Q "You don't want to help us Q. Why have you brought this man here. You used the Borg eight years ago to prove that we are inferior. You made your point then what game are you at playing now."
"Picard." Q cried "That hurts, you always assume that I'm playing a game with you. Very well when your ready for my help just call my name!" Q disappeared but his voice sounded from nowhere "Oh when you meet Vegeta you might want to do what he says. I'd hate to have to clean up your pieces from across the Cosmos"
Q's voice faded and Picard sighed and thought about how nice it would be to shoot Q.
Riker's voice suddenly chimed in through the intercom. "Riker to Picard"
"Go ahead Number One." Picard replied.
"We've just picked up Vegeta's ship on long range sensors, it looks like its headed straight for us ."
"Go to yellow alert" Picard ordered.

Tou Pa stood in the center of the Brig staring at his prisoners. They were quite the catch. Some of them looked human others did not. One had green skin and very pointy ears. Another had three eyes. Still another didn't have a nose
The medic scanned them. "Well, Only one three of them have ever been encountered before."
"What are those three?" Tou Pa enquired.
"The female, nose-less and the one with scars on his face are all human The other five appear to be unknown species."
"Human!" He shrieked. His face suddenly flushing with his green Romulan blood. "There must be something wrong with your sensors! Humans don't do what they did!"
"Sir, I know very well what they di..."
Tou Pa cut him off "HUMANS don't take out fifty trained soldiers in the blink of an eye. Who knows what they might have done if we hadn't captured the female."
The scarred human stood up and walked to the edge of his cell. "Where is Bulma!" he demanded
Tou Pa walked up to the cell "You are a prisoner! Do not speak to me until you are addressed to by me! Now you tell me which one of you is in charge?"
"I am." one of the aliens spoke up as he walked to Tou Pa. This one looked perfectly human. He had long hair that pointed in many strange directions.
"My name is Goku."
"Goku," Tou Pa addressed him " Is there a Captain in front of that name."
"Well some people call me Son Goku!" Goku replied. "You know we are really sorry about what happened to your men. They attacked us first we were only defending ourselves."
"A likely story!" Tou Pa snorted. "I think that what's more likely is that you are Federation super soldiers and are here to over throw the Romulan Star Empire."
"Huh?" Goku said stupidly "Well um... actually we were just going to look for Dragon Balls because Bulma wanted to wish for a giant pearl. And Gohan wanted to get a college degree and I wanted the world's biggest Angel food cake!"
"You obviously have a very cunning and intelligent mind to fabricate a story like that." Tou Pa replied "You will tell us everything that the Federation had planned before we stopped you If you do not tell us willingly we will torture all of you starting with the female!"
Suddenly one of the aliens stood up it was the green one "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" he roared as his body began to glow! The force field began to falter and the deck began to crack!
Tou Pa suddenly tapped a button on the wall. "Now Major." he wailed. The female was transported right beside the Romulan commander. Tou Pa put his disrupter to her skull.
"Mother!" one of them yelled Suddenly his purple hair went straight up and changed into a glowing gold color. A gold aura surrounded him .
"Trunks! Piccolo! NO!" Goku suddenly yelled. "Don't do it! calm down. We don't want to risk it."
Tou Pa signaled to his men they started to leave the room. Tou Pa turned and sneered at Goku.
"I'll give you two hours to decide how willing you will be to tell me what I want to know."
Tou Pa with the Disruptor still pointed at Bulma's head left the room.

Picard came out of his ready room. "What's the situation Will?" he said
"We set in a course to go through that nebula" Riker pointed to a computer display it showed the Enterprise, a nebula , and Vegeta's ship. " We were going to hide in the nebula and try to observe Vegeta's ship before confronting it."
"Very good." Picard said "What went wrong?"
"Vegeta changed course his ship is now heading right to us."
Picard studied the readout.
"He will intercept the Enterprise in fifteen minutes if he maintains his current course and speed." Riker finished.
"Mr. Data." Picard said "Set in a new course heading 519mark 29, Warp seven."
"Captain," Data pointed out "at that speed and course we will meet up with Vegeta in exactly five minutes thirteen seconds, seven milise...."
"I know that Data" Picard said, "I don't want to go sneaking around like a Romulan. I want to meet this Vegeta head on see if we can't reason with him."
"Then let us prepare a back up plan." Worf said from his station.
"Make it so. Mr. Worf" Picard said.
