Chapter 2: My name is.

"This is just my luck," Goten said with a sigh but stopped because the tube was falling.

"Tell me about it."

"Well I finally got a girlfriend and she gets kidnapped."

"What!?!" Trunks said almost dropping the boy. "Do you know what will happen to you if my dad finds out!"

"He wasn't going too. Oh man, I just thought of something."

"What?"

"Trunks how am I going to tell your dad about losing his only daughter?" "I'll tell him and Gohan," Trunks said shuddering at the thought.
**********
"Gohan, what's wrong?" "Nothing Videl. I'm just worried about Pan I guess."

"Oh. Is that it? Gohan nothing will happen to Pan. I'm sure she's fine. But just to make sure we'll go to Capsule Corp. and see."

"Thanks Videl," he said as they took off.
**********
"Come on Chi-Chi. I'm starving," Goku said as he laid his head on the table.

"I'm sorry Goku but you'll just have to wait."

"But I'm so hungry."

"I'm almost done just wait."
**********
"Mom! Dad! Come here quick!" Trunks yelled as they entered the Capsule Corp. building.

"What is it Trunks? I'm doing some important research."

"Hurry, it's important."

"What the hell is that?" Vegeta asked as he walked into the room followed by Bulma.

"Trunks what's going on?"

"Well me, Bra, Pan, and Goten were at the mall eating when some guys appeared and blasted away the roof. Then when we got up Bra and Pan were gone."

"I think they kidnapped them because they said something about taking them to their master."

"Shut up Goten! I'm telling the story. Well anyway, we flew out to find them and found this along the way," he said pointing to the tube Goten was carrying, "and he came out of it," he said gesturing to the boy in his arms.

"And that's about it."

"Trunks take him upstairs and put him in a guest room. Goten take that tube and come with me," Bulma said walking toward her lab.

"Hmph," Vegeta said as he walked out of the room toward the kitchen.

Trunks took the boy upstairs and laid him on a bed.

"Are you happy now?" Chi-Chi asked Goku as he dug into the huge mound of food before him.

Goku nodded his head rapidly.

"Good cause after you eat you're going to do the dishes."

"What!?!" Goku yelled choking on a piece of spaghetti.

"That's right I feed you and get nothing in return and now I've decided that if I cook you food you have to do the dishes."

"But Chi-Chi."

"No buts Goku."
**********
"It looks like some kind of life support system," Bulma said examining the tube, "but it has some weird effects."

"That's cause it is," said a voice that appeared from nowhere.

"How would you know that Vegeta?"

"Because the Saiyans used a system much similar to this."

"Is that so?" Bulma snickered.

"This device suspends the organism within it."

"Which means?" Goten asked lost.

"It means an organism lives inside this thing until whoever put it in the tube releases it. And that inside it the organism sleeps until summoned. Isn't that right Vegeta? Vegeta?"

"Where'd Vegeta go?"

"It doesn't matter let's get back to work?"
**********
'"No get away from me! Leave me alone!" Someone snickers. "There is no escape. You will belong to me."

Lightning flashes across the sky. "Get in the tube." "No leave me alone! I'm not going back in there! I won't listen." "You will obey me! GET IN THE TUBE NOW!" Thunder roars and rain starts to fall. "I'm not your slave! You don't control me! I won't do it! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!" "Don't underestimate me fool. HaHaHaHaHa!"

"Ahh! No!"'

He sat up immediately yelling 'You can't make me.' But he then realized he was in a room and surrounded by lots of people.

"Where am I? Who are you people?" he asked confused.

"It's okay. We're here to help you."

"Who are you?" he asked again.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Trunks. That's my mom, Bulma and my dad, Vegeta."

"Vegeta?" he asked confused.

"Yeah and that's Gohan and his wife, Videl. And that's Krillain and 18, with their daughter Marron. And that is Chi-Chi and her husband, Goku."

"Who the hell are you?" Vegeta spat.

"I'm.I'm.my name is."

"I don't have all day. Who the fuck are you?"

"My name is." he said uncertainly.

"What's that?" Gohan asked pointing to something wrapped around the boy's waist. The boy immediately pulled up the covers.

"Vegeta is that what I think it is?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta nodded slowly.

"He's got a TAIL!" Trunks shrieked.

"Who the hell are you and why do you have a tail?" Vegeta spat.

"I'm. I was. I was born with it," the boy finally managed to sputter out.

"Who are you?" Gohan asked suspiciously.

"I know you're probably freaked out about my tail since it's probably not common to see one but." his voice trailed off.

"ANSWER ME!" Vegeta roared.

"Well, my name is. My name is Darves," he finally remembered.

"You probably need your rest Darves," Bulma added quickly, "so I think we should go."

"We're going home. Marron you can stay here if Bulma doesn't mind," Krillain said as he and 18 turned to leave.

"Mom and Videl should probably go home too."

Darves watched as everyone left the room and saw Vegeta look back before disappearing. 'Vegeta, Vegeta, why does that name sound so familiar? Why can't I remember? Forget about it Darves you're not going to get any answers.' Then slowly Darves drifted into an uneasy sleep.
