"What do you want with me?!" Vegeta demanded hoarsely. A thorned whip hit
her across the face.
"SILENCE FEEBLE THING!!" Someone in a black hood thundered. He whipped her again across the face. "You will be a sufficient sacrifice to our great god Satan.
Vegeta drew in a sharp breath at the name. {Fantastic devil worshipers, and I get to be their little sacrifice, what more could I want?} she thought savagely, the whip landed on her neck and scraped off some skin. The shackles that chained her feet and wrists were incredibly strong and tight, it cut into her very skin exposing raw flesh in which infectious rat sized bloodsuckers didn't hesitate to bite into. The shackles were attached to a huge boulder stained with the blood of other unfortunate creatures. The room they were in had no doors or any place that looked like anyone could escape through.
"But in order to be a sufficient sacrifice you must be half dead. And as you can see you're still fully alive. But not to worry we'll make sure you'll be half dead by the end of the semester (month)." The hooded figure whipped the princess 10 more times then after laughing wickedly walked through the wall.
"Got to get out of here." She muttered to herself. She kicked several bloodsuckers as they hopped up to her open wounds. Vegeta had no idea what- so-ever how she got into the predicament she was now in all she remembered was blacking out and of course remembered feeling someone dragging her on the ragged cave wall. But what truly amazed her was the fact that she couldn't even feel her ki anymore, it was as if it just disappeared. One thing was for certain though, it were the Quets who got her.

"Okay I think I've got it." Goku said. He had learned the instant transmission technique only after few days of lessons from Younv and occasional advice from Zwqua and some other Trsks. "So all I have to do is lock on to someone's ki - energy signal - then I do all that stuff you taught me, right?"
"Yes. Learn well you do. Let's see you try." Younv said with a nod.
"Hmm who should I go and find first. Oh I know!" The saiyan closed his eyes and put two fingers on his forehead and disappeared.

Zwqua upturned a rock and collected all the green stringy mushcoss in the hole and stuffed it into his knapsack. The dense brush was dark and a good place to be attacked but it was the only place where there was any mushcoss grew, mushcoss were long thick stringy strands of green soggy foliage that grew under rocks though smelly and disgusting looking they were quite tasty when cooked right. Whistling to himself he turned to walk away when a heavy hand fell onto his shoulder, the startled Trsk turned around and pulled out a blade 15 inches out of thin air.
"Wow there! I'm sorry!" Goku said. His hands were raised in front of him indicating that he had no intention of harming him. "I didn't mean to startle you."
Zwqua pulled back his blade to the ground and it disappeared into the hilt, "No need to say sorry. Goku fast learner. You master technique in short time. But don't scare Zwqua like that!!!" The Trsk scolded.
"Hey sorry! What are you so hyped up about anyway? There aren't any dangerous animals around here are there?" Goku said. He looked around.
Zwqua shook his head then upturned another rock nearby, "Yes dangerous animals there are. Memro, Croaxz, Abas, and many many more dangerous creatures. But I most cautious about Quets." Zwqua bent down and picked up a huge bundle of mushcoss.
The saiyan walked over to the Trsk curiously, "Quets? Why do you fear them?"
Zwqua stood up rigid and stuffed the mushcoss in his bag, "Quets worship evil god name Satan. Their god want sacrifice in blood. They take someone and make them half dead and then throw them into fires of hell where devils and monsters eat the flesh. This time of rotation (A/N: year) they take a Trsk who stupid enough to go out alone with no blade or fighting experience and sacrifice them."
Goku stiffened, "I've heard of Satan. Back on earth there are people who do worship him but not many because there are more people who worship God and reject Satan. God is . . . well I'm not of the religion so I don't really know how to explain it. . . but I get what you mean."
Zwqua nodded, "Yes but very strange thing that we have not had anyone missing. One person by now would disappeared, unless. . . . ." The Trsk looked up at his saiyan friend only to find that the same idea struck him as well.
Goku looked down and said firmly, "No. Vegeta is way to smart for that. Too strong." But even he doubted his words.
Zwqua looked straight ahead, "Hope we shall that she is strong and smart as you say."

Vegeta gasped, she had managed to get out of the shackles holding her down now the only problem was trying to get out of the twisted caves alive. She stumbled on blindly using the cave wall as her support and guide. She felt a draft in the air and headed toward it, there was a small opening just big enough for her to squeeze through.
"Quick! You go left, you go right I'll search up ahead and we'll meet back here in 4 cycles. Go!" Vegeta's ears picked up the hushed words and hastily crammed herself into the little cleft, just in time too. A Quet crawled up and stuck it's head into the hole, Vegeta pressed herself hard against the stone thankful that her clothes were soaked in dark red blood therefore camouflaging her. She held her breath and crawled closer into the shadows of the inner cave as the Quet crawled in, but soon jumped out and prowled out side. Vegeta let out a low breath then started stumbling along again, she kept on walking for what seemed hours and hours. The saiyan princess saw a small light shimmering up above she started crawling upward she didn't even notice that she was bleeding heavily or the fact that her injuries were throbbing, all she concentrated on was reaching the light. And she did.
"Zwqua. Is mushcoss what they use to make the stuffing for eelexs?" Vegeta had a sudden surge of hope when she heard Goku's voice, she barely heard the Trsk's reply. She dragged herself into his direction, the first thing she saw of him was his hair then his face then his whole body. Suddenly she fell something jumped on top of her and gag her.
"Quiet bitch or we kill them and you." The Quet whispered into Vegeta's ear. The princess obeyed.
"We go now. Have lot and lot of mushcoss. Good for eelexs at dinner." Zwqua said. Vegeta hoped with all her might that they would walk in her direction. Something rolled in front of her face - a piece of mushcoss!
"Whoops, I'll get that sorry." Goku said. He walked over to where the mushcoss was he bent down and picked up the piece without even noticing the hopeful eyes latched on to him. He walked away.

"You try something like that again you bitch and you'll be sorry you were ever born!!!" The Quet said whipping the princess with two thorned whips. The whips lashed at her skin exposing more raw flesh the Quet lashed at her 50x hard before leaving her to deal with the blood suckers.
{So close yet so infuriatingly far.} Vegeta thought and for the first time in her life, since the death of her planet she broke down and cried her eyes out.
"SILENCE FEEBLE THING!!" Someone in a black hood thundered. He whipped her again across the face. "You will be a sufficient sacrifice to our great god Satan.
