Xy had to practically drag Piccolo to the palace again. He didn't want to go, he knew King Vegeta wanted him dead. Xy, on the other hand, wanted to find out why King Vegeta didn't like Nameks.
When they got to the palace gates the guards let them straight through but when they entered the throne room the royal guards snatched Piccolo away from Xy and held him in a lock (they had to have 4 guards on either side of him). "Hey! What do you think you're doing!" Xy yelled at King Vegeta. The Saiyan king just sat calmly and replied "You knew I wanted your brother dead for not knowing his place, Thank you for finding him for me."
"I didn't find him for you! I just wanted him back." He then turned as he heard a cry of pain. Piccolo was hanging limply in the guards' arms; the guard next to him was holding some kind of gadget.
King Vegeta stood up "Guards. Take him to the dungeon. Tomorrow at sunset his head will roll."
Xy stood in complete shock as his brother was taken way. He then ran out of the throne room, down some corridors, he didn't know where he was going but he didn't care. His eyes were stinging and tears started to trickle down his cheeks when he crashed head long into someone.
"Piccolo? No. Xy! What are you doing here?"
"Prince Vegeta! I'm so glad you're here! You have to help me!" Vegeta helped the distraught Namek to his feet "What happened?"
"Your father just sentenced Piccolo to death"
"Oh, the old off-with-his-head thing"
"I don't understand. Piccolo hasn't done anything wrong except defend his race against discrimination."
"Well, Father doesn't really like Nameks that much"
"No? Really? I'd never noticed!"
"Ok, Ok! You're upset, I get it! Look, I don't know much about it except it was something the ancient Nameks did and the Saiyans have hated them for it ever since. My sister knows more about it because she's spent more time with Father, I was always training or being abducted by an evil psychopath"
"You have a sister? Piccolo never told me that"
"Well he had a secret twin so why can't I have a secret sister"
"Good point" Xy tried to imagine Vegeta's sister as they walked up to her room, the best he could come up with was a double of Vegeta with longer hair that went down instead of up. With this image in his head he wasn't sure if he wanted to meet her or not.
When they got there they had climbed so many staircases Xy thought his legs were going to fall off. Vegeta knocked on the door and they went in. The room was beautiful, it was a balcony large French doors leading of it, the windows and the bed were draped in a pinky-purple fabric that looked so soft and smooth Xy thought that it must only be found on this planet. Sitting on the bed was the complete opposite to what he thought the Princess would look like. Her long raven black hair was like her brother's except it was silky and smooth unlike Vegeta's rugged spikes. She was petite in structure but had an independent and dominant feel about her, her face was a perfect oval, her eyes were dark and she had full, curved lips. She was wearing a silk gown that clung to her body in all the right places, part of her toned leg was showing, but not too much as to give anything away. Xy found himself staring in awe at the woman in front of him, he had never noticed a woman in this way before, he was a Namek, he wasn't meant to. Of course Piccolo hadn't obeyed the Namekian rule of virginity but Xy had, he was now seriously rethinking his decision. The urge to become a Namek rebel like his twin was almost overwhelming.
She stood up and walked over to them, held out her hand and said in the sweetest voice Xy had ever heard "Hi, I'm Jaika. You must be Xy" Xy could do nothing but take her hand and nod. Vegeta chuckled "Yeah, that's usually how guys greet her but I wasn't expecting it from a Namek" Jaika playfully elbowed her brother "Vegeta! Don't be mean!"
"I'm always mean"
"Not to me you're not"
"You're an exception"
She then turned back to the love struck Namek that was Piccolo's twin "So, you want to know why dad hates Namek huh?"
His eyes widened "How'd you know?"
"I'm an excellent eavesdropper," She then pointed her thumb over her shoulder to Vegeta "I learned from the best"
"I need to save my brother. I thought if I knew why King Vegeta hated Nameks so much that it would help"
"Ok then. You might want to sit down, this may come as a shock to you"
All three of them sat down on Jaika's bed, Xy sat cross-legged and Vegeta couldn't believe how much he looked like his brother.
"So," Jaika started "The ancient Nameks were nothing like the Nameks now. They fought a lot and were a lot like Saiyans. The Saiyans used to be called the Trojians, we changed the name of the race to the surname of the person who saved us all and become the first Saiyan King. Our..Vegeta what is it?"
"I think it's our great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather"
"Something like that anyway. What happened was that the Trojians were doing goods trade with the Nameks, we gave them equipment for their tools and weapons and they gave us protection during our times of weakness, like on a new moon. But one time the Nameks decided that they didn't want to trade any more, that we were being attacked to often and they were loosing too many men. So they attacked us instead, they didn't completely destroy the planet but it was left in pieces, there were only 170 of us left alive. Our ancestor Vegeta Saiyan, gathered all the survivors and we left for a new planet, this one that's why all the men in our family who are going to take the throne are called Vegeta, after him."
"Except I messed it up calling Trunks, Trunks instead of Vegeta" Vegeta added
Jaika carried on "We had little resources and no way of protecting ourselves so we had to rely on Frieza's family, which backfired in the end as he destroyed this planet and we were wiped out again."
Xy sat in silence. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, the Nameks were why the Saiyans were destroyed, why Frieza had had such a hold on the universe, why Vegeta had had such a horrible child-hood, Why Vegeta had been separated from his family, taken away and forced to kill. The tears came again; he whispered, "Vegeta, I'm so sorry"
"What? What are you sorry for? It wasn't you. You and Piccolo don't even come from the main Namekian family, it's all in the past"
"But the Nameks are responsible for everything bad that's happened to the Saiyans. No wonder your father hates us"
"But if the Nameks didn't do what they did then my family wouldn't be on the throne. Father tends to forget that little detail"
Jaika shuffled over closer to Xy, she saw that he was crying and much to his surprise, gave him a hug "Come on Xy, don't cry. Like Vegeta said, it's all in the past. All we need to worry about now is saving your brother then we can all be happy again OK." Xy's tears stopped when she kissed him on the cheek and gave him another hug. Over the Princess's shoulder Xy could see Vegeta smirking and mouthing to him saying, "She likes you"
Xy couldn't help but smile.
Yay! Chapter 4 done! Wahoo! Please review!
