CHAPTER 8 THE BALL AND THE LIGHT

Rya sat in a large room that use to belong to her, nothing changed much in the old room the bed still was sheeted in red and spiral sheets of white going down the posts on the sides. The ceiling was painted a beautiful and elegant black with white feathers that looked so real they seemed almost ready drop down. A mirror stood above the large dresser where she sat on a wooden chair. The floor was made of a light tinted grey stone and the walls were painted white. Emerald had closed off this room when she left and now here she sat again in the room where she spent her childhood.

She looked into the mirror her long silver hair was no longer tied up in a ponytail but flowing down elegantly down her shoulders, she was wearing a long white flowing robe like gown, it was the same dress her mother use to make her wear she hadn't changed much since then. It was one sleeved and it was cut along the middle in holes and went riddply along her wrist below her hand, it fell down to her waist where a long silver colored sash was tied along her waist and into a large rose shaped bow. The rest of the dress fell in a flowing like material that seemed like it was rippled almost like water. On her feet she wore short heel white shoes.

Suddenly the door opened and Rya didn't even look over as Emerald entered the room wearing his silver one sleeved uniform. She watched him through the mirror as he made his way behind her and he chuckled as he saw her.

'If you weren't such a pain id complement you on your beauty" Emerald said.

'Keep your flattery what do you wont from me?" Rya asked, 'Why are you doing all this?"

'A princess needs to beautiful if she is to make her final pledge to her king" Emerald said.

'What?" She asked, 'I will never swear an oath of loyalty to you"

'Oh no I wont you to make it work" Emerald said.

'Make what work?" She asked.

'The light" Emerald whispered in her ears and her eyes caught into a startled look.

^

'I feel weird" Goten said as he fidgeted around in his own robes.

'I Haven't worn anything like this since I was small" Vegeta said.

Cleo stood back and looked at her work, it wasn't too bad she could say herself they actually looked like high classed citizens of Aries. All were dressed in white uniforms with gold trim and with a lot of work she managed to part each of there hair and pull it back into a ponytail. Now they were riding in a carriage taking them to the ball which was held in the palace.

'Now remember all of you" Cleo said, 'Act casual and stay by me you'll be my chaperones and no going anywhere near the buffet table"

'I hate wearing this thing" Gohon said, "We and Rya usually don't attend balls held by Emerald we're usually too busy or just too lazy to dress ourselves up"

'By the way where did that weird guy go?" Goku asked.

'He'll be there don't you worry now the coach is almost there" She said and looked at Gohon who's hair stuck up as always and refused to let her part them or do anything with them. 'And you find Rya and stay by her Emerald probably will be keeping an eye on her"

'Right" Gohon said and the coach stopped and slowly as they exited the five sayains and Cleo the shaman walked into the hallway.

Gohon looked around the ball room everyone was dancing to the soft music of the band and suddenly he spied Emerald sitting in his throne overlooking the dancers and next to him sitting in a smaller throne was a beautiful women his age. Suddenly he realized this women was Rya in a dress and done up with makeup and jewels.

Walking over he stood before the thrones and Emerald look down upon him with a grin.

'Rya?" He asked looking at her, 'May I dance with you?"

'Certainly" Rya said and looked at Emerald, 'If his majesty does not have a problem with it"

'Go ahead dance all night if you wish" Emerald said, 'But remember I have my plans"

Gohon slowly took her hand and lead her onto the dance floor where a slow waltz started.

'I never knew you could dance" Rya said.

'And I never knew you had a beauty hiding under all that armor and sword" Gohon said and turned her around slowly and brought her back around close to him.

'Emerald has something planned for the light of Aries" Rya said, 'He plans to use it tonight"

'What but I thought he couldn't" Gohon said.

'By the way I see Cleo dressed them all up nice almost didn't recognize Vegeta" Rya chuckled, 'And you don't look half bad yourself"

'Yes well your beautiful" Gohon said and felt himself draw her in closer to his body.

'Don't let the dress fool you" Rya said, 'I still am a soldier and nothing not even jewels, dresses or makeup can change the way I feel about everything"

Cleo chuckled as she watched them dance, they were staying close to the east wall. Vegeta and Goku looked over also.

'Look at them dancing over there" Cleo sighed, 'They make a perfect couple"

"Huh remind me to tear him to pieces later" Vegeta growled.

'Gees Vegeta are you jeleous?" Goky chuckled.

'No now stop asking you idiot" Vegeta growled.

Meanwhile Goten and Trunks were walking around the ball room floor watching the other couples dance.

'I feel stupid Trunks" Goten complained. 'I feel like we're only three feet tall"

'Goten you are Three feet tall" Trunks said, 'But I don't blame you I feel sort of weird too"

Suddenly a giggling sound was heard and they turned to see two girls there ages standing nearby looking at them chuckling to each other. Both were wearing long one sleeved red dresses and both had long curly brown hair, thus the two sayains realized they were twins.

'Hi" One girl giggled, 'We've never seen you two around here before"

'Um we're uh" Trunks said, 'My names Trunks and this is Goten"

'What funny names" The second chuckled. 'I'm Malan and this is my twin sister Talan, you wanna dance?"

'Dance?" The boys asked and slowly backed away and started to run.

'Come back!" Malan cried.

'No way girls have cutees!" Goten cried.

'Or worst kissing" Trunks screamed.

^

Emerald overlooked the dance floor, he recognized Cleo with her chaperones and two young children running around. But what he was most interested in was the fact that Rya was dancing with Gohon, chuckling to himself he found the perfect way to unless his power and love was the answer. Raising his hand the music stopped and he raised both of his arms in the air.

'My guests I welcome you to the palace of Aries and I King Emerald wish to present the main event of this lovely evening" Emerald cried.

'Get ready here it comes" Cleo said.

'What comes?" Goku asked.

Suddenly they watched as two men rolled a small golden table into the throne room and into the centre of the ballroom on top was a white sheet on top of something. Emerald slowly walked towards the table and hauled off the sheet revealing a beautiful ten pointed star that shinned off light that amazed everyone, slowly he took off the glass top then turned around the room.

'The light of Aries" Rya said as she looked at it's glowing aura.

'I can feel it's power" Gohon gasped, 'It's extraordinary"

'Wow that thing packs a punch" Goku gasped.

'Hush you idiot" Vegeta growled.

'What is it?" Trunks asked as he watched the light from under a table where they were hiding from those two girls.

'I dunno but it sure is pretty" Goten awed.

'Now Light of Aries I King Emerald eldest son of Queen Starlight command you!" Emerald cried, 'Show me the princess of Aries!"

'Oh no" Vegeta cried.

Suddenly a light shot out of the star and up to the ceiling, people awed and some clapped but then they screamed as a pulsing surge came from the crystal. Gohon looked towards Rya who seemed to be glowing and suddenly a beam of light struck her forehead and as it died down a brilliant star was on her forehead, Gohon knew this mark well it was the star only the royal family bared.

'Emerald!" Vegeta screamed powering up his hair going back to it's pointed state.

'Ah Vegeta there you are my dear step brother" Emerald said, 'I almost didn't regonize you without your pointed carrot top head"

'Why you" Vegeta growled but Goku held the sayain prince back.

'I present to you my people the Princess of Aries Starlight!" Emerald cried, 'My sweet dear little sister"

Rya growled his words were twisted and poison to her and all around her people were gasping and pointing at her. All those people thought Starlight dead yet here before them she stood and the royal symbol proved it.

'Rya is this true?" Gohon asked. 'You aren't Starlight are you? It's a trick right?"

'Sigh" Rya said and looked at Gohon, 'No it is no trick my real name is indeed Princess Starlight youngest daughter to Queen Starlight and sister to Emerald. I'm sorry I kept it from you from all of you but you must understand if you knew my powers are no longer what they use to be for I cannot save anyone"

'How true you are Starlight!" Emerald cried, 'Now"

Suddenly he snapped his fingers and guards with spears appeared in all the windows, walls and doors. All armed with laser rifles and wearing Ri armor.

'If you wont these people to live I suggest you tell me the secret to the lights power" Emerald said.

'I will never tell you" Rya cried, 'The Light of Aries obeys only those with pure hearts and yours is solid as ice Emerald and your soul is just as wicked and the words you speek are like poison!"

'Fine have it your way!" Emerald said and snapped his fingers.

'Not so fast!" Goku cried and powered up and all the sayains suddenly attacked the guards causing there lasers to miss there targets.

'Quickly everyone out this way!" Cleo screamed as she helped the people escape the ball room and into the hallways then the court yard.

'Impressive but I still hold the major key in this little battle" Emerald said and disappeared and suddenly appeared behind Rya who quickly turned around and tried to punch him but missed and Emerald countered by grabbing her neck with his arm and holding the other out as a dagger made of ice appeared in his palm. Grabbing it he held it close to the Rya's heart.

'Don't you dare hurt her Emerald" Vegeta growled.

'Oh don't worry now Vegeta tell me your family" Emerald said, 'It seems mother told everyone how the star worked but me pity, now tell me how it works before our sister ends up in an early grave"

'Sister?" Goku asked, 'Hey so that's why you were so nice to her"

'Oh shut up Kakorate" Vegeta said.

'Coward!" Gohon screamed and rushed up from behind and I the dagger from Emeralds hand and knocked him away from Rya as she fell to the ground.

Vegeta rushed up towards Rya as she didn't manage to pick herself up.

'What's wrong with her?" Goku asked as he saw she had fainted and was breathing heavily.

'The damn crystal is the blame we need to get her out of here" Vegeta said.

'Your not going anywhere!" Emerald cried and suddenly the entire room began to slowly freeze over, 'Now sayains try and beat me if you dare"

Gohon suddenly launched foreword and changing into Ssj l he attacked with a series of punches and kicks. Emerald avoided all of Gohons attacks and suddenly started to attack with his own punches and kicks. Gohon blocked all he could but he got hit in this stomach and Emerald hammer him to the floor using both his hands and bringing them down on his head.

'Now Gohon you will learn your place" Emerald cried and blasted Gohon with a energy blast, he dodged and as he ran around the room Emerald blasted him and he laughed while he did it, he found these sayains entertaining and it had been a long time since he had a real fight.

'Enough!" Goku screamed and launched himself at Emerald who blocked his punch with his free hand and his eyes turned towards Goku.

'So your Bardoks child interesting" Emerald chuckled and turned his attention at Goku and blasted the super sayain jin at point blank rang. The smoke rose into the air and Emerald chuckled. 'Well now you survived I guess you are worth my time after all"

'Boy come here and look after your aunt!" Vegeta screamed and the two boys came running across the room.

Vegeta stepped foreword and both sayain turned super sayain level 1 and then super sayain level2. Then both attacked Emerald with energy waves and Emerald countered with his own and both met in the middle of the blast locked in mortal combat and exchanging punches and kicks.

Meanwhile the two sayain boys were totally confused as they looked at the fainted Rya.

'So she's your aunt?" Goten asked.

'Uh this day just gets weirder and weirder" Trunks said and Gohon came running over and pick up Rya.

'Trunks throw that sheet over the crystal" Gohon cried.

'Uh right" Trunks said and took the small white sheet and after placing the glass plate ontop of the light, then threw the sheet over. Picking it up off the table he ran over towards Gohon. "Now what?"

'You two take Rya somewhere place safe like the woods" Gohon said and turned towards the battle, "I have a score to settle"

Trunks and Goten ran towards the door only to find it frozen, Goten was holding Rya so Trunks held the light in one arm while he blasted the door open. Emerald suddenly saw the two sayain boys getting away with the light and his sister.

'No!" Emerald cried and ignoring the others flew towards the children. "Give me back those things!"

Suddenly Gohon, Goku and Vegeta blocked his decent standing there they watched as they entered the hallway.

'If you wont them you need to get through us first" Vegeta said.

Emerald and the sayains launched foreword at the same foreword and the battle began yet again

^

The young sayains carrying Rya and the light of Aries ran through the hallways when suddenly Cleo ran down the hallways towards them.

'Cleo" Trunks cried.

'Trunks, Goten" Cleo said and saw what they carried, 'We must get both the light and Rya to the woods right away"

Suddenly they watched as the same odd man from the Inn appeared behind them.

'Quickly grab hold this place is not safe anymore!" The man screamed as the hallway started to shake and grabbing the mans hand they disappeared as the ceiling of the hallway collapsed.
